Quoting: legluondunetTekken 7 is on the Steamplay whitelist and it doesn't launch with Proton...Valve should verify his Whitelist before to publish it.

That's why it's only available in the beta client. They're still figuring this out.

Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port

Quoting: GuestI actually didn't complete Rise of The Tomb Raider because the FPS drops I find nauseating, and I'm not an FPS snob and can tolerate some lower degrees of performance here and there, I get drops in the native linux version of Ruiner but I don't really notice it much, but that's a top-down shooter with fixed camera.. in rise of tomb raider it just makes me feel sea sick though :-\

But the port is actually good, and get 60fps is majority of the game but there seem to be alot of spots that just drop in performance randomly.

Not to say the port wasn't quality, who knows it could be a problem on my end but I wasn't able to maintain solid 60fps and the drops personally found unbearable enough to put me off completing it.. would be great to see some more patches for the game because I think with enough love it could perform better
Did you perhaps happen to play with Nvidia driver 396.18 and <16gb of RAM? Because there was a nasty bug that meant a lot of swapping and slowdowns if that's the case. Feral worked around the bug in an early patch and it worked fine for me afterwards, and with more recent drivers the bug should be solved anyway. (I played with a loaner 4gb GTX 1050, I doubt my own 2gb 960 would do as well.)

Very tempting to play The Sims 3....
Well, currently downloading The Sims 3. I will test it on Saturday evening or Sunday, depends on my laziness...
You could have checked the compatibility spreadsheet [External Link] to avoid wasting your time and bandwidth. (Three reports that it does not work.)

7 Billion Humans from Tomorrow Corporation is now out and it's fantastic

The game has been creeping up my wishlist since it was announced, currently competing for the first spot with Opus Magnum. Even my wife agreed that HRM was brilliant, I don't see how this sequel could be anything but. I'll be sure to pick it up as soon as my budget allows.

Quoting: MayeulCHopefully someones builds a few libraries to easily use the native Steam API with regular wine/wine staging. I foresee this happening soon enough :)
How about the option to use your own "compatibility tool" in steam play, as in provide a wine executable path and prefix or something along those lines and let Steam handle the API access? Might be easier said than done of course.

Surely it's not "out" if it has just entered Early Access? Have fun beta testing and remember to report the bugs to the developer.
Not early access.

Closed beta for backers only.

Which makes all their recent advertisements a bit false.

Let's also remember it was supposed to be out last month.
Sorry, my bad. Doesn't change the fact that the game is unfinished and will likely remain that way for a long while.

Also the idea of paid beta access makes me a bit grumpy. I can't help it.

Quoting: BoldosJust to refresh the info:
THIS is the "live" version of the tracking document, and it has grown 1,5 times from yesterday (to roughly 2600 test entries as of this morning; so pretty impressive so far):

This generated view [External Link] loads a lot faster and it's cleaner without the useless editor bits. It seems to update every 5 minutes so it's live enough.

Light-hearted mystery à la Broken Sword, a proven staple in any adventure gamer's diet. Looking good, and I don't mean just the visuals.

Yes.
