I will try and reinstall lutris but I have been having a lot of issues woth it. do you reccomend the kde store version or native? I’ve been usimg native amd it just doesn’t want to work with epic or gog. Hell I couldn’t get it working with silent hill 2 enhanced edition. (it refused to launch)

EDIT: I am quite the fool and didn’t uncheck “show installed games only” egg on my face

nvidia proprietary drivers and I am getting similar performance on x11 and wayland.

I did not move the symlink and compat data. I did delete the compat data with protontricks and move the game to my ext4 partition (the partition Linux is installed on). Still the same bad performance.

I am using ntfs-3g I will try switching it to ntfs3

Nah I am using a desktop:

3070

Ryzen 7 3700x

16gb of RAM

to move the compatdata and sysmlink do I paste the command as is if steam is installed natively in the default location?

$ mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata $ ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata /media/gamedisk/Steam/steamapps/

this will be my final straw solution. I am gonna try to get the games from stuttering on my ext4 drive (it’s happening there too) then test the ntfs drive with btfrs.

Damn. Well this train will chug along then ;-;

EDIT: just tested and it seems performance just gets worse the longer I play.

EDIT 2: I lied it actually is betyer with another non steam game after playing for a while and restarting.

I am using proton to run them.

I moved the game to my ext4 partition and still the same terrible performance. I just booted them on windows and My assesment was wrong. I am actually getting around 100 fps (windows) and 60fps and below (linux).

I will be updating the post to reflect it accordingly.

does windows support btrfs? I am dualbooting and would like to use the drive between opersting systems.

also i am using proton, does it also not play nice with ntfs?
