Wife said to me this morning "Running Windows games like that seems unnatural" So of course immediately generated this meme.

Feels like a win to me.

Wait until she hears about the wonderful world of emulators.

Why do I have to click this box? Why isn't the default option. I just want to click on a Windows game and then install. I'm I alone on this?

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You can enable such an option in the settings

[–] Molecular0079@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

There's no way to set it as default completely. You can set it as default for titles that Valve hasn't explicitly overriden, but if Valve decides that a certain game works with Proton 8 or Hotfix, it will automatically install those. I really wish there was a way to force Experimental in all cases.

[–] Dagamant@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

thats what I did. I just check steam deck compatibility before hitting install

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

I would guess to help excuse [compatibility] errors. Make you cognizant of the experimental nature, perhaps head you off before complaining to the developers.

I have a lot of respect for Valve for making Steam have such good Linux compatibility. I still haven't found a game I couldn't run (though I don't play a ton of games).

I actually had to downgrade proton for dragon's dogma recently. Black screen on the 8+ versions.

I had to downgrade it to play anything on my ultrawide, some really weird stuff happening in 9.0 with multiple monitors. It can't detect mouse input on the right 1/3 of my screen. Very glad they let us choose versions
