Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon.

What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

    I’m more curious how many are running SteamOS vs Windows to get an idea of how good proton support for titles is.

      It’s been a while since anything failed on Proton. I can’t really see why anyone would jump through the hoops to run Windows on this thing.

        I have stuff on proton fail somewhat frequently (like once every 3-4 weeks) on my desktop, but valve’s doing an amazing job managing updates to make sure the deck’s stable.

      Proton has become astonishingly good.

      Even niche titles either work, or at worst I need to use a specific build of Proton (usually Proton GE for some obscure video formats).

      I also have had good luck using Bottles to run Battle.net for Diablo 3 and 4.

      I don’t play many competitive multiplayer games though, where very aggressive anti-cheat can be a problem.

      The primary games that don’t work (yet) are Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, both by HoYo. There’s some particular quirk of their anti-cheat that causes the games to crash instantly. That said, it’s worth noting that occasionally Genshin Impact has worked for a few weeks, so HoYo seems to be testing a change that might allow it to work consistently eventually.

      I never had an issue running a steam game on SteamOS. Non-steam games and 3rd party launchers like EGS or Ubisoft are a bit hit or miss; e.g. I never managed to get Fall Guys to launch, and Destiny is incompatible because of their anticheat. Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo IV run flawlessly though. Emulation is fine.

      I never really felt the need to install windows, as it would probably bring more issues than solutions.
