Quoting: GuestIn 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.

You should be able to avoid that mess by using Proton's wine binary like this:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.steam/root/SteamApps/compatdata/271590/pfx" WINE="$HOME/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/Proton 3.7 Beta/dist/bin/wine" winetricks corefonts

Notice that SteamApps capitalization seems to differ between systems, and the Wine path assumes you have set Proton Beta as your compatibility tool in the Steam Play config. Also, you should naturally have winetricks installed for this to work.

A shell script to find and set up the environment variables wouldn't be difficult to write, so I assume someone who actually uses proton more extensively than I do has already done it. EDIT: I assumed right. See lucifertdark's comment above.

I'll be continuing my playthrough of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, which I recently got as a gift. It's a well executed remaster of a PS2-era 3D platformer with two unique playable characters and plenty to see and do. The Linux release seems pretty much flawless. Well worth playing if you can handle the occasional awkwardness inherent to the genre. Just don't give up before you finish the tutorial like Samsai did. :P

I'm also liable to help my Linux buddies lose a few Rocket League matches, and I really should finish my Dirt Rally GOL league run as well.

If I'm not feeling quite up for action, Deponia Doomsday will provide a satisfactory point-and-click adventure fix.

I think we can safely say that. After just a week there are already 771 issues created and 26 pull requests. You can't easily find projects with this much activity so early.

This is not exactly true since the majority are whitelist requests.

Of the 799 issues open currently only 304 are whitelist requests, but in any case, activity is activity.

Quoting: tuubiWhy would anyone gaming exclusively on Linux have collected a large wishlist of non-Linux games and had the filter set to show Windows games as well?

Maybe to show the developer there is a demand for a Linux port?

That didn't make sense before platform-specific wishlisting was announced, and in the announcement it was made very clear that you should set the store filter accordingly.

Well, then it is "Unspecified Platform" for me. I'm playing games on Linux and Windows, and I'm not switching around in the Store settings and search the game in the store everytime just to show there is demand for Linux.

It's nice that you'd like to do this if it was a bit more convenient for you, but I still don't see the big problem here. If you buy games on Steam for both Windows and Linux, there's no reason for a developer to assume a platform preference for any single wishlist item. And having a separate platform setting for the wishlist would seem a bit redundant. You'll just have to do your advocacy some other way.

EDIT: Let's not take this further off topic, okay? I think this sort of discussion belongs on the forum.

Rocket League

They tested it and it performed good?

Yes they can test it but i bet that ran like crap on that hardware.

Should run just fine with reasonably low graphical settings. It's pretty much playable at 720p even on an Intel iGPU (I've tried it), so the A10/R7 should do just fine. Won't be beautiful on a big TV screen but it'll run.

Quoting: ChronariusNo, that is not what they are saying.

If a user only has one platform filter selected in their Steam store preferences, adding a game to their wishlist will result in it being specially reported to the developer in a new platform-specific breakdown of the wishlist report

Which means the game you have added with "Linux only" are reported to the developers as wishlisted for Linux. But doesn't effect your existing wishlist at all. I guess you will have to redo the whole wishlist with "Linux only" setting, and even then you can only hope that Valve gets their numbers right.

I think you might be making a mountain out of a molehill. Why would anyone gaming exclusively on Linux have collected a large wishlist of non-Linux games and had the filter set to show Windows games as well? And if you have just switched and want to make a clean break, you'll most likely want to clean out your old Windows wishlist anyway.

BTW: The actual data developers see in the wishlist report for their game gets updated daily [External Link] and is likely to reflect any changes to user platforms. I think what you're overanalysing here is just a case of poor wording.

Quoting: ChronariusMost likely your wishlisted games count es "Unspecified Platform" anyway. I thought that adding the game to my whishlist, while running the Steam client on Linux, would be enough to count for Linux. Well, it doesn't *sigh

What's with the sighing? They make it quite clear that if you've set Linux as your only platform in the store preferences, your wishlist counts for Linux. There's no ambiguity. They could make the store filters more discoverable or even change the default based on platform, but I'm not sure that would be a popular change.

What do you mean lately? Nothing new there, except for the sheer volume of games coming out.

The game don't work to me....

maybe it's a driver problem, I'm using Mesa drivers 18.2 rc4.

weird, someone else also reported this game running on NVIDIA 396.54 driver, 4.18 kernel.

I use 4.15 Ubuntu 18.04 kernel.... perhaps this is the problem

Take a look at ukuu [External Link] if you want an easy way to test a more recent kernel on Ubuntu.
