A Linux player switching from Windows 11 has reported drastic frame rate drops when running the third-party tool EDcopilot under Steam Proton compatibility for Elite Dangerous. While EDcopilot requires Proton to operate on Linux, enabling it causes the frame rate to plummet to an unusable 4-6 FPS after just a few minutes, despite the game normally running at 45-60 FPS on high settings without Proton. This issue underscores ongoing challenges with third-party tool compatibility and performance for Linux players using Proton, potentially impacting those relying on EDcopilot for enhanced gameplay.
- EDcopilot needs Proton on Linux but causes severe FPS drops.
- Frame rate falls from 45-60 FPS to 4-6 FPS after minutes of play.
