In my experience, most games either don’t work at all (very rare), or work 99% as well as on Windows. For instance, I’m playing Hitman WoA right now, and opening the Steam overlay makes the game run in slow motion until I restart it, and it goes in the single-digit FPS if my laptop is charging. Very rarely does a game runs better on Linux than Windows.
Comment on Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average
shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 year agoEvery game I’ve bought this year has ran perfectly in Linux. And I don’t check the Linux status before I buy them. Yolo has paid off

Never encountered this issue you have, by any chance on Linux you are using a old version of proton or nvidia GPU?
SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 1 year ago
I’m on a Intel/nVidia dual-GPU laptop.

Could be crashing on alt tab if PC tries to switch to iGpu for DE?
Sanguine@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Same. I think 80% of my pre existing library already worked and then every game ive bought since the switch runs perfect. I used to check protondb first, now I just yolo and add my report later.

Yeah sounds like you gotta stay on windows…all good

Same here, the only games that don’t work are the ones that’s ship with anti cheats the behave like root kits (I really nasty type of malware).
nutsack@lemmy.world 1 year ago
so all multiplayer games basically
TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
No, 99% of multiplayer games work perfectly fine, the only 2 I know of that have rootkit anti cheats are rainbow 6 siege and Valerant

I’m curious about this number, where does it come from? Certainly not here
