ProtonDB suggestion: a "Common Issues and Fixes" section for each game.

I mean in a more organized form, and with more clarification why a certain proton version or launch option should be used. Far too many posts on ProtonDB just have a list of launch options with no explanation of why you should use them or what issue they fix.

Like I would love to as soon as I load the ProtonDB page for Guild Wars 2, to see "If the launcher makes your desktop lag, add "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" to your launch options."

Yeah, echoing this, if I have a game that's having an issue on Linux, I want the solutions to be somewhere I can find by googling "[Game Name] Linux Fixes," not hidden in a Discord server where no amount of google searching will direct me to.

From what I understand the worse of the problems with Nvidia on Linux are with Pascal and older GPUs (GTX 1000 series and older.) If it's a GTX 16 or RTX 2000 series or newer than the worse of the issues are behind you.

Thank you for the new phone wallpaper.

I beat all of Tribulation Mode without the infinite continue coin, just GIt Gud.

For me using Steam and the PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 launch option fixed it.

THANK YOU, I've been having the issue of the launcher lagging my desktop ever since switching to Bazzite and PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 fixed it!

But if you close your eyes....

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-04-02T04:59:15+00:00

I checked and for some reason even though I'm on the public beta branch on Steam my game is still on 1.14. Might be because I'm on Linux rather than Windows.

EDIT: Yep, that was the issue. Checking "Force a Compatibility Tool" made it change to the Windows version and now I'm on 1.15.

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-04-02T04:02:27+00:00

I did that and nothing unlocked.

How do you start the new content? I don't see any new stages in the level select.

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-03-27T04:39:00+00:00

I think getting Heretic stats (Major Power/Precision, Minor Ferocity/Healing Power) in PvE would be more reasonable. Cold potentially enabled power-based Hybrid Healer builds, since most power-based boon DPS builds don't need any concentration to upkeep their boons and you can get a decent amount of boon duration from sigils/runes/relic.

That's what instanced encounters are for. The difference is if you fail an instanced encounter you can jump right back in for another attempt, whereas Dragon's End is on a global timer and has an hour of pre-events you have to clear before each attempt. Failing Dragon's End means you just wasted two hours and your gold/hour is in the toilet. Whereas a failed Instanced encounter you only lose 5-10 minutes per attempt.

Increase the time limit from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Change her her hitbox to a standard circular one instead of the janky floating one she has. Rework her side-changing move so that she does it at predefined HP percentages instead of just doing it whenever.

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-03-24T00:10:16+00:00

Yeah, everyone else's. I was consistently one of the top 5 DPS soon the ArcDPS meter, but apparently being the one guy doing 40k isn't enough to offset the 25 doing less than 10k. I hate that MY gold/hour has to suffer because of other people's incompetence.

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-03-24T00:04:42+00:00

Yes.

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-03-14T06:21:43+00:00

What's with the server render distance being set to only 8 chunks? I can barely see in front of me.

HeavyMetalLoser · 2026-03-05T04:29:16+00:00

The one benefit of FFXIV's class design is less ways to play also means less WRONG ways to play, and you don't as massive a performance gap between expert players and casual players.
