protondb-evalute VS wine-ge-custom

Here are some numbers I've extracted from ProtonDB:

About a year ago I've written a custom set of scripts to parse the public data from ProtonDB locally generating visual graphs to see how relative progress is moving. Today I updated the graphs again which I didn't since February and the launch of the Steam Deck made quite an impact in the ratings.

Here is the source for the numbers: https://gitlab.com/TheJackiMonster/protondb-evalute (I wrote a little Python script some time ago. ^^)

From statistics we can actually expect to have similar compatibility across all the Linux distributions. ProtonDB states that from all reported/tested games, about 66% is recommended by at least one to be playable. The amount of playable and verified games (the sum of both) by Valve is also about 66% of their tested games. When you rank all reports on ProtonDB with a sensible metric, you will also get about 66% reported as playable (I have actually written a Python script to do just that).

The number is definitely accurate. I have written a script in the past to evaluate the protondb-data which is publicly available at Github. The script will categorize newer reports into the old categories and provides an overall category from the most given one by all reports to a specific game.

Wine/Proton will definitely improve. We are currently at about 62% (I checked via this tool) compatibility overall. So guessing it will increase to about 70% (even without working anti-cheat) is a good estimate.

The only working fix for this at the moment is using GE-Wine 25 via Lutris.

I have FF14 working with WINE-GE 8-21 on Arch Linux. The only issue seems to be with video playback from ARR. The openings for Heavensward thru Endwalker all play OK.

I am using Lutris-GE-lol-p8-12, Arch Linux, Wayland, and a AMD CPU and GPU (Mesa).

This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11

I installed Chrome using latest Wine-GE, but DRM is an issue now.

Install lutris-GE-Proton8-8 and then just switch to 8-10 after installation. https://github.com/gloriouseggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases (extract it to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine)

Use last lutris-wine or latest Wine GE

I would try GloriousEgroll, I use their version of proton to help with a lot of games, I linked you to their WINE version.

There's one specifcally for Wine, too: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom
