Hot like FIRE!

That setting defaults to off. Changing the default to on means new users won't have to figure out it exists, and shows confidence in proton
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah honestly this was super dumb. I've seen so many people make the mistake of not turning this on (myself included). Even watched a dude make a whole video about Linux gaming with it disabled. It's so stupid to have it off by default.

Yes, exactly. I wonder how many new, non-technical users tried Proton for the first time with the setting off and decided it was crap because nothing worked. I’m glad Valve decided to do this now.

And now Valve needs to figure out how to tell users which game works and which game doesn't work. Maybe some kind of badge for Proton?

Like that, but default on Steam client and store game page.

Steam deck compatibility is close enough to the same thing.

Integrating ProtonDB into the steam client would be a nice.

Unfortunately this doesn't work on the store pages.

They've already expanded it into a non-deck-speciphic thing for the other compatible handhelds.

Best thing I ever did. I got tired of being told how I could use my computer and the spying or course.

I did it a few months ago, honestly after the initial learning it has been a great experience. That's including me having to fuck around with stuff because I chose to run extremely new graphics hardware, and that's kinda on me.

A lot of games that that don’t work on steamdeck because they need more performance still work perfectly well with proton on a decent gaming rig

Do it, just don't play the games that don't work on Linux. I switched 15 years ago and didn't look back. There are so many games at this point why bother with the ones that only work on Windows?

As someone who hasn’t yet migrated their gaming PC to linux, does this mean that third-party games imported into steam should work automatically? No flags or config adjustments?
If so, will it choose specific Proton versions for known games or pick a default (latest, I presume) version for all of them?

Yeah that's what I did but Windows will insert itself to the top of boot entries in UEFI anyway lol

Right now, all you have to do is go to the settings of your non-steam game, go to compatibility, and choose a Proton version. I'm not sure if this change will automate it, but it's pretty much as easy as it can be already.

If that’s really all there is to it at the moment, sounds great! The other obstacles are my nvidia graphics card, and HDR support…
