Fortunately Proton brings all of these together, and has all of this configuration dealt with for you.Īfter a period of stagnation and not being able to play any games released in the last few years, we're back to the point where brand new AAA games can run with Wine/Proton with solid framerates - I was very surprised to see Monster Hunter World running well in Proton within a few days of release.ĭRM and anti-cheat remains the biggest blocker though. There have been some great projects like DXVK which have made DX11 games playable in Wine, as well as a lot of work going on in different branches and patches of Wine to improve certain functionality. It used to involve a lot of manual fiddling, but in the later days of DX9, the majority of games worked out of the box.ĭX11 is where things went wrong again, and mainline Wine has been quite slow to implement DX10+ features. Wine was already mostly at that point a couple of years ago.
