How does MO2 work in proton? Is it one proton runtime that runs MO2 which then somehow launches another proton runtime to run the game? I can’t picture how it could be done
i run MO2 through Proton (also you should install protontricks if you don’t have it. it helps with additional wine dependencies that may be needed)
then I use MO2 to launch SKSE modded version of the skyrim SE launcher.
Vanilla skyrim runs perfectly with proton kinda on its own, so MO2 doesn’t really have to do anything except make sure all the plugins get loaded in the proper order.
MO2 is quite nice, actually. i use it to run the normal Bethesda skyrim.exe if I want to configure my base game settings (graphics etc) but then just exit and swap back to the SKSE launcher from MO2 and we’re golden.
I also find that CreationKit seems to play a lot more nicely when launched through MO2 than if I add it to steam and try to manually run it myself with Proton (CreationKit sucks to run, however and you’ll have to get used to crashes and losing all progress so I would only recommend using it for very small tweaks.)
but yeah! runs just fine in proton. you really only need MO2 to initially launch skse for you. then it just kinda chills while you’re playing. but the software is good (though I will say there was a bit of a learning curve in my case as I am a Vortex refugee 😅)
I’ve tried several lists over the years. The now defunct Thuldor’s Skyrim, and my current Tempus Maledictum list, both experienced the same issue. They get installed and run just fine, but i’m about 60% of the fps short, compared to Windows. I suspect it’s because of the vram overhead, and io bottlenecks in wine
There are some lists that are designed specifically to run with Proton and/or on the Deck, claiming solid 40-60 fps on the Deck, so i’d take a look at what’s available in Wabbajack. In my case, i’ve definitely expected more framerate, but i can’t really complain here, because this list is really heavy in most aspects. 100% worth playing though

i don’t run 200, but I run 58. i play on a steam deck and I use MO2 as my mod manager of choice!
runs just fine. i only get dropped fps in some dwemer ruins, but honestly? that might not be the modlist, that could be stock skyrim. lol.

Interesting, sounds easier than I thought! Thanks!
200 gigs… ? what. the. fuck.

I’m in the process of doing that rn, probably not 200gigs but just enough to feel different from vanilla

I’ve noticed stuttering issues in modded Empire War, but I also run heavily modded Stalker just fine with 60-70 FPS. Wine is a fickle beast.
