All Contra games in collection run too fast
Hi all,
When I run any of the Contra games in this collection, they run too fast. So fast that they are actually impossible to play.
I've heard that this is a known issue when running emulated games from the past, but I'd assume that when the game is on Steam, this would have been resolved.
I'm playing on Linux using Proton.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue. I'd assume it's some emulator configuration, but I can't access it. When I press Play in Steam, the game selection menu starts.

Then it must be some Wine/Proton issue...

when you guys say "without a hitch" and "fine"

the games have the same slowdown as the originals had, correct?

I assume so but I mean if the slowdown isn't supposed to be there my games are broken as ♥♥♥♥ lol.

They are pretty much emulation, so yeah the slowdown is because of the limited tech of the systems they were on and the coding. Not much you can do about that stuff, unless they recode and remaster.

Sounds like this is an issue with all of the Konami Collections. I had the same issue with the Castlevania Advance Collection:

Forcing V-sync and locking to 60 FPS in GeForce Control Panel addressed any issues I was having.
