I changed my Wine usage setting due to Proton
Should we differentiate between Wine & Proton/Steamplay now?
Cheers

Should have read the earlier comments lol

Dealing with all sorts of amusing illnesses in Two Point Hospital, my thoughts

I've also been enjoying this game.
I briefly played Theme Hospital many years ago but never really got into it.
I've only had one issue with it and I haven't had it happen again:
When I got the starting hospital up to 3 stars, I went through the "awards ceremony" and immediately went to save and quit. The game started obsessively writing to swap (still lots of RAM) which slowed IO down and, as a result, system responsiveness. I had to move to a terminal and forcibly kill the process.

Quoting: Avehicle7887396.45Quoting: WoodlandorOddly enough, for me, Doom works perfectly with the OpenGl 4.5 renderer.Since you're using a GTX 760, which driver version are you running? It shouldn't matter much since the game is already a couple years old and Vulkan didn't have as many extensions back then but you never know, it's the first place I'd start.
With the Vulkan renderer, the lighting doesn't seem to work.
Haven't quite figured that one out yet.

For those having trouble getting this to work, 2 things:
1) A re-released update came about 15 minutes after the first (check for steam updates)
2) I had to restart my computer (log-out and back in would probably suffice)
Now I can install the selected white-listed games I own, and the Settings menu no longer Seg-Faults the Steam client.
Hope that helps
Cheers!

Sunless Sea looks like it may get an official Linux build, game looks creepy & awesome

I emailed the developer quite a few weeks ago and they provided me with a link to download the alpha version for Linux.
I just recently received an email from them with instructions to access the beta build directly through Steam. That sort of surprised me... I guess they actually keep track of who is testing the game and provided direct notification for updates :O
I've never had the game crash since I began playing/testing the Linux build. The latest update fixed some issues with some of the settings menus (which were semi-unusable, but easy to set graphics settings etc. through the games config files). There are still a few minor graphic issues and text alignment/layout problems but they are few and far between. I haven't come across any game-breaking bugs, just minor aesthetic quirks.
Good game, very interesting and well written.

Somehow I ended up with this game in my Library... don't remember buying it.
Not my normal cup of tea, but I'll give it a shot and see.

Road Redemption Could See A Linux Release In The Next Two Weeks

I know.... I know... don't pay for a title before the Linux client is actually released. But these guys are quite reputable.

Quoting: evergreenHappy to see they mantained their promised port! ... and happy 'cause I already pledged it on kickstarter!I supported it on Kickstarter as well. Rarely throw money at a Kickstarter project, but I have very fond memories of playing the Road Rash series on Sega consoles (yes I'm that old :) ) and the promise of Linux support sealed the deal.

If I won a match on the twitch live steam against Samsai and other viewers in Xonotic... does that entitle me to a key? ;)
