Quoting: MohandevirBioshock Remastered works with texture issues (low rez?), but it's playable with good performances.

For the low res issues try the launch option:
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%

That does it. All that's left is a stuttering issue, but lowering the anisotropic filtering seems to be the solution.

Thanks!

Try also the latest beta SteamPlay (3.7-5 beta), where DXVK was upgraded to 0.70.
(You probably know/did this already, but is worth mentioning)

One thing I noticed about the anisotropic filtering is that settings above 4 add a certain (barely visible) artifacts on highly lit materials, so yes, I prefer myself lower settings.
I'm not sure about the stutter, what exactly eliminates/minimize it, but I'm incline to believe that you just have to stubbornly play for few minutes through all that stutter and eventually it will settle down,(regardless of the settings).

Quoting: dubigrasuNaive question, what's with the name Proton? Must be some reason behind this name. Just curious.

We've been working on this for a long time. We needed an internal codename we could use that wouldn't tip our hand if it leaked (so Wine puns are out), and that we wouldn't be embarrassed to continue using after release (sorry, BadgerBadgerBadger). A bunch of ideas were tossed around the CodeWeavers office one afternoon, and I ended up picking Proton because it's short, easy to remember, sounds cool, and is hard to Google for.

Quoting: somebody1121I tried the proton beta and DXVK_HUD tells that the version it's 0.64 not 0.70, it's odd.

What option for DXVK_HUD do I need to display the DXVK version? I tried "DXVK_HUD=1" and "DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps" but all they would display was the Nvidia driver version and the Vulkan version.

"DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version"

Quoting: richipSpeaking of SteamOS: Isn't Steam Play available on SteamOS? I've got the Steam client running on both Fedora Linux and a dedicated SteamOS machine, but I don't see the option to "enable Steam Play" for supported nor non-supported games.

On SteamOS, Steam Play is already enabled, but only for the supported titles.
You can enable the rest with:

Make sure you're using Steam Beta client.

Quoting: mylkahave you thought linux would ever have AAA titles like tomb raider or hitman?

...yes. During the first big wave of Linux gaming, starting around 2001, we had a bunch of great games, including some pretty big titles, years before Steam even existed.

Here are just a few of what I played back in the day: Civilization: Call to Power, Descent 1-III, Neverwinter Nights, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament (and 2003, and 2004), FreeSpace 2, Heretic II, Soldier of Fortune, Heroes of Might & Magic III, Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Majesty Gold, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Postal 1+2, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Railroad Tycoon II, Rune, Serious Sam: The First/Second Encounter, Sim City 3000 Unlimited, Sacred: Gold Edition, and more.

I still have most of my game discs, too. Some are Windows versions with binaries released after the fact, some are ports published specifically for Linux (usually by Loki or LGP), and some had the binaries on the disc alongside the Windows version.

The Sims was also available for Linux, ever so briefly, thanks to Transgaming's "WineX technology" (later renamed to "Cedega" ). They even bundled it with Mandrake Gaming Edition... Nobody remembers this shit but me?

I do remember. Speaking of Mandrake, there was also (more recently) a Mandriva edition bundled with Transgaming's Cedega and Flatout.

Quoting: chancho_zombiehey guys. Where does proton creates the bottles? I need to recreate the bottle to try without installing some dotnet cruft.
I guess all the games are 600mb fatter (that's what wine bottles take for system files)

According to my system Proton is 1.7Gb & the compdata folders for each game are 44Mb, instead of having a separate Wine bottle for each game they have one wine install that all games link to. Much better than a separate bottle for each game.

On my system games do have separated bottles, varying in size from 300MB to 1GB+.
