Quoting: g000hGreat news, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition (game id 489830) is now working for me *with sound* (and mods) simply by editing the user.reg file - here: steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx directory - and adding the single line at the end of the DllOverrides section:

[Software\\Wine\\DllOverrides] ....
.
.
.
"xaudio2_7"="native,builtin"


I installed the game with Steam Play (Proton), latest beta, 3.16-3 and the NPC audio wasn't working. Made this little change in the user.reg file, restarted the game and NPC audio is working fine.

Okay, so I've now tried this out some more - Attempting to run the game from the start, as a fresh beginning. Unfortunately, it is causing Skyrim SE to stick at particular sections. I've done a fair bit of fiddling, e.g. reloading the problem sections with the xaudio2_7 bit turned off, going past the bit where the game wouldn't go further, with xaudio off, and then restarting the game with xaudio enabled again in user.reg - and I'm getting continued problems with this method.

So disappointing. I thought I'd got it licked, but no - now it stops the game from getting past certain points. I've tried with and without Mods loaded.

For me, this solution doesn't work :(

Also, regarding Fallout 3 GOTY and xlive.dll - I checked my Windows 10 install (a month ago) and that dll does not exist for me to copy it. Not especially keen to just download some dodgy xlive.dll off the internet.

So, no Skyrim for me. Keep on twiddling my thumbs while waiting for progress.

You can always get a legit xlive.dll by extracting it from the official GFWL setup: http://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft_games_for_windows_live.html or get the game on GOG during a discount.

I tried the DEMO of PREY and..WOW!
It works out of the box, but after a couple of hours of gameplay, I had the typical sound distortion, so I added the "xaudio2_7"="native,builtin" in the game's user.reg
Sadly, It is not possible to report DEMO'S in ProtonDB.. They have to fix that.

6 hours of gameplay, exploring, reading computer emails, fighting... The hacking method ssems to be inspired in the first Bioshock.
All the mystery of the DEMO left me in a cliffhanger... Now I have to buy and play the fullgame.

Developer ought to have a way to officially support Proton. Like having a Proton-compatible picto that bind them to try to support Proton. I can't right now buy a game that don't have official support of Linux because I don't know if it will still be working on Linux when I decide to play it.

i looked up some ubisoft games. far cry 3+5

ubisoft games dont work because of this stupid uplay client, but they used a crack and it works
im sure thats kinda illegal, but if it is that easy to run ubisoft games on linux, maybe valve can talk to ubisoft and make something happen (idk, maybe a separate .exe file for linux users)

do you think that could work?

I don't have any problem running the Far Cry games in regular wine.

The uplay login bug was fixed in the final release of Wine staging. It's not fixed in wine-devel or proton *yet*, but people seem to have found a way around it (essentially it's a matter of symlinking to the correct version of libgnutls). This is from the protondb page for Assassin's Creed Revelations (obviously it's for Arch, but you get the idea):

QuoteYou need to set the correct libgnutls lib:

sudo pacman -S lib32-gnutls
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.30.14.11 ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64/libgnutls.so.26
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libgnutls.so.30.14.11 ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_32/libgnutls.so.26

Install corefonts:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirmentio/protontricks/master/protontricks && chmod +x protontricks
sudo mv protontricks /usr/bin/protontricks protontricks 271590 corefonts

Install uplay: WINEPREFIX=/folder_games/steamapps/compatdata/201870/pfx wine Donwnload/Uplay.exe

Let uplay reinstall steam. Launch the game and it will work.

I haven't tried this out myself, though.

Is Good to see Killing Floor 2 Working out of the box thanks to Proton 3.16-4 beta!
