@izaya how are you streaming it? I'm not familiar with RimWorld: is it point and click? I've tried streaming a couple games running on Proton--one, a 3D MMORPG, and the other, a 3D adventure game--from my desktop to my laptop before with Steam's built-in streaming tools, but I ran into issues with input/peripherals and one weird camera issue that made both games I tried unplayable.
@izaya I feel you. only so much time in the day
I've meaning to set up a wireguard VPN to see how good the perf is in practice. If I can stream Nier:Automata over wg and have it playable, I think that'd be an interesting data point
Dunno that it helped, but if it feels better does it matter whether it's actually different?
