  • It’s annoying all the articles are focusing on performance versus stock wine here when basically everyone uses Proton or a fork of it anyway, which has had fsync for years now that does similar performance uplift.

    The story here should be that we’re getting fsync level performance with fewer bug and it can be upstreamed to wine. There is no relevant performance uplift for Proton users, but I guess performance gets clicks so that’s the story all the press are going with.









  • It’s not raw framerates that are bad now, developers pushing tech is not a bad thing and has been how gaming has been since it’s invention, aside from the “dark ages” of X360 ports where PC just meant 360 graphics at crazy res and framerates.

    The problem nowadays is games are straight unplayable even at lowered settings or extreme hardware due to shader compilation or streaming stutters. This is just bad programming with no fix aside from an engine rework, and most devs don’t have engine programmers anymore since they just ship UE4/5
