I just learned that PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 to enable DLSS got changed to PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1 in Proton 9.0 (including Proton Experimental). Just in case this helps someone in the future.
On another note: Feel free to let me know if you’ve got a good way to keep up with necessary/useful launch options. I’ve simply been having a look at what people use on ProtonDB. But I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of the posts there use outdated or simply false launch options.
I think I’ve read somewhere that FSR3 has trouble when there is a too low base of “real” frames it has to work with. So don’t expect it to do miracles in every scenario.
I too hope we can use it on Linux soon. Take note of this comment on the Proton Github page refering to a hack this person wrote: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7361
Hopefully something like this can be included in a future version of Wine/Proton/Proton-GE. Proton-GE doesn’t have an issue page. I think one would have to reach out via Discord. I don’t use Discord though.
Didn’t have any Problems playing (the one round that I did play). If one has played Tribes before one will feel right at home. Pretty sure they switched the default keybindings up a bit. Shift for sliding and Space for the jetpack.
Woooo!! Just played my first round. I have such fond memories of Tribes Ascent.
Here is hoping it stays this way and they keep allowing Linux players.
Just to be sure. Are the options “Enable Steam Play for supported titles” and “Enable Steam Play for all other titles” in Steam Settings >> Compatibility both set?
First and only thing that came to mind. Maybe somebody has more ideas.
Edit: Whoa, seems I was late to the party.
And apparently the plan is to have explicit sync ready for the next major driver version (v555).
From the discussions on Github and Gitlab it seems the work for that to happen is done. The changes in the necessary packages (Xwayland, Mesa?) just need to be merged and the the Nvidia driver 555 needs to be released. It hasn’t been that long since the previous release 550. So I guess it is going to take a bit of waiting still.
