Comment on Oblivion Remastered troubleshooting

Upvoted, I hope someone can help you here. But also a bit of condescending, it’s been solid as a rock for me on linux :D But, seriously hope you figure it out, it’s frustrating having a new game not work

Same. No problems whatsoever.
I love gaming on Linux

It’s working on Linux? Was it straightforward to setup? I’ve given up buying games on steam because of their terrible Linux support, and I’d seen a lot of comments about the steam deck version sucking, so I’d assumed the Linux version wasn’t great. But maybe the deck hardware is the issue?

Beyond selecting a proton version it was no more difficult to set up than any windows game. Deck hardware I’ve heard issues with, but I’m not surprised. The deck is essentially a mid level right from about 8 years ago. The remaster struggles on my 3090. I was finally able to get 60fps after tweaking graphical settings for a while, but none of that was because of Linux.

Use the Windows version with Proton, it almost always works better.
I’ve been playing Oblivion on Linux through Proton and have had zero issues. Like most games.

I’m not criticising Linux gaming - I know basically nothing about it. Just my own experience over the last year, where I’ve tried buying and playing a couple of games and had difficulty getting them working, tried different Proton versions etc. But maybe I should be trying the window versions? My question was just innocent curiosity, but looking at my downvoters I’ve obviously touched a nerve!

Was it straightforward? What kind of question is that? You click the install button in Steam to set it up. Then you click play when it’s done.

I’m not very experienced with Linux gaming, and the last game I tried (xcom) crashed consistently, and reading forums people were suggesting using certain Proton versions and other stuff. I eventually gave up. I also got uncharted:LOT refunded because I couldn’t get it working in Linux. So if it’s “click install and click play” the great! It is straightfoward.
