Steam copy multiplayer with Proton is a pipe dream.. for now. If you got the Origin copy then have fun with Proton I guess!
Install the Windows version of Steam with its own Wine prifix for ease of deletion, install the game through there, Manual PunkBuster update in the games originthinclient files, Browser user agent switcher.
Muliplayer with Proton on the Steam copy of the game is just not feasible at the moment. You can "run" it with Wine in the way that I have but it moreso walks rather than runs. Filepathing to get to the correct Originthinclient folder can and will take you a lot of time. Sorry that I forgot and deleted games files otherwise I would provide the filepath. EA's Origin could fix multiplayer with Proton by simply allowing for the game to be downloaded through Origin when purchased on Steam so that the Lutris script can start working, or for Dice to go back and add a server browser to the game and ship the latest PunkBuster while they are at it.
Playing Gmod be it either the Native or Windows versions causes me guarenteed memory leakage and crashes when and only when the game is launched with the Steam(Native) package, you are probably totally fine if you use the Steam(Runtime) package to launch Gmod. Thankfully this bizzare happening has not caused Kernel Panic like other games often do on my system.
A typical gamer would need to note that launching Gmod in any of its versions, be them Native Linux or Windows, can cause memory leakage when launched with the Steam(Native) package.
Game hangs at %75 loading screen. "Authorization issue." Non-GNU/Linux users are also having this issue on the Windows operating system.
I believe it is borked for many Windows users too.
%command% --disable-gpu
At times gun firing audio will indefinately dissapear for only me, or everybody from my clientside perspective.
The game may crash on my particular system after an eight hour play session, but no less.
Servers have infamously poor long term maintnance.
Mix of error G12 or as of recent G2, G2 being an "audio driver" related issue.
Every combination of gamemoderun DVXK_FRAME_RATE=60 --disable-gpu WINEDLLOVERRIDES=libglesv2=d %command%. None of this has worked im months without G12 or G2 error.
UserOptions.ini edits like FOV over 74 maximum.
One day this game just up 'n stopped working on me. No matter what configuration I can think about trying!
