It was Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Lol. In Proton (or GE-Proton), the game would run but it wouldn't save games, not even autosaves. But I played it using Wine and it worked totally fine.

My point is it's very rare but it can happen.

Good point.

Ironically .. i've played exactly the same game in Proton on Steamdeck (I'm assuming that's using Proton; i did not check TBH) just few weeks ago and it all worked just fine. Maybe they fixed it in the meantime or it depends...

(But yeah your point stands.)

Yeah this was I think a few months ago so they very well might have fixed that issue. Haha.

There have been plenty of similar techniques (esync and fsync) in Proton for years. That's basically why the work was started to get this into Wine in the first place.

The way I understand it this is proper support in the kernel and Wine. So you will still get some improvement. But it won't be any way nearly as large as the article suggests.

I bet those patches are already in Proton-GE or at least GE is likely already working on adding them. For Valve's Proton I suspect they will be added for version 11 or 12 at the latest.

Basic Windows 95-era GUIs made with standard Windows APIs still look broken.

But, to be fair, how many people are using Win95 apps now?

I imagine people trying to run aged applications through WINE?
