Awsome !

No, Linus hasn't mainlined the "go faster stripe" code yet, It's apparently stuck in legal due to The Flash complaining

And to Linux!
A great game and I will surely jump in again, as there is so much left to do in my universe.

I just don't seem to be able to get into it like I did with X3:reunion

No clue why as X3 had me hooked for possibly 1000s of hours

Native FTW !
Native games break even more often or lag way behind their Windows counterparts or don't have cross-play.

No thanks.

Proton may not be perfect but it caused way less headaches at least in my experience, and saved me a ton of time (which I was able to spend playing instead of fixing)

As said in a earlier post, I've had the exact opposite experience.

It's not a WINE/Proton problem, it's a Valve problem.

Was it valve that has patched Apex ?

Am guessing not, so how is it valves fault/problem ? It's a problem now as it's allegedly deck verified.

About 90% of Linux native games are an abandoned buggy mess that work far better if you force them to play through Proton.

Luckily not had that issue, I have had not updated to coincide with the windows version.

Thats down to the steam machines falling on it's arse so most companies gave up on Linux. I was hoping that may change with the deck but it will depend on how well it sells ect.

Native games aren't invulnerable to breaking, I've written my fair share of articles on exactly that.

Extremely less prone though unlike windows games played through Proton

It's a real shame that Valve didn't do what the vast majority of hardware manufactures did when asking for a linux drivers!
