This VR experience appears to work flawlessly with Padoka PPA and SteamVR + Padoka PPA.

SteamVR direct mode was used with an RX 480.

Hi Tele42, thanks for your time. I would Iike to ask you if you know how to test CS GO Windows version on Steam Play Proton on Linux?

I saw your comments from a couple years ago regarding the “native” Linux version and that it uses ToGL. I really think that the CSGO Windows version on Proton has a chance at beating the “native” Linux version.

Thanks

Hello @lighterpl, looks like this is off-topic and likely to get hidden.

I don't think Proton is the magic bullet you're looking for for a better experience. The big performance win in Proton is directx 11 games running with vulkan via dxvk, but directx 9 games including CS:GO still get translated to OpenGL for the video driver to understand. You're better off trying out the game with Steam for Windows with recent wine / lutris / PlayonLinux / etc.

That said, there is Native2Proton mentioned at https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/9anque/steamplayprotonlutris_cheat_sheet/, but who knows if that'll play nicely with CS:GO. There's a warning for anti-cheat, so it might not be safe.

Ok, so there’s no point trying the Windows version it’s going to have the same effect as native Linux ToGL version.

Will there be directx 9 to vulkan support coming in the future?
