I fail to see why the most played EAC titles on Steam would not jump on the opportunity to easily support more platforms now.
I mean the potential return on investment is clearly in their favour now.

I can't wait to see a video of this game running on the Steam Deck :)

A look at the top 100 Steam games on Linux - January 2022 edition

I can see things improving on my side.
I have some games that were not correctly supported by Proton (Grid 2 for example) and they are now working perfectly with the latest Proton Experimental release.
I'm also confident we will have another compatibility boost this year thanks to the Steam Deck (mine is still listed at Q1, I can't wait to order it).

looks like the game isn't anything too great compared to Prey though.
Cool for the nvidia workaround :)
I've seen some excellent reviews for the game.
Prey was an immersive sim, Death Loop is a totally different type of game.

We will probably have to wait for a driver update with Nvidia I guess...

A bit too shady for me to test it now.
I'll wait until it's properly open-sourced.

Having VR issues on Linux? You should look to disable async reprojection

I had big hopes for async reprojection that could finally fix the choppy head rotation I experience in No Man Sky VR...
It seems I'll still have to wait for another fix :/

Didn't last long: Back 4 Blood no longer working on Linux with Proton

I knew it, because it was running with ProtonGE without any official announcement, it was certain that EAC check was deactivated server side for Linux users.

Looks like the fresh Back 4 Blood Beta is working on Linux with Proton GE

I tried the free open beta actually available and while it launches without issue, it's completely unplayable for me.
Each time I start a game I get disconnected after a few seconds/minutes.
