ProtonDB doesn’t have any report yet but YouTube is full of videos of content creators that got early access to the game. I was curious to know if anyone tried it with Proton and how it works…
EDIT I just installed it and it seems to work out-of-the-box for me on Ubuntu 23.10 with a AMD 7900 XTX and AMD 5800X. I’m getting around 55 fps at 3440x1440 with almost everything high beside having disabled V-Sync, DoF and Motion blur. AA set to TAA 2x.
Is this a trust me bro?
Not really.
Even with the miniscule amount of overhead Proton adds, if it performs like pure shit on Windows, it will very likely perform like pure shit on Linux too. This isn’t the platform or Proton’s fault, the devs just made a badly optimised game.
The cases where Proton outperforms Windows are edge cases and have more to do with the lightweight-ness of the Linux distro compared to Windows than any magic Proton is doing. Such a jump will make CSII perform a little less shit, not go from dogshit to acceptable
it’s common sense
I don’t understand why people think it’ll run better or different on a platform that literally needs to emulate it.
I have a 3090 and people with 40 series cards natively are saying it runs at less than 30 FPS. I don’t understand why Proton would alleviate any of these issues, seems like it ads more overhead.
Well… There are many cases where proton Linux out perform windows due to Linux having less over head and or vulkan effecencies.
I am not expert. Just wanted to see if you got a more technical explanation for your postion.
I doubt cities will run great on Linux but your absolutist tone didn’t seem right either overall
I’ve had CP2077 run better than Windows, same with WoW, but they work properly on Windows baseline without enormous resources.
