Even brand new ones. On my Windows 10 system, Katamari Reroll wouldn't even launch. Just a black scfeen. In Proton on my xUbuntu desktop, it runs flawlessly.

I tend to expect older games to run better due to Microsoft depreciating older Windows libraries and apis, but a native newly released title was surprising.
- babypuncher 5y agoKatamari Damacy Reroll fails to install a dependency that is fairly common in Windows but not included by default, and gets fulfilled automatically within Proton. So the problem here is less Microsoft's fault and more the developer not doing their due diligence.
- vkazanov 5y agoWell... Games are such a pain to support or port exactly because of the nature of development. For most games post-release life cycle is supershort, i.e. nobody cares about long-term polishing, bug-fixing, proper platform support. This is why Proton/Wine are such a massive undertaking.
