Valve have updated the Beta of Steam Play which fixes VR games, fullscreen improvements and more

Does the version of an outside install of Wine make a difference to the one installed in Proton? The reason I ask is because up to a few minutes ago I had Wine 3.6 installed, I now have Wine 3.15 installed but Proton is still using 3.7, shouldn't we realistically have the same version of Wine installed outside Proton as in?

That's good to know, but I wanna play it now. ;)
Then go and play it.
Nah I think I'll wait & find something else to play for now, I've got plenty to test to keep me busy. :D

Quoting: edoSo after this basically all games (except games with weird drm) will work.
Still waiting for the .net fix as that is holding up quite a few of the bigger games, the Batman Arkham titles apart from Origins are some I can name off the top of my head.

Actually I just found I'm getting the same thing now, I think they broke something in the latest Beta of Proton, I assume you're using that one too?

edit, I made a copy of the proton 3.7 Beta folder (1.3Gb) & named it proton 3.7, deleted everything in the pfx folder for the game then ran the game to regenerate the prefix, quit the game then run the command again & it worked this time, winetricks for some reason couldn't see the beta folder but can see a non beta folder. It means I now have two copies of the proton folder.

What are you clicking on this weekend and what do you think about it?

Quoting: GuestWell, I don't have Gothic 1 on Steam, so I can't test. It works fine on my side, in all modes (fullscreen, fullscreen with virtual desktop emulation, and windowed mode). What's the version? Is it up-to-date? Have you tried updating it with the PlayerKit / System Pack?
It’s v1.08j, of course up to date since Steam doesn’t let us keep old versions. I haven’t tried any patch. Mouse input works fine with wine staging 3.15 but not with proton. (Also music works with wine staging, probably because I have installed the directx dlls.)
I’ve seen some instructions in the GOG forums to fix a few issues with Gothic 1 and 2 (like screen resolution), but I’ll stop tinkering with Gothic for now.
Proton is using Wine 3.7 at the moment so any game that needs a later version just isn't going to work without some huge effort & lots of tweaks.

Quoting: TheRiddickInstall XACT into the SKSE prefix, also make sure your open files size is large enough.
I tried to do that but unsuccessfully. I execute this:
WINEPREFIX=/2TB/Games/Linux/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/ winetricks --force xact
and get this:

Is there a way to install it manually by copying some files somewhere or something?
Open Terminal from inside the 489830 folder & run WINEPREFIX=$PWD/pfx winetricks --force xact instead, it's probably struggling with the 101 folders (slight exaggeration) deep you have the game, when I used Windows a lot console commands always failed if there were too many folders in the command.

I have mine installed in /$home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830, only a couple less folders for it to dig through but that could make all the difference.

While I'm waiting for Skyrim to re-install does open file size fix the crash on exit?

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, something simple...

It was actually simpler than that. On Arch Linux I just removed it, re-installed it and launched it before the workshop stuff downloaded.

Now it's working again, even with the beta (that I think maybe supports the Vive Pro better.) Now to see if the same thing fixes it in Debian.
Are you sure you're not me? that's how break things. ;) lol
