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

Quoting: slaapliedjeI need to figure out why SteamVR stopped working on both my Linux installs (Debian Sid and Arch Linux). It was working pretty well at one point.
It's probably something really simple like broken firmware or drivers.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWould be nicer if they'd just add VR to the Linux version. :P
If Linux can't run the non VR version of the games there's not much hope of the VR version running yet, it's still early days, but I'm sure you'll get your wish before long. ;)

I wonder how many people signed an NDA on Proton & had to bite their typing fingers every time they posted on here?

Quoting: spacemonkeyIs it possible to install the Windows version of a game that has a native Linux version? Since the VR should work better I would like to try Everspace. But only the Windows version of Everspace supports VR (the Linux version does not). So, is there a way to install the Windows version and use Steam Play?

That thread over there has grown so fast most people posting seem to have missed the important post I mentioned just above, Native2Proton created by Holston5.

Have a look at Native2Proton, I'm pretty sure it does what you want.

Quoting: dubigrasuI'd go as far as deleting the "Proton 3.7 Beta" folder to make sure the new version is downloaded (after you switch to 3.7-6 in the settings).
I'm glad you mentioned that, I just noticed I have two Proton folders, this might explain why I've been unable to create 32bit prefixes for those games that need .net installing. Deleted both & reinstalling Proton, fingers crossed.

Quoting: lucifertdarkForgive me if I seem a little dense but what is Steam Integration supposed to be?
The workshop, achievements, cloud saves, and stuff like that.

Edit: DRM as well, I guess.
Thanks, I should have known that as I've been using steam since it started.

Quoting: OG SWAT RV@LinuxWarhammer: End Times - Vermintide with Proton.

Must run with out launcher. Runs perfectly.

It is so much fun in coop.
This is next on my list, if I can get it to run at all, if not I'll be trying to get through Dishonored or Hitman Absolution, yes it will work but the method to get it working isn't safe & I can't give details of what I used. I played Hitman Absolution for 2 hrs yesterday with no crashes & starting from the very beginning I got as far as gatecrashing the Police raid on the drug den.

Quoting: slaapliedjeFunny thing is, I think they removed denuvo from the actual game. I bet they just didn't update the demo... but why is it there in the first place?
They included Denuvo to stop people stealing it, then later realised what a CF it is & got rid of it, they didn't remove it from the demo because next to no-one interested in the game is likely to bother with it. Except us of course. ;)

Checking over at Reddit I found a link to something that could be very useful in the short term, for those times when the Linux port is less than playable compared to the original Windows version we now have Native2Proton [External Link].

edit: Actually I found the mention on Github not Reddit, so many places to look for Proton info now. :D
