[question] shadow of the tomb raider, native or proton-experimental (feddit.it)

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.

AFAIK Ferals ports just use a different translation Layer.
And all of the Tomb Raider games should run better through proton.

There's a native linux version? From a major publisher? 😮 Damn, wasn't expecting that.

Runs fine on Proton for me.

Check if your machine can run it at a good framerate, if it does, then there's no reason to bother acquiring it elsewhere, right?

I would just use Proton at this point. I haven't tried Shadow on Proton, but for Rise it worked a lot better than on native unfortunately.
