Sorry, I also used the w/o of G2A just to get these 3 games.

In Ubuntu 19.04 they did not start from Steam.
Went to the game's local files to run ./dosbox.sh in a terminal
Missing libpng12.so.0
Tried a symbolic link to the newer version but it still it complained about the libpng version.
So I installed dosbox
Tried just the command from the games dosbox.sh script :

dosbox -conf ../dosbox_lionking.conf -conf ../dosbox_lionking_single.conf -noconsole -c exit

It worked great but on game exit the screen resolution stayed as the game's resolution and needed to run "Displays" to revert back.

Also in the script I commented out (not sure if it was the right thing) :

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs

This allowed Steam to launch the game with the new dosbox, but still has the exit to resolution problem.

Any ideas what I need to do get the the resolution to drop back to 1920x1080 ?

Thanks

No Steam gaming for me this week end, I cannot get the Steam client to start.
"Could not connect to steam network"

On Thursday I installed a new router so I assumed it was related, tried a different internet, even Hotspot from my phone.
I tried a few workarounds , including steam --tcp but no luck.

Tested on my wife's Ubuntu laptop that had not been updated for about a month and the Steam client started fine.

I did find this :
Steam does not connect on kernels newer than 2019-06-17 #6326 [External Link]

I'm expecting there to be a kernel patch soon.

[Edit]
Ubuntu 19.04 There was a kernel update , I can connect to Steam again.

Quoting: yar4eFinally! ENSLAVED: Odyssey to the West Premium Edition works perfectly (even with full controller support) "out of the box" in this Proton version! Thank you Valve and WINE team!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I tried it too and it's working great.

Tried Far Cry 3

Initially Uplay works ok but the game started with a black screen.

So I killed everything and tried again and in Uplay I disabled the "In game overlay", then the game played great.

The only glitch was exiting the game. "Exit to desktop" resulted in a game screen freeze / hang, needed to kill the game process and exit Uplay.

I will need to test this again.

It's moved to "VERY SOON" on the Feral radar.

Good article, nice discount with a steam key too. Plays nice and draws you in to the game pretty quickly.

In "Options", the setting separately of the X and Y resolution was different, I expected a drop down list.

No issues or errors so far on Ubuntu 18.04 with nvidia.
