Quoting: HmeGrabbed a copy of DOOM (2016) for 7€, thinking I would test this whole proton thing not expecting much...
IT RUNS SO SMOOTH!

Where did you find it at that price?

Sorry for the late response...
It was on sale at GamersGate. Never used that site before, but worked nicely.
Got the game product-key which i then typed into Steam :)

I'm not entirely sure but wasn't GamersGate one of those places we're supposed to avoid due to the selling of stolen keys? Apologies to GamersGate if they're not one of them.

Quoting: GuestDo you guys know if Elder scrolls online works with Proton ?
I really want to play this game.

Elder Scroll Online [External Link] reports are hit or miss, it looks like it'll depend on your hardware if you can get it running or not, I don't have it so can't say for definite.

Quoting: lucifertdark32bit Prefixes for those games that absolutely need it.
.NET working in 64bit prefixes if possible, we wouldn't need 32bit prefixes that way.

Definitely. .NET's a big sticking-point for a lot of games. And it really shouldn't be.

No more 0byte downloads every time I fire up Steam.

I was getting a lot of those for a couple of months before Proton dropped. Whether it's related or not, I don't know. But they do need to figure out a better way of updating Proton itself.

An easier way to configure prefixes than Winetricks, or a proper gui for it that makes sense.

I don't know if that'll happen, given that the whole point is to make it seamless so you don't have to configure anything.

Something in the Beta channel, to help users try out and suggest fixes, wouldn't be a bad idea though. But I expect Valve probably assume that anyone doing that kind of thing already knows how Winetricks works.

Thinking about it, perhaps they could find a way to integrate what Winetricks & Winecfg do into Steam directly but keep it under an advanced settings menu that only shows up if you choose the Proton Beta.

Quoting: GuestI just want voices and music in Skyrim Special Edition....

I believe FAudio will fix that, which Ethan Lee is working on. Let's hope Valve hire him, full speed ahead number 1!

That will be the solution to make it work out of the box. However there is a workaround for Skyrim Special Edition. Works for me..

I like the "works for me" part, when you clearly haven't tested the workaround...

That workaround, slightly modified, works for the original version of Skyrim, all it did for me with the SE version was crash it.

Quoting: chancho_zombievr portal demo??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93hPzWGesJw [External Link]

Perhaps but the page was only set up yesterday, the vr demo was done in 2007.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyIsn't that part of the appeal though - for developers to be hands-off?

I mean, then Valve Software could push SteamOS/Steam Machines and say "most of our catalog runs perfectly", and they wouldn't need to sit there listening to the million excuses developers have for being anti-Linux...

I may have misread what Swiftpaw was saying, it's late & I'm starting to wilt, might be time for me to push off to bed.

Quoting: elmapulthey should add an icon to compatible games...
but i'm not sure if the steamOS icon is the right icon to use.

It's very simple: the Linux/SteamOS icon means the game is supported on Linux. If the developers aren't supporting playing the game on Linux, then it should not get that icon. Support means play testing the release, updates, getting bugs fixed and responding to Linux gamers with issues, etc, all the same support we get everywhere else. If the support isn't all there, then it should not be getting that icon. A different icon, maybe, but not the Linux support icon.

One day perhaps, right now all problems in games running under Proton are to be directed to Valve & not the developers. The Developers on the whole are hands off at the moment.

Snooping round Github just now I found this Moondust [External Link] I wonder what it's for?

I agree with silmeth.

Here's a short list of what I'd like to see in future versions of Proton.

Wine 3.15, or the most recent stable version if possible..
32bit Prefixes for those games that absolutely need it.
.NET working in 64bit prefixes if possible, we wouldn't need 32bit prefixes that way.
No more 0byte downloads every time I fire up Steam.
An easier way to configure prefixes than Winetricks, or a proper gui for it that makes sense.
unused Proton folder automatically deleted when switching between Beta & non-Beta, at the moment it just hangs around, potential conflict lie that way.

On a brighter note, Proton is flipping awesome.

Quoting: dudeBroke again (thanks to Proton), but Feral has a leased line to my wallet.
Let's see how the game is.

They've released the Native Port, Proton not needed for this one now. Have you restarted Steam in the last couple of hours?

Oh hang on, I misread your post, ignore what I said above. I had a senior moment. ;)

What happens if someone already has it installed through Steam Play, does it download the native version & replace it?
