Quoting: MohandevirWhat I don't know is if it gets overwritten by your preset, when you activate Proton for all titles...

Once the game is whitelisted with an specific Proton version, it'll default to this specific version unless you change manually thought the options.

Quoting: m-svoNo, it does not. Good point! There are quite a few titles that actually run worse with newer Proton releases, Torchlight from the top of my head.

There's also the other way around, where the newer version runs better than the whitelisted default.

For example I did a request [External Link] for an update to a whitelisted game, where once was because the new release fixed some audio glitches, but now you must change due to a recent update with the game.

So a game being whitelisted doesn't necessary mean that it'll run better/for ever except the game and your system remains the same.

Never said that the whitelist is perfect. It feels like they tried to do something at the start but priorities must have shifted during Proton development and, now, it looks like it was "put on the backburner". This said, in a perfect scenario, there would be a team maintaining the Whitelist. ProntoDB could be a good start to determine which games should be tested for whitelisting, but it's a huge task. Who knows, Valve might come back to it, at some point.

Quoting: RickAndTired"early stage" he says, yet Proton already allows me to play so many great games effortlessly. I can't wait to see where it keeps going.

Any idea when they're going to update the "white list"?

protondb has a pretty long list of my games with a "Gold+" or "Platinum" rating, yet the "white list" for Proton hasn't been updated in quite a while...

and

Quoting: gojulAnyway a whitelist update would be great.

Why? What do you both need from the whitelist keeping in mind you can manually set Proton on any game now? The whitelist was originally from before they let us do that.

What's interresting, in the Whitelist, is the fact that the game is installed with a predetermined Proton version. Exemple: in the case of Doom 2016, it's Proton 3.16. For the end user, it's some form of guarantee that it will work as intended with this proton version? What I don't know is if it gets overwritten by your preset, when you activate Proton for all titles...

Quoting: MohandevirJust Cause 3 and Batman Arkham Knight?! The only 2 games I was forced to play on my Nvidia Shield.

batman was free and DRM free on epic. you could use the epic .exe on steam
i dont get it, why they make games DRM free in gog and epic, but not steam

Maybe, but there is no way I'm going to create an account on Epic.

Quoting: ageresWait, does Batman: Arkham Knight really work now? It didn't earlier, though it ran fine with regular Wine Staging.

Not for me...

Update: It works with PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1

Same here. Batman Arkham Knight works ootb. No ESYNC tweak. Performances are quite good.

For Just Cause 3, it's another story.. Instead of not starting at all, it gets stuck on a black screen...

Edit: Just Cause 3 starts to a black screen but the intro and input sounds can be heard.

Edit 2: It was a Steamos-compositor issue. Just Cause running like a champ at ultra on Gnome desktop.

Can you report this compositor issue?

In fact, Nvidia 440.59 just got tagged for and installed on Ubuntu 19.10 and both SteamOS-Compositor issues are gone (Shadow of Mordor Vulkan beta and Just Cause 3 black screen).

Hurray!

Awesome progression, but I confirm too, still some work to do... No grappling hook in Batman and no saves in Just Cause 3. Performance wise, they are running like native.

Awesome! Going to put that claim to the test! 😊

I always found the concept interresting, but at this price tag and in it's current state, it's not enough.

Quoting: Liam Dawe...these new and improved units are "already in the hands of content developers"

Let's wait and see if developers jump into the fray... Didn't they mentionned new IP exclusives too, at some point? It might have some impact, if they deliver an Atari "Breath of Wild" impact IP... I'm not putting too much faith in that though.

Am I wrong to say that, in the GPU repo, 440.59 is tagged for Ubuntu 20.04 only, atm?

Let's hope it fixes the Shadow of Mordor Vulkan beta bug... On a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10, it doesn't work with driver 440 and my GTX 1660 Super. I have to revert to driver 435 that doesn't recognize my GPU... At least it works. :)
