protonfixes VS steam-for-linux

Have you tried to: * update ProtonGE (I use version 7-49 but I see 7-50 was released yesterday) * remove the file /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton7-49/protonfixes/gamefixes/1097150.py (source here)

"wmp9_ge" and "klite" custom winetricks verbs, you can download them from here

Fixes should land in GE-Proton7-34: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/protonfixes/pull/94

^ And Proton-GE, if you use it, will automatically fetch packages it knows that you need. This isn't all that common though.

I suppose save game detection and folder merging could be done on a per-game basis with something like protonfixes.

It has a script with known fixes for each game e.g persona 4 script is here

There are kinda two levels of "game fixes". There are out-of-tree patches to Wine that were made to fix specific games but are not yet sufficiently tested or might present some other problems that prevent them from being included in upstream Wine yet. These are included in wine-ge, yes. Then there are "protonfixes", these are specific to Steam. They are Python scripts that run before the game is started to install dependencies or make other changes to the prefix that are required to run that specific game. Since they use Steam codes to reference the games, they can't work outside of Steam, so these are not in wine-ge. If you use Lutris to install games, then Lutris has install scripts that can do the same job, so it generally cover for it.

Anyone else noticing this? I don't believe I'm going insane. For a while now my download speeds, regardless of chosen server, are always slower in the Linux client compared to in Windows. Is the only appropriate place to post about this here -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Steam-for-Linux ? Would be great to know that I'm not the only one being affected.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues Its seems to be a problem happening only to Nvidia GPUs. Not only Mint but many other distros A temporary solution is to open Steam from the Terminal using "steam -vgui"

I just spent a few hours working on that problem that Steam takes very long to appear. I did not have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed, and Steam is the only application that has that problem, so it's not the one from the update forum post. What my (and probably your) problem is, is this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9780. Some bug where CEF gets stuck in a loop. When I executed steam --reset an error about steamwebhelper and glibc appeared like 50 times, each taking a few seconds.

Hey I had the same issue - are you running this on Linux? On my arch machine I had this problem and was able to resolve it via the advice in this thread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9640
