I attempted to set up ProtonDB but encountered issues on the site. Firefox reported a "Secure Connection Failed" error. I was planning to chat via Discord, but their server link is also unavailable. This leaves me stuck. Switching between Windows and Linux feels frustrating lately—especially since Windows seems to handle games well while Linux struggles. I just want to enjoy GTA V without lag.

Note: I recently got GTA free from Epic Games, but the Epic launcher doesn't work with Wine. It's a bit disappointing. On the positive side, I can now play COD and Watch Dogs on Linux. Edited June 24, 2020 by Ded_X My mistake.

Proton is what you're referring to. ProtonDB is simply a site providing details. You don't need to install Proton; just turn it on in Steam settings under Steam Play.

well technically you have to install it, but this is the way. if you do this then it'll install it when you try to install a game that requires it.

ProtonDB doesn't offer an app; access is via the website. Any installations aren't directly from ProtonDB. The site loads properly in Firefox. Steam Play for Proton Support is active via Steam settings. Game-specific configurations appear under "The Game you want to change" → "Properties". You can force a title to use a particular Proton version. For AMD cards, add RADV_PERFTEST=aco to launch options to enable specific versions.
