What is the practical use of PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE

Will that option help with Bioshock 2 crashes?

Quoting: ThormackGuys, could you recommend some nice free-to-play windows games?

Never used Proton before and don't want to buy win games just for testing.
You have A LOT of games to try for FREE.. Right now these games came to my mind:

Free TO play:
Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. [External Link]

Games with DEMO version for to download and play on Proton:
Shadow of the Tomb Raider [External Link]
Prey [External Link]
Dishonored 2 [External Link]
DOOM [External Link]
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus [External Link]
Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ [External Link] (According to Proton changelog [External Link], it works with 3.16-6 version)

Just go to the Steam DEMO section [External Link], take your time and search... you can make a lot of Protonic experiments for Free.

VK9, the project that aims to support Direct3D 9 over Vulkan has hit another milestone
17 Dec 2018 at 11:48 pm UTC

This project can improve performance on low spec hardware....
And I suppose old games like Still Life can finally work...
And Crysis. Don't forget Crysis.. Try to play that game via Proton with a modest hardware!

I wish Valve support this...
This project can give Proton the proper retro compatibility/performance for heavy weight DX9 games.
