Wouldnāt an emulator of either the snes or Playstation version work better than the PC port? š¤
Does the newer remaster even have anything worthwhile? I personally do not like the UI compared to the OG.
And the OG SNES version has the best English translation. A hill I would gladly die on š¤

SNES in my opinion is the superior version. and having access to better saves is also appreciated cause some fights can get long.
Iām kinda curious what the technical differences are.
I usually play the PS1 version just for the cutscenes because I donāt notice any real differences that affect the gameplay. š¤·āāļø
I admit I tend to avoid ps1 emulation because it tends to lookā¦ tilted kinda? like the polygons seem to always be out of whack.
but maybe its a bit smoother if it doesnāt have to generate any 3d images or textures. I have not played the ps1 version so I am not entirely sure if it suffers from that or not.
That tilted look is due to the PS1 graphics hardware lacking perspective correction for projected textures. It gave its games a very distinctive look.
Well itās a 2D game so the PS1ās quirks of 3D rendering donāt even apply.
I know what you mean, tho. That unique look PS1 has because it didnāt use floating point integers for the vertices, so whenever the camera moves, the models look like they are shifting/wiggling as vertices jump from point to point in the most unsmooth manner possible?
yes thatās what I mean! interesting that it works that way. also its good to hear it runs well on ps1.
Even if this is the worst way to play it, itās still worth them fixing whatever the issue was. Itās not like itās exclusive to that game. Whatever it was doing that wasnāt working as intended likely effects other games too. It was an issue with how Proton translated it, and the fix should apply to any other similar usage of whatever graphics library it was using.
I wouldnāt play the PS1 port, because of the long
losingloading times.I agree with that article though, that the best version to play is the DS port. The Steam release is okay, itās simply the easiest to buy nowadays.
By now you can safely assume that all games work with Linux. The very few exceptions that donāt are those games that explicitly block Linux gamers.

There are anti-cheat games that do work, the ones that donāt are only because the developers choose it.

GRIS crashes on Proton in my experience. š©
check out ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/683320
Yeah I have been there to troubleshoot but no matter which one I try it crashes immediately or after a few minutes of gameplay.
I am running Flatpak Steam, using Niri, streaming to a Steam Link. Might have something to do with it. I havenāt yet tried local gameplay. Other games stream fine with the same setup though.
Space Marine 2 is the only reason Iām still booting on Windowsā¦
Works flawlessly on my steam deck and manjaro desktop
Skyrim still does not work. Try pulling up the virtual keyboard on the Steam Deck while in the game.
when you open skyrim, go to the mods section, hit left bumper when there to open the search. it will bring up the virtual keyboard.
now just simply exit the menu and start the game. and the keyboard will work without crashing the game.
its a workaround, but Iām used to doing it whenever I load up skyrim.
enjoy! <3
Iāve already tried that, it does not work. Appreciate your help however.
Thatās a steam deck issue, not a Linux issue though. Skyrim works on Linux
You are incorrect: Steam Deck runs Steam OS, which is an Arch linux flavor.
The virtual keyboard isnāt used while gaming in regular desktop Linux. That is a steam issue, specifically a steamdeck issue since a regular desktop would use the physical keyboard to type in Skyrim.
I know about the OS the deck is running and that itās an arch form, but itās not a Linux issue, itās a steam deck issue since non steamdeck desktop Linux pcs donāt have that issue because they use a physical keyboard.
What you are saying is like me saying that the inability to read Chinese is a human issue because I canāt read it and in human. Naaah.
That doesnāt make it a Linux issue. Itās an issue with some component that is in a Linux distribution, but it probably has nothing to do with the Linux operating system. It sounds like itās specifically some component of the Deck at fault, not a part of Linux.
Sounds more like a skill issue
Thatās like pointing at an Android-based smart fridge, saying it doesnāt run Skyrim, and saying itās a Linux issue, because android is based on Linux.
If you want to play the semantics game, Android does not run a Linux kernel and is only based on it.
Nice try.
A patched and modified Linux kernel is still a Linux kernel
Try pulling up the virtual keyboard in Windows while playing Skyrim. Iād be surprised if the results were helpful.
What happens when you do that? And does doing that on windows work? Because it sounds like an incompatibility between the steam virtual keyboard and Skyrim.
Why are you bringing up Windows when we are talking about Proton?
Because you brought up a non-proton related issue. Itās highly unlikely this is proton related, this is an issue on how the steam virtual keyboard and Skyrim interact, and since the keyboard doesnāt cause issues on any other game I think itās very likely the culprit is Skyrim, and if thatās the case I want to know if the issue also happens on Windows.
Is it possible that the issue is within proton? Yes, but the problem you presented can be in multiple other places that proton canāt touch. For example if the game crashes on windows too then proton is working correctly, and even if it doesnāt it can still be something else besides proton, e.g. steam closing the keyboard in a different manner, Skyrim has had a famous bug where it crashes when you alt+tab away from it and come back on Windows for a long time, and opening a virtual keyboard on top of the game and going back is essentially alt+tabing, so I wouldnāt be surprised to find out that this is the same bug in Skyrim showing up with a different face.
PS: out of curiosity I went and loaded my old prisoner save, and named the character which is how many people reported the bug and it just worked, so even if this used to be an issue, doesnāt seem like it is anymore.
Thereās gotta be a nexus mod that handles the issue.
The game is fifteen years old . A third-party mod fixing this issue instead of Bethesda tracks so hard.
Pretty sure the latest update with a load of paid mod bs is what caused the bug lol
It worked for me, but then again I donāt use a virtual keyboard.
I play nodded akyrim just fine with linux
call of duty is now removed from changelog
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog/_compare/e4e94568ea5df017a116a0947713e100eab5635b
When I read Call of duty cold war, I thought it was a typo, pretty sure the call of dutyās post mw2019 run a rootkit anticheat that also happens to disable the games on linux in general. Maybe thereās a workaround now and Activision lost it?

I wouldnāt call it workingā¦ And itās only older titles. Newer ones also donāt. Thank you anti cheat for preventing us from playing shit games
Sooo whatās Warframe like on Proton/Linux then?
Itās run flawlessly for years. The devs are very supportive of Wine/Proton users, theyāve release bug fixes specifically aimed at Linux users before
Also, the GloriousEggroll person who is behind Proton GE, started his work by fixing Warframe under Wine and testing/reporting issues. Coincidentially, this version of Proton fixes Thai language rendering, and he is half-thai.
It actually runs better on my dual boot with Linux Bazzite, than Win11.
Flawless. As someone whoās played Warframe for āonly a few hoursā I can say I havenāt found any issues on Linux.
Thereās a PC version of Chrono Trigger? Huh, I guess I missed that news.
I heard it wasnāt very good. Just a port of the mobile version with a lot of serious flaws. Better to emulate the SNES version.
It got patched up, itās decent enough nowadays
I havenāt come across any serious issues. Although, Iām not a hard-core retro-supremacist.
