Which bit?

For CS2, especially around launch, this was advice fed to me multiple times on places like the linux gaming subreddit. And then also through my own experience of trying it out and comparing.

Black Mesa, this was also just known within the Half Life and Linux gaming communities. Plus if you tried playing the native you would start to hit your first set of visual bugs within the first 5mins, switching to Proton solved basically every issue lol.

And just to add on to this, CS2 has been shown to perform better under Proton than running it natively.

And yes I know before anyone points it out that VAC doesn’t work under Proton, but you can still try it out on a private no VAC server. Or, the way some people were doing it around the time CS2 launched (assuming this still works), installing Steam via Wine and then launching CS2 with Proton worked as well with VAC working.

And another example of using Proton over the native version of a game would be Black Mesa, where it was always advised to run the game with Proton due to less bugs and far better performance.

Thanks! ☺️

Haha that’s awesome!

I would love to do some development for older devices at some stage!

But yeah seeing the Google issues is definitely off-putting, but I’m just going to enjoy a build process for a while first

Lol, well to be fair, I spent probably only around 3-4hrs of effort. And a lot of that was figuring things out for the first time. App stores is going to be another matter entirely haha
