protonup VS gamemode

For arch based distros it's in the AUR, but I also remember using some script to update it. It might have been protonup from the command line, or some bash script I had.

Adding stuff to the steam directory should not crash your system, wonder if you have some other problems. Anyway protonup is a nice little program to download GE if you are interested.

I compiled and download ProtonUp and I can't get the program to work properly. The exact issue I am facing is described here: https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup/issues/25

ProtonUp is your friend: https://github.com/AUNaseef/protonup

Also, I highly recommend to get Proton GE, it runs even better than the Steam versions of Proton. I’ve installed it using protonup, which makes it super convenient to update!

For proton games, use proton-ge. It's installable manually, but its more convenient to use protonup and come back when it's done. For non-proton games, the proton-ge dev makes wine-ge, which you can use as a wineprefix that has patches preinstalled for a bunch of games.

Found the updater protonUP, but I’m not a huge fan of pip so idk if I’ll mess with it

Yup, it’s just a problem with steam not being able to ship Microsoft’s video format in their version of proton. It is very easy to install proton GE with protonup

According to the GitHub page:

A performance optimiser, GameMode by Feral Interactive. It’s not required for anything to launch (unless maybe you’ve configured something to run via gamemoderun and GameMode isn’t actually installed on your system!)

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. Just create a file called gamemode.ini in $HOME/.config/, and copy inside this.

Thinking about running "gamemode" https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.

oh, you're referring to gamemoderun.

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Here's a link, looks like they are indeed working on it: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/pull/416

Didn't include your OS but if you are on Ubuntu people reported before missing some 32-bit libraries as seen here https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/254
