Linux Proton
Anyone have luck running this using Proton? I'm using the latest version of Glorious Eggroll with my Nvidia 1080Ti. The game starts and runs pretty much flawlessly, but when I get to a certain point (around and just after when you discover the ship) the games just keeps hanging, despite running almost flawlessly up until that point.

A video explaing how to import custom protons into steam just went up. It worked for me.

Yeah, I did exactly that, and it works for a little while, but once I get to a certain area, the games just continually locks up. Really strange.

hmmm.
I didn't do anything extra on top of that except making sure i had the latest drivers.

I do have some mild screen tearing that i can live with.

But in my 3 hours, I only only had 1 spot, walking down the stream towards the sea, where it became choppy and then locked up. But I rebooted and went back to the same spot and it was OK. It felt like either a graphics setting too high or a memleak that needs refreshing.

It's playable for me but I'll have to report back after 10 hours.

you need to have the NVIDIA 455.28 driver

Yeah I downloaded the latest drivers and the latest version of proton glorious eggroll.

I tried all types of graphical permutations (vsync on/off, windowed mode, graphics turn down low, high, etc) but the issue persists.

I suspect it's a memleak because it continually happens in the first wide open expanse (where you find the ship).

Strange that it only affects me... But I'll wait to see what others have to say as they continue playing.

since not.really.archie picked the perfect title for searches, we the collective linux proton crowd should keep them updated in all games, yes? As of 01-FEB-2022 we should expect at least a couple linux people to search for does it run on linux during the Lunar New Year sale.

Well I'm happy to say that for nvidia proprietary, even the default SteamPlay aka proton, works just fine. Stable, and you can play without issue. I've tested a few of them, 5.13-6, 6.3-8, experimental. All worked. Played past the ship on everything Ultra.

Having said that, I will still encourage you to install Thomas/GloriousEggroll's version. It's not that Valve's proton is bad or behind. It's not. It's that the GE experience should be (noticeably) glorious by comparison. Faster smoother graphics, and rendered as they would be on a native PE Windows system. Efficient processor time, less overhead. Precise positional audio with HRTF support (my personal albatross). Glitch-free sound without buffer underrun static. It's not a night-and-day comparison, but a dialed-in proton. It's trying to be all the proton that proton could be.

I highly encourage you to install at least one GE proton. Even games where there's a native ELF binary, it's possible it's still the best gaming experience. Think about that.

Hello,
I'm using Proton 7.0RC6, because I initially had some fps drops but then I just lowered some settings and now runs with a stable 60fps.
I have an Nvidia 980 but driver 495, on Fedora.
I played 20h and it works fantastic so far.
