This happened to me when playing Hades a few years ago, choosing DirectX was faster and more stable than Vulkan when using Proton.

It definitely works if you are willing to tinker but we are a low priority and anything that breaks takes a long time to fix. There’s even another project called Envision which runs better than SteamVR but isn’t as easy to use yet.

You could get any headset and attach a modmic to it, it opens up a lot more options.

I moved my Desktop to Linux when the Steam Deck was announced. Before that I had no idea that Linux was able to play almost any game using Proton.

So I think the Steam Deck has also boosted Desktop numbers.

Yeah that’s the one it’s quite easy to set up and test. I haven’t had any issues like that so definitely give it a shot.

Glad to hear! You can add on top of that https://github.com/galister/wlx-overlay-s to be able to control your desktop among other things.

Check out Envision which uses Monado to replace SteamVR. It’s a lot smoother for me but requires some extra setup.

Lutris has a toggle for this so you could check what that calls and add it to your launch script.

I did a quick test with the latest Proton when it came out and everything look fine.

I was having issues with Jedi Survivor and Steam Input apparently due to the latest EA launcher. Turning the controller on after the game loaded fixed the issue for me.

Also a Sunshine user and it works pretty well. For gaming the most seamless experience is Steam Play though but sadly it’s not as good as Sunshine.

My friends can finally see and see my streams with this update. Before it was a choppy mess.

I wonder if this is why my monitor’s brightness was acting up and dimming by itself. I just thought it was time to upgrade the monitor. Haven’t seen the issue in a few days so maybe it’s fixed.

I remember setting up a TeamSpeak server back in 2012 before Discord took over. Worked for us at the time.

EndeavorOS with KDE is basically steamOS without restrictions. I’ve been running it fine for years.

I wonder what they fixed for Helldivers 2. All the bugs I’ve experienced happen to Windows users too.

There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 – only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

Yes as far as I know you need special clients for now. I’ve been using discord-screenaudio for a year or so and it works on Wayland. Also with the latest update of Webcord I’ve been able to stream with audio but friends are saying that it doesn’t sound as good.

Other than showing the xdg-portal popup when sharing your screen the experience is essentially the same as the Discord app.

Yes it is preserved.

Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.
