Quoting: GuestDefine 'work' we talking gold? platinum? bronze? silver? which rating here?
I've been waiting on the creator of ProtonDB replying about that and they did today, added to the article:

Since it's not explained on the ProtonDB website, I reached out to the owner of ProtonDB to explain how they get that "games work" number. They said it "includes all games with at least one gold rating or higher".

Quoting: slaapliedjeHow do you gwt the framerate counter to show, curious what I was getting for the brief period of time I loaded it in flat mode.
Steam settings -> In-Game (left bar) -> In-game FPS counter (dropdown box).

Quoting: adamhmIt should also be possible to spoof the GPU vendorid/deviceid by using a custom dxvk.conf [External Link] and placing it alongside the game's executable - un-comment these lines and set the values accordingly (the values for my RX480 are deviceid 67df, vendorid 1002):

# dxgi.customDeviceId = 0000
# dxgi.customVendorId = 0000
It does not use DXVK, it's native Vulkan.

Quoting: x_wingLiam, you probably want to point out that in order to compile you need to install build essential (or the similar meta package for non debian distros)
Sure, added two package notes in quotes for people on Ubuntu who need a bit of help. If anyone knows other specific packages it absolutely needs, happy to add them in. Everyone on Arch likely knows what they're doing :P

Quoting: PatolaTried the trick, same result... Doubled the FPS!!! Thanks!!! BTW, I did not create a new directory for it, since I decided to keep the github dir I pointed directly to it.
Glad to have helped.

The extra directory is more for cleaning up, so you can just remove the pulled GitHub files, I just like to keep my folders neat.

Quoting: CybolicI think that activation link should be https://alderongames.com/me/licenses [External Link] - that's what worked for me anyway.
Just going by the link they told me to use, the one in the article works fine for me?

Quoting: EikeI don't know if it's already been covered, but I found this interesting...
... the product we had been developing together privately for over two years. [External Link]
That's noted in our bigger Steam Play one year anniversary post.

The Underlords are actually coming to Dota Underlords, plus a new Duos mode

Steam Play arrived on Linux one year ago, some thoughts

Quoting: rustybroomhandleMy partner just switched to Linux 100%, even though she can't run Photoshop anymore. We're currently playing Final Fantasy XIV together. That's the real value of Proton right there.
I have a friend who did the same. Got sick of Windows and switched to Linux cause he could still play his games. That's it.
Not because of the freedom, open source, or privacy concerns (he figures in this day and age MS/Google/Facebook know all about him anyway). He just wanted to play games, and Proton made that possible.
I can add my own +1 to this, as our livestreamer Sin also removed Windows completely.
