Firewatch is native. And Unity. How is that supposed to work?

If true, it's likely much easier to use DXVK Native than it is to upgrade Unity for improved Vulkan support in-engine.

Quoting: PhlebiacSo if Team17 is providing you with keys, does that mean they are proactively supporting Proton? Or did you reach out to them?

We work with many marketing/PR teams, and often they randomly offer keys and this was one such case. We would love to review more games but the issue is as always: larger teams tend to ignore us.

Quoting: BielFPsThe only thing that's not clear is who will evaluate if each game meets the requirements: The consumers, the developers or (most unlikely) Valve itself?

Valve made it pretty clear they are ultimately the ones who make the ratings.

Quoting: SalvatosAre you seeing an actual list there, Liam

Adjusted the wording to be more clear. No list yet.

Quoting: ewertonuriasOcean's Heart? But it's borked on ProtonDB :huh:

Which means nothing for this, because it's not Proton, the article does explain this.

Quoting: foggerYou can already play those games easily on Linux with DOSBox. I don't know why they are selling those games on Steam or GOG when most of those those games can be downloaded for free, legally, at archive.org.

Ha, Archive.org is an interesting situation. There is no legal definition of 'abandonware'. But archive.org also won't listen to dmca take downs from what I've seen.

But let's be fair here. Steam is a click and play set up, and with Boxtron you can even have extras like MIDI autodetected and set up for you. Downloading things from archive.org requires the set up of dosbox, and all the settings that entails, so isn't exactly the easiest thing to do. While most of us on here can do it, for the (hopefully) plethora of new users that'll hop on board via the Steam Deck, they won't want to mess with dosbox.conf.

Yup this is it exactly. A good, legal way to get them that will also help the Steam Deck and continue to show Linux representation to publishers.

You can ignore that it just carries on.

Quoting: nenoroSo can we expect to play Genshin Impact or we still have to wait for a simple click to support proton/wine ?

No. The developer will need to get their anti-cheat working with Proton.

Quoting: Liam DaweWorking around anti-cheat is absolutely not something we're okay with. Don't advertise it.

I'm not advertising it, or do you see an actual link to the workaround?

*sigh*

You must know what I mean. You're saying it works "just fine". What I am asking is not to advocate for such a game, when in fact it does not, as you have to work around their anti-cheat. This is not something we want here. It gives the wrong impression, and much like what happened with Destiny 2 can lead users to get banned. Say it as it is: no, you can't legitimately play it on Linux.
