What are you playing this weekend?

Icy: Frostbite Edition. I dig it. It reminds me a lot of the board game Dead of Winter - just without the zombie trappings. Lots of character development and lots of difficult choices with meaningful consequences.

Finally got back to TIS-100.

For my taste the Zachtronics games are one of the best things to happen. :)

Everspace, maybe DeusEx:MD. With Steam Play Gray Goo, I love this game.

Which Skyrim version are you guys using? I was thinking of getting the Legendary Edition.

The classic one with all DLCs and high res texture pack.

I recommend the enhanced towns and audio ambiance packs from the workshop, they really make the place feel more lived in.

Oh yes, I plan to finish this one too! This "display programming" started to be too much grind-work at the time I played it. And then I somehow I left it alone..

Path of Exile: Delve via a custom Proton build. Some people are having issues with the latest release, but me it's running as well as it ever has (which is to say, acceptable if not amazing).

I'd love to play Grim Dawn (which does work in vanilla Wine) but Proton has a *very* odd bug where you can play but can't choose a class when you hit level 2. Weird.

Oh, and Into The Breach. Works with Proton, and is on sale on Humble, so why wait? ;)

The only complaint I have is that it seems to melt my notebook.
It's getting *extremely* hot for the very simplistic presentation.
It literally hurts my legs while playing for 2 minutes - so I have to put it somewhere else.
This affects all Zachtronics games so far that I played (not including Opus Magnum and the newest one which I both don't have *yet*).

It's Unity based, right?
IIRC, I have similar issues with other Unity games.
For reference:
The notebook has a Haswell CPU/GPU but a rather high display resolution with 2880x1620 pixels.

ultimate chicken horse, human fall flat and shovel knight (co-op) so far.. i mostly game with my kids too so its usually local multiplayer things.. but later on in the evening I might continue my Tyranny adventure..

Fell Seal - Arbiter's Mark (pre-release or something!)

Dying Light: the following for me

Hot Lava and Thief (2014) with the help of Proton.

Received Hot Lava from a friend as a gift and wasn't able to get it up and running with Wine myself, but Proton is as easy as install and play from within Steam. Awesome! It's a Klei game, so you bet it's quality work, even in its pre-release state.

I bought Thief back when I was still dual booting, but I never was able to finish the tutorial mission because of a gfx driver related crash I wasn't able to resolve no matter which driver I used. Tried with Wine last year and had very poor performance and weird input behavior. Now with Proton it is very playable, only minor annoyances like subtitles not playing on cue. Going the full stealth route, no knockouts, no dousing flames and hoping to achieve 100% loot on each mission. Looking good so far :)

I just ended my chaos campaign on Total War Warhammer, I am still waiting for Total War Warhammer 2 from feral to buy it. And for now I'm playing GTA 5 online via proton o/

Two Point Hospital, I gotta get those hospitals to three stars. :p

dead cells on steam, dxhr on steam-playonlinux,
star wars battleground 2 on steam play

Beat Saber, on linux :)

Rimworld. Just started it Thursday. Haven't played in a while, loving the updates.

I don't know yet. So... many... games... now. :)

Thanks to Proton, I rediscovered Castle Crashers through the week, and weirdly, unlike most games I had on the Xbox 360, it doesn't feel as if I only played it a month ago. So I might have a blast on that. Also, without deliberately trying, my F1 campaign (2015, 'cos it was free) is in sync with the real one, so a 25% race at Monza is a distinct possibility too.

I got back into Mount & Blade: Warband recently, even though I know that it'll start crashing eventually, and it's beginning to show the tell-tale graphical glitches so I think that's coming to an end. I might squeeze another few sessions out of it, though. It's one of those games you never hear much about, but I don't know of anyone who plays it who doesn't absolutely love it.

Shadow Warrior 2 here under Wine + DXVK, currently at around 15% completion. I like the RPG elements with the weapon customizations and the character progression system.

I don't know what the game is based upon, but it seems unlikely that it uses that much horsepower.
Maybe it's got a cryptocurrency DLC? ;-)

GTA V.

Yes, it runs on Steam Play/Proton :D

Needs a workaround to make it start, and it occasionally starts stuttering after a while, but overall it's a pretty smooth experience.

How? I've seen footage of it running on Linux, but couldn't find anything to tell me how to get past that Social Club loading.

Instead of telling you to go browse through a bunch of other posts, I'll outline *exactly* what I did to get my GTA V to work, get past social club and into the game (On Nvidia).

To get GTA V to work on Steam Play + Proton:

In Terminal, enter the following command, changing the dir to fit your own:

WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx
winetricks --gui

Then select default prefix, install a font and finally corefonts

I went this route because using the WINEPREFIX=/home/.../pfx winetricks corefonts command got stuck installing Gecko for me, and the gui powered through it somehow.

After that

Create a file called gta_dxvk.conf and copy/paste the following in it:

dxgi.customDeviceId = E366
dxgi.customVendorId = 1002

Then save it to your /home/<username>/ folder

Then go to the game properties in your Steam library and set launch options to:

PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/<username>/gta_dxvk.conf %command%

I also had to make sure in Nvidia Settings I activated "Force Full Composition Pipeline" and "Force Composition Pipeline," as they disabled themselves the last time I updated drivers. Without this, the game, for me, had tear-able tearing (pun intended).

Now I get 50-65FPS, though I do notice the textures can be a little wonky on the roads past a certain distance; but I think that has to do with the DXVK and Vulkan in the current edition of Nvidia Drivers I'm on, 396.54. I know the 396.54.02 supposedly fixed some stuff but it hasn't showed up in my graphics-drivers:ppa yet.

I hope this helps others get GTA V to work, doing the above steps makes it run flawlessly now for me.

in Terminal you just type protontricks {appid} {command} and it gets on with it for you.
