Elite Dangerous. Technically any seating experience VR should work somewhat well.
It has a platinum rating on ProtonDB and is Steam Deck verified. I can't imagine the Deck itself being powerful enough for VR though?
Ooh, yes, forgot about Elite! Thanks!
Alien Isolation itself runs fantastic on Linux. It's Linux native and also runs great on Proton. But the VR version comes from a mod called MotherVR. Trouble is that this mod works by overwriting a DirectX dll. The same dll that Proton needs to overwrite so that Direct3D calls are translated to Vulcan for Linux. And the mod owner vanished about 4 years ago or so, shortly after they announced they wanted to open source the mod. So unless someone wants to replicate their whole work we can't figure out how to make it work in Proton or natively on Linux.
Can you load the dll with Protontricks maybe?
The problem isn't loading the dll. It's loading just fine. The problem is that DXVK needs to overwrite the same dll. So it doesn't work.
