SOTTR can now run in proton-experimental (it used to crash due to a missing vulkan feature), but how does it compare to the native version?

Normally I would just use the native version, but got the game from epic, which doesn’t provide the native build. So if I wanted to run native I would have to acquire the game from other sources (keep in mind that I own the game on epic), which is less than ideal. But I wouldn’t do it if there’s no advantage.

    The only “problem” is that it’s not making 60 fps even in the benchmark. Which is fine, it’s a heavy game, but I would be bummed if it was due to proton overhead and not due to my gpu

      Try Proton-GE instead. You might get a couple of FPS more

        I can’t. Proton-experimental specific is required for the game to run without disabling dx12 which will lower performance. With proton-ge the game crashes instantly

          Ah, fair. If it were a Steam license, it would be trivial to switch to the native build. Damn Epic!
