  • I find that native clients are almost always a worse experience than running through Proton. Cursors not hiding or not appearing, inability to adjust certain graphics/display settings, and, rarely, worse performance than through Proton (including not actually managing to init).

    That said, Proton has its own irritating quirks. Try turning off mouse acceleration in Skyrim on Linux for instance. Have to use protontricks to find the appid, then you have to nav to it in any of the locations that it could be found (depending on flatpak, native, etc.), and then you have to sift through the prefix to find the bloody INI that has the setting to toggle.

    But as an indie dev, you should do whatever makes less work for you so you can do more with your time. If supporting native Linux will increase your workload and detract from work on the game itself, then simply don’t support it. Just make sure that your Windows builds work via Proton.





  • “rushed job”

    8 years of development

    I don’t know how CP77 turned out how it did, but it certainly wasn’t due to being rushed. Either way, they managed to fix it although it took like 2 years or something.

    As for you still getting GOG emails… Git gud?? Unsubscribing from a service’s emails is the easiest thing in the world if you take roughly 2 seconds to make sure it’s done properly.
