Bad news. :-(

Fingers crossed they'll continue to make Linux games but unsure about that.

Skyrim is perfectly playable on Proton but with crackling sound. Also you need to terminate it with kill -9 as normal quit results in a zombie process.

Got the underwater bug. Applying the workaround did the trick (there's a mandatory episode underwater with the thief guild mission). Did not remark the shader bug.

Did not try the SE.

Quoting: Patola
Quoting: fabry92It's probably another Total War :/
I hope so! Maybe Total War: Rome 2? (actually it's too old for that - 2013)
Not too old : they ported Medieval Total War II two years ago...

But I don't think it is this one. Maybe Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

GTA V would rock as well !

What are you playing this weekend?

Quoting: RoosterWhich Skyrim version are you guys using? I was thinking of getting the Legendary Edition.
The classic one with all DLCs and high res texture pack.

Quoting: coesetaPlayed some Witcher 3 GotY yesterday, it just works out of the box for me. Runs @60FPS stable on Ultra settings without nvidia hairworks. Proton seems to be really nice :)
It already works like a charm w/ Vanilla Wine/devel from GOG so it is no surprise.

However proton games should all run in windowed mode otherwise they do not survive to alt-tab.
If they don't survive alt tab, report to Valve.
It has already been reported many times. I got the issue with every game I tried including Doom. Not a big deal as I prefer playing in windowed mode.

Anyway some games are affected by the issue with true MS Windows.

Skyrim works like a charm on my box but in windowed mode (to survive to Alt-Tab like every other game) and crashes if you exit it "cleanly", creating a zombie process. Sooo you have to terminate it using kill -9.

I'd love to see Middle Earth Shadow of War as well.
