Quoting: g000hI wanted to play a game demo, which was available on Windows, not Linux, and the client wouldn't let me get it (Platform not supported). So I decided to revert the setting above....

Well the game demo is now available, BUT... (it's a big BUT) ... Steam client will attempt to redownload all your Proton titles again (arrgggghhhhh). I jumped in and clicked on the "X" don't download buttons - but guessing that I'll be forced to re-download those titles (Don't know for sure, but not looking forward to the PC being out of action while I wait for all these downloads to finish).

Anyone have advice on this?

Yes. Make backups of the protonic games before messing with the Steamplay settings.

And It is highly recommended to have the protonic library folder on a separated partition/disk...

So, You can unmount the protonic partition/disk before opening the steam client for to messing with the steamplay settings...
Once you are done with the Steamplay settings, you can mount the protonic partition and add the library folder again.

That is what I do and I never had to re-download any protonic game.

What's the deal with the Metro games? Do they run better with proton or something?

Yes. Metro run MUCH better via forced Proton.

Quoting: liamdaweAnd yes, if you're reporting something as Platinum yet you've used tweaks - that's not Platinum.

Depends of your concept of "tweaks".
For me, a tweak is when I have to manually edit, delete or create some file after the game prefix was created or if I have to install something via console winetricks commands, and that wasn't the case of any of my reports.

Putting something here

for me is not a tweak.
But it can be a requirement:
If you want to play Alan Wake with Latinamerican spanish audio, you NEED to put -locale=esm

Anyway, the PROTONDB ratings system is subjective....
For me a game works fine or it doesn't.

Quoting: GuestHow did you write reports for native games?

You have to do it manually with the usual steps.
Example:


Here, You put the Game ID of the native game you want to report..


In this example We gonna put 203160, the ID of Tomb Raider.



Ignore the warning, and continue with your report.

Quoting: ageresThat stupid Steam deleted some big files from several Windows games, and now I have to redownload gigabytes. For example, 9 GB for Hitman 2.

You have to take precautions as I did, like making backups of protonic games.

But I didn't have that problem, because my steam library is on another disk. I just unmounted it before opening steam and changing the Steamplay configs..
Once I have the Steamplay config I want, I mount the disk again and I add the library folder again, and all my downloaded games are magically there.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoLife is Strange IS an indie game. [External Link]....

I have no comment on the multiple accounts in Steam issue.

I just wanted to point out that what you linked to is the very definition of not being an indie game. "Indie," from a purely technical viewpoint, means that the developer and the producer/publisher are the same company. The game was developed and produced in an independent manner. In actuality, the intended definition of "indie" means that the producer/publisher was not one of the big video game publishers that produce games using many different developers (that is, even if the development for the particular game involved was done in house by a big publisher, that doesn't really make the game "indie"). Since the developer is a separate company from the producer/publisher of the game, and Square Enix definitely is one of the big video game producers, this game is not an "indie" game in any way, shape, or form.

I agree with the technical definition.
But "Indie" is also used for low budget.

Painkiller Hell & Damnation via PROTON 3.16-6...
No performance gain versus the port because is a DX9-»OpenGL game.
To bad this game doesn't have DX11 mode.
