These articles are very misleading because Proton is already patched to include fsync (I think it’s fsync). So basically there won’t be any performance improvement for most games under 99.999% of setups. Still a good thing that this is merged because it means the regular wine outside of proton will now be on par with proton
I think there are situations that fsync does not cover very efficiently, to the point that it can cause timing issues that lead to some bugs / incompatibilities. I wouldn’t be so sure about that low of a % gain, it would be interesting to see benchmarks of fsync vs ntsync.
Of course, but the articles make it seem like it will 6x the performance in some games when in reality it won’t because the performance gain is already factored in upstream proton
