Quoting: hardpenguinMeanwhile I am here with a couple of niche games using D3D8 that are currently crashing in Wine :S:

For games using directx < 9 that does not work well with Wine, I use DxWnd. This soft works very well with wine, I regurlary use it with wine when a game crashes (old directx version) or to put game fullscreen in a wine window.
Works well for this games with wine:
Motoracer 1 et 2
Virtua Fighter
Syberia
Starwars episode 1 Racer
Splinter Cell

Quoting: massatt212how do you install the Beta on Arch ?

This is the method I use, in a terminal, type:
$ git clone https://github.com/lutris/lutris.git
$ cd lutris/bin
$ ./lutris

and for update, open a terminal:
$ cd lutris
$ git pull

This last year I neglect my Playonlinux client for Lutris. Lutris evolves so quickly, so nice new features this last months. I ask myself if there is a big sponsor in the sliding door...Gog?

For my point of view it doesn't matter if game is native, Winised, Protonised. And soon we could play cloud gaming too, playing game without to install it whatever the platform. The only thing matter: play game you want without to tweak it during hours.

The so long awaited feature: install Windows games version instead of Linux native ones is here!!!
This issue on Github is a long long discussion to read, where a lot of users complains about games Linux ports that are not maintained anymore:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5638
Native Linux games seems to get old badly.
Now we can even compare games performance between native port/Wine+DXVK.
And finally now you can choose the Proton version per game!
What I miss now is Media Player support to play games cinematics. Without them games are less immersive.

Quoting: Guest@legluondunet : you need to check "force compositing pipeline" in the nvidia-settings and save to xorg.conf.
Yes I know but why it is not activated by default? Windows users does not have this bug by default. Even if I activate "force compositing pipeline", the result is not very satisfying: the video now not playing fluid.
