Path of Exile - Direct3D11 - HIGH settings with Steam Play Proton (3.16-7), the Linux compatibility layer from Valve.

It is now playable out of the box, in "Direct3d11 mode" with Nvidia GPU ! (uses D3d11 in the game settings)
Before latest Proton 3.16.7 update, the game was only playable in Direct3D9 mode.

It is now definitively playable at highest settings 60 Fps vsync.

REMARKS
- No specific Steam launch option is used
- Proton here uses DXVK, so you need a compatible Vulkan GPU to play it.

[*] The Proton compatibility layer uses technologies developed for wine. Proton, the tool that Steam Play uses to provide Windows compatibility, contains a custom version of Wine as well as additional libraries developed alongside it.

Wine is free but you can support the development by buying a copy of a CrossOver product from Codeweavers at https://www.codeweavers.com/products


And you already support Valve by buying games on Steam :D.

IMPORTANT REMARKS:
1. All games bought on steam and played on Linux client (including using the #SteamPlay proton compatibility layer) count as a Linux purchase !
2. Also support companies that ports games to Linux directly by buying "real" native ports !.
