More BattlEye titles for Proton on Linux including DayZ, ARMA 3 now supported

Quoting: GeoGalvanicI can't even begin to imagine testing out that many games, especially re-testing every new release of proton

I don't. Well, I did, but I don't retest.

It's more like, when I have a new game, I try to run it, if it doesn't I categorize it as "CrashesOnProton" and try later. Nowadays I usually check protondb.com first before I buy, but sometimes I buy bundles from HumbleBundle, and then this happens. I also submitted a lot to protondb.

Also, I did some work with wine, so I was actually specifically interested to have some windows games for testing. https://github.com/Seegras/wine it's completely behind master now, and the stuff I worked on would need to be totally reworked, as wine has completely changed the way internal dlls are supposed to work. It's this code, by the way: https://github.com/Seegras/wine/tree/master/dlls/xlive (the wine project didn't want it in main ... thinking of it, maybe proton would like it, especially since GWFL is discontinued now?).

That latest proton upgrade lead to 30 more titles running out of my 152 that weren't running with proton before. It's now down to 121 (out of my 1915 games or thereabouts that aren't Linux-native).

I might be able to get some of these 121 to run (11 of them want Windows Live, so xliveless would help), I just didn't bother yet.

Quoting: seegrasIf I can't crosscheck whether I already have it on steam, it's too much a hassle.

....you can't login to gog.com and view what games are in your library?

I've got 600 games on gog.com, ca 1000 on itch.io and 4500 on steam. And especially when it comes to bundles or specials, it gets too much a hassle to crosscheck.

Edit: it's actually 947 games on gog.com and 5008 on steam.

And I have no idea how many on itch, because they don't tell me, but I bought the "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality" which consists of 30 items on 58 pages plus one item (=1741), of which I don't know how many are computer games (many are TTRPGs or LARP-settings) and I also bought some single items over time.

I mostly stopped buying from other stores (except itch.io; and the rare DOS-game on gog) simply because I lost the overview on what I already have.

If I can't crosscheck whether I already have it on steam, it's too much a hassle.

Minecraft Dungeons arrives on Steam and works well on Linux with Proton GE

I'm biased , but the name "Dungeons" in the title makes me want NOT play that game.

(Well, not actually, but I still think this is more "Diablo" than "Minecraft").

Co-op spaceship command and exploration game PULSAR: Lost Colony is out now

Works nicely, but I can't start private servers, only public ones. So I ended up playing with some random people which worked out pretty good.

Didn't try it with VR yet.

That helmet with these shoulders and the breast plate... It hurts.

Yes I know it's fantasy, but pseudo-16th century shoulders and a pseudo-15th century breastplate might work, but NEVER with a pseudo-13th century helmet. And the short-sleeved chain-mail is also as stupid as it gets.

The "sword" is also a lot of eye-damage.

What have you been tapping play on recently? Let us know

Cloudpunk (proton) Which is actually nice and doesn't crash every 30mins like Cyberpunk 2077.

Minecraft Seaopolis mod Progression is quite nice, endgame (last dozen quests) starts to draw and suck.

System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard

The numpad isn't that interesting but without properly placed ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn and the arrow keys, it's unusable. Even worse: ANSI. I want an ISO return-key (the 180° turned L-shaped one).

The weight is quite ok for its size, I use a Turtle Beach Impact 100 right now, that one is 1250g (and it's great).
