    Although I disagree with some of the points (which have been mentioned in other comments), I do wish Steam had less of a monopoly. That’s not to say I blame Valve, I just think there is a lack of good competitors and people willing to budge. Epic launcher is just a joke. I only use it for the free games, which is why I assume they are giving away the games for free in the first place. Not enough people use GOG. Thankful to Valve for making proton, Linux gaming would be a lot worse than it is if it weren’t for proton. But damn, make a 64 bit client already, I have to use the multilib repo because it is the only 32 bit application on my system XD. EDIT: not to mention the terrible performance on some older systems.




  • From my experience at least, some games are just like this, more often than not when using proton. I don’t really have this issue that often after switching to i3wm. Can you switch to a different workspace? Is your game in fullscreen? It usually works better for me in windowed borderless. The benefit of using i3 is that you can run games in standard windowed mode, and let i3 fullscreen the application, or just switch workspace entirely. Hopefully this helps.


  • So I just started playing this and I can’t say I’ve had this issue, however I only played for a few hours so far. I’m playing on Arch, no DE just i3wm, Nvidia, X11. Another thing I can think of is that I’m using the Zone Reclaimation Project mod, which is a fan-made mod which has a load of bug-fixes. I don’t believe it changes any gameplay, so it is good for a first-time playthrough. I have no idea if this will change anything, but I have been using it so far and haven’t had any problems, so maybe you could try it? Sorry I don’t have a definite solution for you.
