Valve have pushed out a new Steam Play beta with DXVK 0.80 and more

By - | Views: 31,450

As expected, Valve have pushed out an update to Proton for their Steam Play system with a new beta version.

I wrote about an upcoming update recently going over a few of the changes coming, but I didn't expect them to push it out to a beta so soon.

The changelog is small but the improvements are great:

  • Improvements to alt-tab and fullscreen behavior in many games.
  • Fix mouse behavior in some games and mice with high sample rates.
  • Update DXVK to v0.80.

The is in the Proton 3.7-7 beta version, which you need to opt into manually in the Steam Settings:

The upgrade to DXVK alone should bring much better game compatibility, considering the amount of improvements that has gone into it since Steam Play only had DXVK 0.70 before.

I'm hoping the fullscreen improvements will stop the issue I had with DOOM from happening again, where on a two monitor setup it gave me a tiny screen on the wrong monitor.

Great to see progress. Do let us know how you're getting on with it and your thoughts on the new beta in the comments.

Ps. Apologies for the lack of content today, I am sick.

Quoting: sarmadIs there a way in Steam to search for games and filter out the ones that don't work on Linux, neither natively nor through Steam Play?

Look here for Steamplay compatibility:

3.7.7 Beta is not working out very nicely for me so far:
Crysis 2 - For some reason the dxvk hud isnt there anymore, unchanged user_settings.py file and I see nothing in the changelog that would explain it.. strange.
Metal gear solid V: TPP - Did not start at all.

Does anyone have a work Around for Net Frame Work Games

Did you try to set Wine config to "Windows XP"?

Give me a quick run down on how to do that

Quoting: EMO GANGSTERliam you should set up something on site that shows what games work with Proton we could help by trying games we own to tell you if they're good to go or if the games dud.

it's already exist here :https://spcr.netlify.com/app/221380

Looks like that fixed a mouse bug I was having with Oblivion. I suppose I ought to actually try and beat that game now that I have a convenient way to play it.
Or maybe I'll just play Daggerfall for another 40 hours instead.

Quoting: GuestDOOM 2016 still gives me black screen when I alt-tab and try to return :( oh and mouse still invisible in doom when using the steam overlay

I wonder if it will help towards mouse, I swear DOOM 2016 feels more sluggish then I remember playing it on windows

I get about 50-55fps on Arctic Snowfall on Tekken 7, might be a little faster because IIRC i was getting around 45fps previously, still hope to see more improvements to Tekken 7

Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy I found actually WORKS but only if I run it while in Steam Offline Mode, if I play it connected it just crashes after the "press A to start" screen, only tested it briefly in offline mode but it seemed to work pretty well.

Resident Evil HD REmaster and Resident Evil Revelations still give black screen, presumably because I think they both use Windows Media Player.

I'll probably do some more testing over the weekend

My AMD Card Was Lagging in Pefromance in TEKKEN 7 i change compatibility to Windows 10 and i get Solid 60 on that Arctic Snow Stage LMAO WTF
