Philip, could you say me what are you gain from Wizzard when you help Wine users to play their games? Blizzard sell games and make benefits from them, do you have some arrangements with Blizzard ?

Steam team made big progress for Far Cry 3, the game is now considered as "Silver". It's not perfect yet, you have to disable Uplay overlay and the game did not exit cleanly, you have to kill manually Uplay and some other process. But with Proton 3.16-8 the game is playable in Directx11 mode.

Quoting: torbidoI use Dgvoodoo2 WIP57 >>> http://www.dege.freeweb.hu/ [External Link] which translate older DirectX versions to DX10 or DX11. That could help running older games that don't run well on Wine.

DgVoodoo 2 works recently well when you use Wine with DXVK, I use it to play Starship Titanic in fullscreen with Wine.
But it's not open source and it has less options than DxWnd.

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 [External Link]. 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

I tried to install a Gog game with Lutris, works very well.
Lutris became a "must to have" for Linux gamers with this new major version.

This method works very well for Sony on Playstation.

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 [External Link]
$ 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.
