  • Have you checked ProtonDB? https://www.protondb.com/app/2623190 It’s okay if you haven’t, less people than I’d expect know about it.

    I see this here from a month ago:

    Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Changed configuration
    Issue
    
    After the update from 1.1 to 1.2, the game would crash with Unreal Engine 5 errors after the initial shader cache loading.
    
        LowLevelFatalError -- Bad export index … WBP_Modern_CharacterCreation_EditableText_C
    
    Happens after Bethesda’s update due to mismatched Unreal 5 caches and corrupted .pak files left behind by Steam in the shader caches and games compatdata directory.
    Fix
    
        Uninstalled the game.
        Remove all leftover files
        Reinstall game
    
    rm -rf ~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/2623190
    rm -rf ~/.steam/root/steamapps/shadercache/2623190
    rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2623190
    rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/"Oblivion Remastered"
    rm -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/2623190
    rm -rf ~/.cache/OblivionRemastered ~/.cache/unreal*
    
    Clear out the unreal engine cache
    
    rm -rf ~/.cache/OblivionRemastered
    rm -rf ~/.cache/unreal*
    rm -rf ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache
    
    Graphics:Minor Artifacts
    Performance:Slight Performance Problems
    
    Poorly optmized game. Engine.ini tweaks and performance tweaking is required.
    






  • This is very close I think to critics and movies. Critics will always be hyper critical of movies because, well, it’s your job. You go in and watch movies all day - you’re going to pick up on small details that most average watchers won’t notice and you will be hyper critical of that.

    Similar here, if your job is to play games and review hardware I’m guessing the writer of this thinks more people than not have huge gaming setups, when in reality Valve is right, most have a modest setup. They know they’re not competing with ultra highend, those people are already in the bag. They’re going after the casual people who maybe haven’t updated their PC in 6 years and just want to play some newer games, getting them into the ecosystem. In short, it’s hard to be a critic of a system that wasn’t designed for you in mind. Hell it’s not designed for me either.
