Sweet! Google Earth VR (if you guys have never played with it) is freaking awesome!

So it has an implementation of Street View, but since it's like taking a flat map and making it 3D it's warped as hell, and looks much like the first Silent Hill game...

Also grabbing the earth and flying over it is pretty awesome.

Quoting: NanobangHo. Lee. Fuck.

I've been on vacation for a week where the wireless was so shite I just gave up trying. This morning I read about Steam Play and Proton, so I'm just now arriving to the dumbstruck party.

This is the bridge we've been needing to get past the "small market share vs. more AAA titles" issue. This will let the Windows escapees leave at last. This will let me buy and play many titles (Nier: Automata, por exemplo) without feeling guilty about it counting as a Windows sale.

This is the biggest news to hit Linux gaming since Valve announced SteamOS.

I feel like I'm gonna cry.

They are going to get so much money from me in the coming year.

I was going to say this is the first time Wine has been incorporated into a commercial product, but I guess that's not true, since there are several wrapped binaries out there, and Crossover's stuff.

But yeah, pretty exciting. I need faster bandwidth, then I'd help testing with my decently sized library. But unfortunately it took me hours to download Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and it wouldn't even start. 51GB download for nothing...

Quoting: GuestLooks indeed quite impressive. Too bad that while I definitely like RPGs a lot, I'm not too fond of party-based ones :o

But, as others wrote already: We do have a hell of a choice nowadays. Something for everyone ;)

What's wrong with party based games? Just wondering your opinion on them. I think some of the greatest RPGs ever released were party based.

You know what's fun (sarcastically)? When you try to get together with friends to play Neverwinter Nights and they try to play it like it's Diablo....

Quoting: dudevery nice RPG. I played it for 17 hours, then came Pillars of eternity 2, then came some other games before Dead Cells and then Steamplay.. wtf

Yeah, I've gotten to a point where I have so many games I don't know what to play anymore. I think I'm going to try to concentrate on playing BT1. Never got around to beating it when it originally came out, and we should be getting BT4 soon-ish.

Quoting: MayeulC

Quoting: jardonController issues

Interesting to read that your controller works with BP but not with games. Is your system updated? What distribution? Have you tried another one [or a Steam flatpak]? What kernel version? Have you tried both with and without the Steam Runtime? Did you disable the Steam overlay? Did you open an issue on Valve's Github? Is it a nonstandard controller?

That's all I can think of in the top of my head :)

Forgot to check
ls -l /dev/uinput
I've found if those permissions aren't right, most games won't work but BP will.

Holy crap we're getting a ton of great RPGs! Don't even have time to play them all...

I'm still hoping we'll get a native build of The Bard's Tale Remastered, but it does work in Proton.

This one looks awesome.

Quoting: jardonAm I the only one that hasnt gotten a controller to work in any proton game? In general my controller(s) working is hit or miss. I've tried 360 controllers, PS4, and Steam controllers. They are always recognized and working in steam but only a couple of games work with them. I dont really know what to do as I seem to be the outlier here.

I had difficulties getting a controller to work properly with DSPtDE, but using a PS3 controller with xboxdrv worked. If you've tried xboxdrv and it didn't help I can't really help you. Maybe antimicro can help, although it will be janky as all get out.

I used my Mayflash F300 to play Tekken 7 without any issues. My normal go to controller is a Steam Controller though, haven't really tried it in any Steam Play games yet though.

Quoting: richipHow do I use Steam Play to play Windows-only games? Does it only start (not necessarily work) for officially approved games? I've got the Steam client Beta running on Linux (fedora) but don't see an option to start Windows games. Nor do I see icons that indicate a game is Steam Play compatible (I looked at Doom and Lego Marvel's Avengers and there's not Steam Play icons anywhere to be found).

Make sure you close it and open it back up to see if there are any updates. I think someone else mentioned they had to disable the beta which will restart it, then enable the beta again.

Maybe I'm going to be the first that dares to add the Windows steam library location, it's trying to sync things, hopefully this doesn't blow up in my face :P

Edit: Looks like it still does the stupid thing where it re-downloads the entire thing...

I don't know if Trine meets your croteria for a franchise, but all 3 of the trilogy is for Linux. Damn fun I might add.
