To be honest, the fact that they seemingly didn't want to test that before making that insane announcement makes me wonder just how little they thought the whole thing through. It was one of the very first things I thought of.
Reading that issue it seems a little more nuanced than that?
Yeah, I saw that apparently some games work at 144 FPS despite it, just not any of the ones I tried. Still, valve needs to provide a command line option to disable the Proton Fullscreen Hack, that would pretty much solve the issue. If a game refuses to go past 60 FPS with the hack, I'll just disable it for that particular game. Having to straight up build Protin by myself, tho? Naaah...
No, there really isn't. I'm a dual monitor user, and my second monitor is 60hz. I can drag a window around across the monitors, and straddle it across them and move it up and down, and there is no difference that I can perceive. But Ubuntu's Gnome desktop is stuttery garbage at all times, so I don't think it's a good test. Games are MUCH smoother than Ubuntu's desktop, even at 60hz.
Valve will lift a finger by dropping Ubuntu support. It's the distro's job to provide system libraries, if Ubuntu doesn't want to support wine/etc by doing that, they're essentially just taking the BSD route. It's their business, if they want to abandon desktop users that's fine. But that's what dropping multiarch means.
Why shitpost? Valve already released a 64-bit client on MacOS, they're very likely working on a Linux and Windows one as we speak, and yes, they are probably very worried about, dunno, 70% of Steam's library breaking? Including Valve's own games unless they've been updated and I missed it.
Wine needs 32 bit Linux libraries in order to run 32 bit Windows games. If you think 32 bit games are 1997 stuff then you don't really know what you're talking about. Most games from the PS3 / 360 era were 32 bit only.
From a Canonical dev:
I have no idea. I'm not a programmer. The fact it that that's how it works. You need multiarch to use 32 bit Window programs under Wine / Proton.
...you know I mean PC games released during the PS3 / 360 era. And that includes Linux versions of these games, for the most part.
I'd say the main problem with your understanding of this stuff is that your understanding is nonexistent? I'm not sure what your background is, but at least on this page you're trying to speak with authority on a subject you are very clearly clueless on. Please stop? (or learn and come back?)
Winetricks dotnet40 worked for me. Seems to have regressed to how it was in 3.16, I even had to click the window to make the game start.
Problem is the version that worked with Fight n Rage is 4.2-6 which is superseded by 4.2-9 in the selection menu.
That's why it's annoying me, it doesn't even launch after doing that. I've had to manually kill the process for each workaround I've tried.
Have you tried deleting the Proton prefix in the compatdata folder and generating a fresh one?
Yeah, I went through the old steps that used to work prior the the previous wine-mono update.It just refused to work. I just went and set the proton version to 3.16 branch and did the old steps and it worked, so I'll hold it there util a newer revision fixes it again.
