Quoting: MohandevirDo you smell it? Could this be the scent of a Steam streaming service? :)You mean like the one I said Valve would do :P
Seems like there's no hope for BattlEye support within Steam Play

Quoting: GuestSteam should add a red flag to games using something like BattlEye. In the case of Conan Exiles I can at least avoid BattlEye and still use the game that I paid for!I actually mentioned something similar more than once in articles before, that Valve need to have the anti-cheat noted on store pages to fully inform buyers.

Quoting: AimelaAh, interesting, bad example in that case. Have done a slight adjustment on the text, good tip.Titles like DayZ, Conan Exiles, PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS and many others are likely to never be playable on Linux with Steam Play.I'm not sure about the others, but Conan Exiles allows you to play the game without BattleEye through an option shown before the game is launched. You won't be able to get on most servers(particularly the official ones), but single-player and co-op with friends will still be available

Quoting: rea987That's odd, BattlEye previously supported Arma III which was an eON port. It looks like VP's ports are compatible with BattlEye than Proton.This is because VP used the native BattlEye.

Quoting: rea987Well, there's already SDLCL that's exactly do it.I've no doubt Mr Gordon is aware of this, there will likely be enough differences to warrant a new project. After all, Mr Gordon is one of the main SDL people...

I'm using it daily to force ETQW, Prey (2006) and UT2k4 to use SDL2.

Everything moves on, SDL2 for example has vastly better multi-monitor support, which is incredibly painful on SDL1.2 (and yes, some games do still use it - One Hour One Life for example).

Quoting: GuestI'm a bit confused most likely because I'm very uneducated if it comes to SDL ^^"SDL1.2 hasn't been actively maintained for a long time, eventually with the switch over to Wayland and so on software using SDL1.2 might not even work.
Why is there any need for a compat tool? If I look up my package manager (YaST - Software Management) I can still install SLD 1.2 for older applications.

Quoting: Alm888"Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation (coming to Linux)" The Witcher III and Street Fighter V style. Yeah, sure. :S:TW3 only ever had those random banners on Steam, which neither the developer or Valve ever actually spoke of again, except to deny it all.
