    Not necessarily.

    I’ve had a couple instances where a game would run in Wine but not in Proton or even GE-Proton.

    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.)
