OPTIMIZING

It's possible that we could compile Proton and up the performance using optimizations. Whether this increases FPS, or shortens the load times, or speeds up anything within the game I don't know and therefore this is all for educational purposes only.

DEPENDENCIES

You will need a distro that has updated libraries. I'm using Xubuntu 24.10. GCC should be version 14.1 or newer. I'm using CLANG 19.x. There's a very good chance that you will need a newer version of Docker, which can be found here with the instructions to install:

The Valve Proton project page doesn't really tell you explicitly which dependencies you will need so you will need to be able to check the logs and to log the build output. You can log the output like this and then check the file called output.log:

make redist > output.log 2>&1

Whatever you see might be missing in the output.log is what you can install to fulfill the requirements. For example, if it seems to be missing libvulkan then you'll search the repositories for "libvulkan dev" to include everything needed. If you need pthreads then install build-essential. I know, this is rather confusing. You could use AI to help find the packages needed.

DOWNLOAD THE VALVE PROTON PROJECT

You can download the latest stable, which is 9.0.3 (proton_9.0) currently, or the latest experimental, which is experimental_9.0.

git clone --recurse-submodules proton903OPT

Yes, this will create a directory called proton903OPT so that we know this is the optimized version of Proton 9.0.3.

MODIFYING THE MAKEFILE.IN

This is going to be where you tell the project to build with new GCC compile flags. We're hoping for higher performance here. Again, this is just for educational purposes and this will be a fun learning experience.

I commented out the original lines. Search for the part of the file near to the top that has the following and modify it like I did:

CROSSLDFLAGS += -Wl,--file-alignment,4096

#OPTIMIZE_FLAGS := -O2 -march=nocona -mtune=core-avx2 -mfpmath=sse

OPTIMIZE_FLAGS := -O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer

SANITY_FLAGS := -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing

#DEBUG_FLAGS := -ggdb -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-omit-frame-pointer

DEBUG_FLAGS := -g0

COMMON_FLAGS = $(DEBUG_FLAGS) $(OPTIMIZE_FLAGS) $(SANITY_FLAGS) -ffile-prefix-map=$(CCACHE_BASEDIR)=.

COMMON_FLAGS32 := -mstackrealign -march=native -mfpmath=sse -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer

#COMMON_FLAGS64 := -mcmodel=small

COMMON_FLAGS64 := -mcmodel=small -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer

CARGO_BUILD_ARGS += --release

Add these:

DAV1D_MESON_ARGS = \

-Doptimization=3 \

-Dc_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c17" \

-Dcpp_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++20" \

Add these:

GSTREAMER_MESON_ARGS := \

-Doptimization=3 \

-Dc_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

-Dcpp_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++20" \

Add these:

GST_BASE_MESON_ARGS := \

-Doptimization=3 \

-Dc_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

-Dcpp_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++20" \

Add these:

GST_GOOD_MESON_ARGS := \

-Doptimization=3 \

-Dc_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

-Dcpp_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++20" \

Add these:

GST_BAD_MESON_ARGS := \

-Doptimization=3 \

-Dc_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

-Dcpp_args="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++20" \

Add these but this will differ from the others:

FFMPEG_CONFIGURE_ARGS := \

--extra-cflags="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

--extra-cxxflags="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

--extra-objcflags="-O3 -march=native -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer" \

Find this and remove the error flag.

This is important because some versions will not build if the --enable-werror is not removed:

WINE_CONFIGURE_ARGS = \

--with-mingw \

--disable-tests

Last one in the Makefile.in to modify:

VKD3D_CONFIGURE_ARGS = \

--enable-silent-rules \

--disable-doxygen-doc \

--disable-tests \

--disable-demos \

--without-ncurses \

SONAME_LIBVULKAN=vulkan-1 \

CPPFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -flto -g0 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c++20" \

COMPILE THE PROJECT:

cd proton903OPT

mkdir build

cd build

../configure.sh --enable-ccache --build-name=proton903OPT

You should see output similar to this:

build$ ../configure.sh --enable-ccache --build-name=proton903OPT

:: Configuring with build name: proton903OPT

:: Trying to find usable container engine.

:: Trying docker.

• docker run --rm registry.gitlab.steamos.cloud/proton/sniper/sdk:0.20240307.80401-0

../configure.sh: line 32: docker: command not found

:: docker is unable to run the container.

:: Trying podman.

• podman run --rm registry.gitlab.steamos.cloud/proton/sniper/sdk:0.20240307.80401-0

:: Using podman.

:: Created ./Makefile, now run make to build.

:: See README.md for make targets and instructions

If all goes well, you can begin the building process:

make redist

OR

make redist > output.log 2>&1

If you're building Proton for the first time then create the output.log and read through it in search of errors or missing dependencies. Then install and rebuild.

When I get errors, I correct them and then delete the build directory to start clean:

cd ..;sudo rm -r build;mkdir build; cd build

Then just do the two commands again:

../configure.sh --enable-ccache --build-name=proton903OPT

make redist

IF ALL GOES WELL THEN YOU HAVE THE FILES NEEDED

From the build directory, you should see a new directory called "redist." You will cut and paste this entire directory to:

/home//.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/

Rename that directory so that you know what it is. If this works then you will probably be creating others- different versions, maybe different optimizations, maybe some vanilla builds, etc. I called mine Proton9V1. I have a V2, V3, V4 based on tests that I did with various optimizations.

CONFIGURE STEAM TO USE YOUR PROTON VERSION BY DEFAULT

YOU CAN ALSO ADD THIS TO LUTRIS

This runs better for me that Glorious Eggroll and the other Runners that come with Lutris but your mileage may differ.

We seem to be having trouble with a handful of the larger lemmy instances, as well as some misc other instances even though these instances aren't dead-dead: https://fedia.io/federation (at bottom of page - "Dead Instances").

I thought maybe it would've been a problem with a specific lemmy version, but there are several versions in the list and also some still-living Mastodon instances that are running reasonably up-to-date versions.

Thibodaux Massacre (1887)

Wed Nov 23, 1887

---

The Thibodaux Massacre was an incident of violent suppression by white paramilitary forces of the unionizing efforts of 10,000 black sugar cane workers that took place on this day in 1887, in Thibodaux, Louisiana.

The sugar cane workers, determined to unionize for a living wage, had chosen to strike during the crucial harvest season, during which there was a narrow window of time to harvest the cane and the planters would be unlikely to find strikebreakers.

Judge Taylor Beattie, an ex-Confederate soldier and slaveowner, declared martial law and gathered up hundreds of white men to form a paramilitary group to suppress the strikers, close the borders to the city, and monitor all movement of black people in the area. Not wanting to be boxed in, black strikers fired on the city border guards. In retaliation, the paramilitary forces initiated three days of violence against mostly unarmed black workers and their families.

Estimates of the total number of dead range from 35-60, making it one of the deadliest strikes in American labor history. Despite the women and children killed, the Southern press heralded the white perpetrators of the violence.

One participant, Andrew Price, went on to be elected to Congress. Black farmworkers in the region did not make another large effort to unionize until the 1940s.
