NVIDIA’s DLSS Now Supports Linux Games, Too

DLSS is no longer just Proton It will work for DirectX games as well, not for Vulkan games below. Version 6.3-8 of Proton, the compatibility layer that allows Windows games to be played under Valve’s SteamOS operating system, for DLSS in DX11 and DX12 games official support provides. This is the latest version; Besides better compatibility with anti-cheat software, it also fully supports NVIDIA DLSS.

With broader DirectX support, a lot of games are now available for Linux-powered DLSS processing via Proton as well; however, as there are only a limited number of games that support DLSS, at this stage Linux gamers need to adjust a few parameters, as Gaming on Linux explains. manually needs to be set. It should also be noted that the Steam Deck, which uses the Proton system, can also benefit from this feature.

Proton now also supports BattlEye anti-cheat system

A host of new Proton-compatible other features include Deathloop, Age of Orders IV, and Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy for AMD graphics cards only windows game exists. Moreover, BattlEye anti-cheat system Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and ARK: Survival Evolved also work well with Proton.

BattlEye support is clearly good news, especially for Valve’s Steam Deck. Regarding Proton’s anti-cheat apps that break compatibility with Windows games using these systems serious problems but it seems that this problem is now gone.

The only thing developers need to do for their games to have Proton support is with BattlEye. by contacting specify these requests. Therefore, in addition to the two officially supported games we mentioned, it would not be wrong to say that more games will be compatible soon. However, it seems that Steam Deck will not be able to take advantage of this, as DLSS is a proprietary NVIDIA technology and Valve’s handset uses an AMD chip with an integrated RDNA 2 GPU. On the other hand, the same is not the case for AMD’s FSR.
