Quoting: CybolicThanks. Yeah, that sure is a minor fix and unrelated to what I was hoping for.
And what are you hoping for?
For me one feature that miss in Wine are the Windows media player components compatibility: a lot of games devs had the worse idea to use Windows Media player component in all their cinematics so they can not play in Wine (Age of empire II, Darksiders etc...).
I know Wine team is working on this, but it will probably be a long way to implement this...

PlayOnLinux has a new alpha release out with an overhaul of the interface

Quoting: TheSHEEEPOof... Can't they just join forces with Lutris and produce something that actually works?

PlayOnLinux hasn't worked well for me in years since it is so outdated in actual game scripts.
Lutris doesn't even manage to install Steam Wine correctly, so that it freezes at startup due to the script somehow messing up the 32/64bit versions.

I was kinda hoping POL would go the way of the dodo and more people would join the Lutris project, since that does seem way more promising (partly due to NOT being limited to linux).
I used POL for several years, not for their scripts (as for Lutris, scripts are obsolete too fast) but to manage easier Wine prefix and others tweaks/operation.

And POL is not limited to Linux, but there is a version for Macosx too.
I'm not as sure as you that Lutris is more promising than POL, we have here two big challenger and you don't have to choose only one of them, you can use the two, like I do.

I don't understand his reaction, does he overreact?
Anyway thank you for your great apps (sc-controller and wine controller dll), I regurlarly use them, hope to see you soon in the Linux community.

Valve launched a dynamic on the Linux platform that others actors can not ignore. Good to see that.

I didn't think "retro" style gaming would find a second breath and interest from gamers.
I'm absolutely interesting by this game.

Valve have updated the Beta of Steam Play which fixes VR games, fullscreen improvements and more

This two games could be Whitelisted:
Darksiders
Dark Souls
but cinematics does not play.
On Wine you have to install wmp9, but it is not possible to install it with Proton, because Proton uses 64 bits prefix and you can not install wmp9 on 64 bits Wine prefix.
I can not wait for Steam to add "Windows Media Player codecs" Proton compatible feature.

Quoting: YaumeisterIs there anyway to force Steam to download the Windows version of a game (911 Operator), rather than a broken and now unsupported Linux version?

I tried to do this via SteamCMD, which I managed to force download it, but as soon as I launch the Steam Client, it does an update and download the Linux version.
Meanwhile they add this feature (there is already an issue opened on github about this one), you have to use Steam in a wiine prefix.
