Installing PortProton (Using WINE Proton without STEAM) linux-gaming.ru

PortProton is a project that aims to make it easier for both novice and experienced users to run Windows games on Linux. The project aims to make the process of running games (and other software) as easy as possible, but at the same time provides flexible settings for experienced users.

Attention Official website of the project from September 2022: https://linux-gaming.ru. Any other site is fake!

If you need to install on SteamDeck, follow these instructions… https://linux-gaming.ru/t/ustanovka-portproton-na-steamdeck/49

      Faugus Launcher is a frontend for the umu-launcher

      it does not have the same performance and your fps in games will show it as well as graphics

        umu, if I’m not mistaken, should be adopted in the future by all major gaming software like Lutris

          umu has great potential but is not polished enough for an end user like portproton is at this point in time

          would be like comparing Nvidia with Intel

        What is PortProton doing that could increase performance? At the end of the day, won’t this tool just set up a wineprefix for your game and then launch it using wine/proton, just like other tools of this nature?

          does the same thing the dwarf compressed .sh game starters do

          they do what you said but with very specific instructions, settings, and tweaks you would otherwise have to manually configure

          mpv without a frontend vs using celluloid as a frontend for mpv for example

    I don’t understand, how can you make it easier to run games than pressing start on Steam?

      nonSteam games, pirated games, maybe your setup or you yourself needs different settings for whatever reason, console emulation, and more

      from the above link:

      It is based on Valve’s version of WINE (Proton) and its modifications (Proton GE). It includes a set of scripts combined with wine-proton itself, a Steam Runtime Sniper container with the addition of ported versions of MANGOHUD (displaying useful information in the game window: FPS, FrameTime, CPU, GPU, etc.) and vkBasalt (improving graphics in games, very good in conjunction with FSR, DLSS) + many already configured optimizations for maximum performance.

      One-click automatic installation (on the AUTO-install tab) of popular launchers such as: WGC, Epic Games, BattleNET, Origin, EVE Online, RockStar, Ubisoft connect, League of Legends and many others has been implemented.

      For console game lovers, there are many console emulators available (under the EMULATORS tab): PPSSPP, Citra, Cemu, ePSXe, MAME and many more…

      because English users and all other language users use it as well to play games

      Cyberpunk 2077 is what am currently playing using this launcher because it is the only one that works and allows all the settings we prefer such as raytracing on top of good consistent fps

      if you notice my other post on here was AdaptiveCPP which is also what use with portproton to get good fps

      talking Cyberpunk with raytracing and medium settings on 1080p with an Intel arc A750 8GB 70+/- fps

      Linux Gaming works but only with a big toolbox packed with good tools

      most modern browsers should have a translate button readily available

          there is a translate button built into modern browsers

          and since startwine has not been cutting it lately portproton has been the only option

          yes English developed options exist but are not on par such as Faugus Launcher or the Heroic Games Launcher

          our computer repair shop has tested all the available game launchers for Linux on modern games

            A software with zero support because the developers and the community speak only Russian. Thanks you, but no. If you want to go international, use English.

              Google Translate app available for phones allows anyone to read any language with your camera and along with modern browsers being able to translate virtually any language the world is getting even smaller and innovations larger than life

                You should also install an app that would add periods and commas, because reading your texts is quite painful.
