Quoting: Chronarius

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.

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.

Quoting: chancho_zombieSleeping Dogs works for me with the beta.

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.

Quoting: vlademir1WINEPREFIX=[your home directory]/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/[App ID of the game]/ ~/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7/dist/bin/wine winecfg
I don't remember seeing this mentioned upthread, but I also didn't read every comment. The first part of that is likely the most important, seeing as you should be able to use any winecfg or winetricks once you know the prefix to dither about with.

Just a few notes:
- The actual prefix is in a subfolder named pfx, so you should add that to the end of the WINEPREFIX path.
- For me at least the "steamapps" folder should be "SteamApps". That should actually be the default, but better check your capitalization just in case.
- Depending on your Steam Play configuration, you might want to replace "Proton 3.7" in the wine path with "Proton 3.7 Beta", and remember to put the whole path in quotes or escape the whitespace with backslashes or that obviously won't work.

Taking these into account, here's what works for me:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.steam/root/SteamApps/compatdata/[AppID]/pfx" "$HOME/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/Proton 3.7 Beta/dist/bin/wine" winecfg

Proton doesn't package winetricks, but if you've got it installed locally, you can use it with Proton's wine executable by pointing the WINE environment variable to the right place, like this:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.steam/root/SteamApps/compatdata/[AppID]/pfx" WINE="$HOME/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/Proton 3.7 Beta/dist/bin/wine" winetricks

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyHave they (Valve Software) given any indication as to when they're hoping to make this available in the stable version of the Steam client for Linux-based operating systems? Or is this still a mystery?

It's Valve. I bet the answer is "when it's done". Or in this case, as soon as they deem it good enough that it won't be impossible to support.

As of now there are still several stumbling blocks to clear, like the requirement for bleeding edge / beta graphics drivers. They'll also want to expand that whitelist a bit. These things matter if they want to make it easier for gamers to migrate to Linux. This has the potential to result in (undeserved) bad publicity for the operating system so I'd rather they take their time.

Quoting: jardonAm I the only one that hasnt gotten a controller to work in any proton game?

i can confirm that CSGO crash if a joystick is plugged, it was working previously when the game had the old UI.

CSGO isn't running on Proton/Steam Play so that's a separate issue.

Quoting: KimyrielleSo...

What do people think is the better choice to run Windows games now? regular WINE? Staging? Proton?

As always… WINDOWS.
I'm quite serious. If you really want to game then that would be a good call.

It's also the answer to a question nobody asked.

Quoting: RoosterAs far as I know, you can't play Skyrim using Proton yet. Or am I wrong?

According to the compatibility chart, you should be able to play the original but not the Special Edition.
