    What games are you trying? Off the top of my head, I've played monster hunter world, hunt showdown, cyberpunk 2077, baldur's gate 3, norman reedus and the funky fetus, elden ring, deep rock galactic, doom (the new ones), apex, the dark souls games, warframe, and a few more over the years.

    Im mostly emulating now cause of how bad it is but out if the top if my head.

    C2077 ran like a slog at best, if it even started, so I never bothered again.

    Warcraft 3 doesnt work.

    Anno 1404 worked once than never again.

    Plenty of indie games never start.

    Protondb is pretty useless to me personally , none of their tweaks ever worked for anno 1404.

    Anything with Anti-cheat seems to be a lot of work. Granted I only tried Fall Guys and Fortnite. But both of them take forever just to login.

    I havent played a multiplayer game for more than an hour in years, but I especially avoid trends like fall guys and fortnite, so it isnt anticheat or anything.

    Can't speak about the rest but

    C2077 ran like a slog at best, if it even started, so I never bothered again.

    Works fine on my 3070. Actually worked on release too. I'm on medium-high graphics 60fps in 4k.

    I have a 1660 super, its a prebuilt.

    Good that you can run it well, but some people cant just splurge on an overvalued and overpriced card so an unoptimized game may run reasonably well.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Okay but with a 1660 super even on Windows that game won't run too well. I know its above minimum reqs but that card is old. Even my 2080 TI is starting to show some age with framerates and what.

    [–] Mandy 2 points 10 months ago

    just because its not a sparkly shiny new card doesnt mean a miserable performance (for me) compared to the windows counterpart should be acceptable.

    If id switch to windows right now i could still play c2077 in a perfectly playable state, if i where inclined to do so.

    ITT: People getting mad for saying a 3 generations, 4 year old low end gpu is the issue

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I mean, then it's not really linux, is it?

    As for the card, I bought it before it became apparent how overpriced it was, and it was a major upgrade from my second hand 970 anyway. And I didn't splurge, I saved and bought what I thought made sense for me, when I could've 'splurged' on a 3080.

    [–] Mandy -1 points 10 months ago

    on windows it would still be very much perfectly playable, on linux? it was a slideshow

    Is Anno 1404 installed through Lutris?

    [–] Mandy 1 points 10 months ago

    As far as I can tell it only points to steam, but i tried it on several occcasions, didnt yield any better results.

    The version of anno I used also didnt make a difference, from og to history edition, it was all the same.
