Have any of you ever seen the movie Condemned with Stone Cold Steve Austin? I distinctly heard the Wilhelm Scream in the trailer too. :D

Quoting: ElectricPrismor just make a category called windows and add those gsmes to it and collapse it. no big deal.

Or a category called Proton. Is what I'm going to do in my own tests.

This is what I've done, if they work when I install & run them they get added to the main list, anything that flat out refuses to work I'm hiding for the moment.

Quoting: mahagrI just wish that Steam didn't list Windows games inside my Linux library..

If you right click on the game, choose Set Categories from the list & on the window that opens you can tick the box to hide the game in your library.

Quoting: legluondunetThe difference with Wine is that most Steamplay prefix are already work with only one click. For example, for dragon's origins I needed with Wine to install DLL or other tierce winetricks apps install. With Steamplay just launch the game, it works and that's a HUGE difference.

Wine code is already used by some Windows apps to launch Windows games that are no more supported by recent Windows version.
For example, DxWnd. I even use this app to start old Windows games with Wine, this is great to play old game in full resolution.
Effectively, in the future Valve could use Proton for Windows games too that does not launch any more on recent Windows version.
Will Wine become the Java toolkit/Runtimes for multiplatform gaming?

I didn't know about DxWnd, that could come in handy for my parent's machine, unless I can persuade them to switch to Linux.

Quoting: lucifertdarkSince Valve brought us Steam play my list of Steam games playable in Linux has gone from 950 to 1400, I now have 75% of my Steam games playable in Linux with little to no effort on my part. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. :D

Is that playable, or installable? The games might not actually run.
And they were probably playable before through wine. Steam Play changed none of that, it just means more focus going forward of Valve supporting running games in Steam through wine.

Food for thought: might Valve try this on Windows at some point? Not all games built for XP will run on 10 I suspect.

It's actually a mix of both, playable & installable (potentially playable), I'm going through the list, installing & testing games as I go, some nice surprises have come up like Mortal Kombat Komplete collection working perfectly, I'm finding a few that have been marked as working just refuse to work & nothing that uses .Net has run for me so far, but I've still got more games than I can shake a stick at.

Wine doesn't work in Windows, but there's always a chance it might in the future seeing as Windows 10 removes compatibility for older games.

Some developers will just see Linux sales as extra money without any extra effort on their part as long as the game just works, if it doesn't all they have to do is say "speak to Valve, nothing to do with us", it's a win/win for those developers.

Quoting: RoosterAs far as I know, you can't play Skyrim using Proton yet. Or am I wrong?

According to the compatibility chart, you should be able to play the original but not the Special Edition.

Both versions work in Wine, but I don't have any voice sounds there. I tried the Special Edition with Proton, still the same problem. Actually, the SE works even better then the original Skyrim. Better performance, better graphics, has controller support.

In my case I have no voices on either version of Skyrim & exiting brings my system to a grinding halt. Looks good when it's working though, so there is hope.

Middle Earth Shadow of War. You have to work with Fire & Steel to make weapons of War.

Quoting: wvstolzingI don't see how that would work -- without a Linux machine, they still can't test if the proton wrapper works properly or not.

Damn! there was me thinking I was so smart & you bring me back to Earth with a bump. hahaha of course they still need Linux, what was I thinking?
