What deals Linux fans should look out for this weekend

By the way, Killing Floor 2 is FREEtoPLAY until this Sunday..
Is the perfect opportunity for to do a free protonic testing.
On my machine (i7 4790K/ GTX 970 Ubuntu 16.04.6) it works out of the box.

Mesa 19.1 is officially out plus NVIDIA 430.26 is available now

The last time I was unable to boot my machine with the driver 430.14 ¬¬
I hope this time the driver works... But, you know the Ubuntu ppa guys..

Stop and smell the Rosé, Wine 4.10 is out

At the same time there is a recent Protonic [External Link] activity...
Maybe is related.

Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary, the (currently) free DLC is out, but not for Linux yet

Quoting: GuestAnother way is to put d3d9.dll from D9VK next to the game executable, and then modify his launch options as follows:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=n" DXVK_HUD=fps %command%
(DXVK_HUD=fps is also to make sure it is using d9vk)
Each way has his pros and cons
See also here, because it doesn't start with proton without a little modification:

Thank you for the tip! It works with other games too, like Murdered Souls suspect in Dx9 mode.

The latest Humble Monthly seems like a good deal for Linux + Steam Play (two early unlocks)

Steam Play Proton 4.2-6 is out, DXVK rebuilt for increased performance

Quoting: morbius
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMurdered Soul suspect still crash when entering the cemetery.
Here is what I wrote in commentary when rating this game on protondb:

You have to add -dx9 (in lower caps) in the 'set launch options...' in the game properties window, otherwise it will freeze in the cut scene when entering the cemetery.
I know, but the game in Dx9 mode looks horrible, with missing textures... Maybe someday it will work via D9VK.

Steam Play Proton 4.2-6 is out, DXVK rebuilt for increased performance

Murdered Soul suspect still crash when entering the cemetery.

Steam Play updated again to 4.2-5 to include newer DXVK, networking and controller fixes
7 Jun 2019 at 12:49 am UTC

And a NEW version of PROTON [External Link] is here!
4.2-6:

More fixes for the new Steam networking API. A Hat In Time's online multiplayer should be functional now.
DXVK 1.2.1 has been rebuilt with a modern compiler. This should increase performance especially for 32-bit games. (Note, if you build Proton yourself in Vagrant, you will want to make clean and vagrant provision to take advantage of the new compiler; or simply destroy and re-create the VM.)
Update FAudio to 19.06.
Fix for more games on non-English locales, like GRID.
Fix controller rumble in some games, including Team Sonic Racing.
Improve font rendering in SpellForce 3.
