Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense. I'm surprised to learn that an MMO allows mods at all.

Also, that means I can take ESO off my list of games to potentially buy in the future. I'm one of those people who is willing to either
a)Pay for a proprietary game, OR
b)Use fan-made third-party mods,
but not both. So while I will happily use mods in Minetest, a paid proprietary MMO that needs mods to have a decent UI is probably not for me.

Don't worry, the game isn't borderline unplayable without mods at all, it's just a personal preference.
I've been playing ESO for a long time, without any mods, I don't have any issues.

The game runs great on the Deck too, binding grip buttons for weapon set swapping etc makes the experience better (for me) than on consoles, where the weapon swap is done with the dpad, forcing your hands off the analog sticks.

Quoting: CybolicFor those interested, it works very well on the Steam Deck at a locked 40FPS with SSR turned off (it's very distracting on anyway).

You must have a different Deck then, for me the game is near unplayable with the framerate going anywhere between 20 and 40 (SSR turned off, reflections off, textures medium, glitch effect turned off)

Supporting GOL? now who would do such a thing ?

Quoting: mahagrFor me 30 FPS in a Steam Deck bothers me a lot less than I thought. That and 800p resolution. I would never play anything under ~55 FPS in a large screen, but in a small screen I hardly notice the low frame rate.

That said, I do not play any FPS nor multi-player, so...

This. I hate playing anything under 60 fps on my main system with a 34" ultra wide screen, but 30fps on the Deck is actually fine for games like Red Dead Redemption 2 for me. It doesn't feel laggy at all.

Quoting: Wernerhmm weird, according to this video it seem to work

Yeah, something funky is going on there, as comparing the video shows the quality doesn't match, at all.
(right video is GOL)

Quoting: AussieEeveeBut threatening a ban on players that manage to get the game running under proton is just scummy, Bungie and that makes you one of the scummiest companies in the industry.

They're not. They threaten people that disable the anti cheat with a ban.
Because let's be honest here, the main reason to disable anti cheat... is to cheat

I don't think a company is scummy when they don't support a 1 or 2% market share, their focus and support is simply on other platforms. Like it or not, our market share is just too small for them to actually care (this doesn't make them anti Linux either, they just don't care)

Quoting: BielFPsAt least we can somehow play the game on linux and hope that they don't put any kind of anticheat latter.

In a single player game that also has 4 player co-op, that would be highly unlikely.

The game runs great for me, I'm 6 hours in and haven't had a single crash or even a bug.

Quoting: hercI'm running an AMD card with Mesa and the character selection screen is missing all the textures from what I can tell. In-game everything seems to work perfectly though :)

Quoting: nepo

Quoting: Liam DaweAll ProtonDB reports are from before this Proton Experimental update. As the article states, it worked fine on NVIDIA here.

Good to know, thank you! Anyway, if you don't own a time machine you can't have played really long . Would be great to know if this run *really* flawlessly, without crashes and with stable multiplayer. If this is *really* the case I could maybe justify the (heavy!) price tag.

The fix I posted above has been working for me since the 1st of November, so a good 10 days, I played the game a lot with friends online, no time machine required ;) just a custom DLL that "fixed" the wrong rendering issue.

I think no manual labor is needed anymore with proton-experimental now, so it should be "all good"

EDIT: As Liam mentioned, no extra fix needed, just proton-experimental.

It used to require proton-experimental [bleeding-edge] and a fix to prevent crashing in multiplayer and tutorials.

I don't know if that's needed anymore, but for me the game has run stable for quite some hours now, playing multiplayer matches and playing single player. No need to wait really.
