Quoting: Guesteeeee, just got done testing Killing Floor 2

No longer run into the issue where my game would crash if I tried to use server browser

Just been playing past hour or two and working great, big deal for me too because it's one of the main games I dual boot into windows for.. Definitely not going to have to boot into windows as much anymore ^^
What about the perk stats bug?

Quoting: mylkabut who needs bejeweled,....
Literally, my mom, a casual gamer of 70 years...
I activated an spare Bejeweled 3 code in her Steam account and it works as native.

Plus, several Hidden Objects games are not available for Linux, but they work as native via Proton..

Not all steam users are hardcore gamer nerds and I suppose that Valve want to cover all fronts, including casual gaming.

I was asking about the process in general..
Is Valve using contracted BETA testers? Volunteers?
Or is Codeweavers behind the whitelist process?

What I'm looking forward to now are Valve finding a way to deal with all those zero-byte updates and seeing how they advertise Steam Play on store pages.
I wonder that too...
And I am curious about their actual whitelist process.

Is good to see life signs from Proton devs after two weeks.

Quoting: DJVikingHave hell frozen over?
I never though EA would make any move towards Linux. Along with Bethesda and Blizzard they have been utterly hostile against Linux. For them it is all about the money.
Exactly. Linux is Free of charge vs Microsoft eventually will charge companies for to be inside their walled garden:

Quoting: MicrosoftSo.. I see You want to earn a lot money using MY POPULAR Operative System.
Quoting: EAYes... So what?
Quoting: MicrosoftSo, You have to pay Me if you want your game running inside MY POPULAR walled garden.
If You don't, your game will not be able to get installed and run..
Your game must be available for sale and download exclusively on the Windows store and you have to pay Me a big cut of the cake.
Quoting: EA#$%@#!!!!
...EA need a plan B, just like Valve did with their Proton initiative.
