    May I ask, is there a reason you don’t use proton/wine instead of Windows? There’s lots of downsides to windows nowadays

      proton and wine are great but far from perfect.
      i wanted to play a small indie game demo just a few days ago, installed it through proton and it didn’t have audio. ran it through wine and that was even worse. the overhead of a vm is too much for my machine to run games well

        If you tried running it outside steam through wine, you should try again using GloriousEggroll’s wine instead of default.

        Wine isn’t really made for games and (iirc) doesn’t include support for a lot of commonly used graphic/audio api’s, which GE’s version does.

        Or if it is through steam and it still didn’t work correctly, you could try his version of proton. It gets more frequent updates and some other fixes as well.

        Or you really just found a game that doesn’t work under proton, in which case you could open an issue so they can fix it at some point
