It's possible for your proton versions to get corrupted, I had to PURGE proton entirely from my system and start again because steam was getting confused about installing it correctly and I had pre-existing broken proton files around the place.

Also proton doesn't like running directly from NTFS drives, you need to symlink compat data folder (as per wiki instructions).

Quoting: NeoTheFoxThis, right here, is why I'm a Steam loyalist. GOG may be DRM free, but they sure are useless for Linux

Well you can add in any GOG game and run it via proton via the in steam shortcut system, it works for the most part but be warned it creates invalid game paths initially and you must go into the shortcut and select target again.

The main problem I have with GOG is that some games have disabled features because the developers want a authentication method to enable them (ie NMS multiplayer). So you get a inferior product on GOG with some titles, GOG need to add that feature into Galaxy quickly and also release it for Linux/Mac users.

Some people seem to think by sniffing their own farts and acting all high and mighty by not buying anything that isn't native linux will somehow change the situation for linux gamers...I'm here to tell you, IT WON'T

Until Linux gets a PLAYER BASE of %5-10, the majority of developers will not care. So I say just play what you want, how you want, regardless of native support. If anything that will get us to that %5-10 faster and only THEN will developers start releasing more natives.

Essentially when it comes to Linux, the chicken(player) comes first. Then eventually developers (egg) will come later. No amount of soap box fart sniffing will change that!

I was going to get this until I realised it has like 100 DLC's for $204 or something, if they ever have a COMPLETE pack for sale, like 90% I'd consider it.

I think there are linux exclusive games available. Seems people only get upset when its hugely anticipated title, otherwise they just couldn't gaf...

Finally a positive move by the Epic storm team...

But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have announced linux support if google didn't mention they were using it for their gaming platform.. either way its a small win for tux.

Yeah I was hoping for %125 or maybe %150 scaling.

Quoting: Boldos

Quoting: aristoriasCan the app finally support HiDPI? It is a real pain to use that thing on a 4K monitor ...

Steam client can scale it's GUI on 4K currently.

It actually scales too big on my 4k screen, I only want a %25-50 scaling increase. That is whats missing, atm it seems to do a %100 enlargement and is a bit overboard...


Also what EPIC is doing is called poaching, there not making developers come there way out of goodness of their heart. They are offering up millions to go EPIC store exclusive where there was no plan to before. Poaching.
