[question] Shadow of the tomb raider, native or proton-experimental (feddit.it)

SOTTR can now run in proton-experimental (it used to crash due to a missing vulkan feature), but how does it compare to the native version?

Normally I would just use the native version, but got the game from epic, which doesn't provide the native build. So if I wanted to run native I would have to acquire the game from other sources (keep in mind that I own the game on epic), which is less than ideal. But I wouldn't do it if there's no advantage.

Not sure about Shadow but for the older games I prefer the Windows version. It looks better, runs better and is less buggy. A shame really. I explicitly bought those games when they got Linux support. But nowadays the Windows version is far superior.

Haven't watched it yet, but I think this video covers that. https://youtu.be/TjbDyrRZX0o
