Valve updates the Steam Linux Container Runtime for Proton 5.13, helps tools like MangoHud

Quoting: NoStI can confirm that MangoHud works after adding PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO="/home/your_user_name/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf" mangohud %command to the launch options.
Be sure to double check the path to MangoHud configuration file.
I haven't tried vkBasalt yet, but I hope it works too.

could it be, that mangohud doesnt work for all games?
for me

You shouldn't. Going to the home page, it shows me a clear link that can get you right into Super Bomberman R Online and it says "No Stadia Pro Membership or Credit Card Required".

or have they fixed any linux bugs?

Given they state of their Vulkan version on my RX5700 a few days ago and what I got yesterday was day and night. I assume their Vulkan version got a ton of updates. I got "pretty much unplayable" before and "a flawless experience" (seriously) yesterday. However, with todays 2.1.0.27 (or 28) where "the work of the Vulkan render on the Linux version of the game has been improved." they introduced smoke rendered in opaque black... Since this has been widely reported I expect a fix soonish.

guess you are lucky. a lot of ppl report, that the launcher crashes, the game wont start and the well known black screen
i think i wait till i see a changelog, that fixes these problems

do developers see which client is requesting?

for example: they were looking for desperados 3 linux testers. in the future you can apply with playtest and developers see which client we are using and only accept linux clients
