Would be nice if Valve sorted Ghost of Tsushima multiplayer out with Sony. Seems like a proton issue, since there's no word on it being an anticheat issue as far as I'm aware.

It's actually a PSN and PS Overlay issue from my understanding sadly, and I don't see Sony puting in the effort to fix their PS Overlay on Linux anytime soon. 😭

I understand this, but what I was saying is, if it's not hooking into the kernel like an anticheat, what exactly is stopping a fix? Nobody's mentioned what the actual issue is with PSN and PS Overlay, and if it's not hooking into your kernel, surely it is an issue that can be addressed with specific dependency management/fixes on proton's end, right?
