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 [External Link]
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.

A must to to have for Linux gamers.

The fighting game Fantasy Strike just had a sweet update, taking another look
22 Dec 2018 at 9:20 pm UTC

Tested and approved:

- nice graphics and colors
- nice music
- nice and original fighters
- multiplayer (for linux too)
- Linux version and support: I asked for support on the Steam forum and the dev answered me quickly

We have not a lot of fighting games on Linux, but this one worth the price (11 € during winter sales).

Valve have one more Steam Play update out before the end of 2018 with 3.16-6
22 Dec 2018 at 11:08 am UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: medve
Quoting: ThormackGuys, could you recommend some nice free-to-play windows games? Never used Proton before and don't want to buy win games just for testing.
Get LEGO: LotR [External Link] for free in the next 12 hours. You can keep it permanenty.
Not a good idea for a "Proton Beginner": launch the game, show the logo screen then crashed.
You have to install directx9 with winetricks in the Proton game prefix...
Thormack take a look at this database:
https://www.protondb.com [External Link]
to know if a game is Proton compatible.

There's a brand new Steam Play Beta version out with FAudio, also a Steam Play whitelist update
12 Dec 2018 at 11:22 pm UTC

Quoting: wvstolzingI gave in to my curiosity, and downloaded the whole thing ... but AssCreed 1 still doesn't work. I wonder how the folks on youtube got it to work.
Works very well here in directx10 mode with DXVK. Are you using the last Proton beta? Are you using the correct Nvidia drivers? (or MESA if you own an AMD GPU, see requirements here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Requirements) [External Link]
First thing to do: uninstall and reinstall the game.

Happy to see new improvements for Proton. As soon Proton will know how to play wma/wmv, a lot of Windows games could be whitelisted (Darksiders, Dark Souls, Age of Empire 2 HD, Final Fantasy XIV....)

Very original game, derogatory and funny. Thanks for the dev team that ported it to Linux and I hope I could play the new version on Linux.
