It seems like the highest tier also includes "Overgrowth Secret Preorder Forum (SPF) access" (in form of a special link).

While they're not as committed as other companies (e.g. Valve) to supporting Linux (see GoG Galaxy) they do support Linux (During the "pay a few bucks and get a random game" they gave refunds to Linux users if they got a Windows game. There are also several reports of them helping developer porting or packaging their games for Linux). Also I do respect their stance on DRM. So I wish them all the best, would be sad if they had to close their store.

Quoting: etonbears

Quoting: torbidoWhen I add non steam game, where is the prefix of these games?

Each version of Proton is a management wrapper for Steam-Installed games using a specific version of Wine ( including extension libraries/patches etc ).

As you probably know, each Steam-Installed game is identified by a unique integer number; Proton creates/uses a Wine prefix for each game as a directory named for that unique integer, in the "compatdata" directory of the Steam games library you choose to install in.

I do not think Proton is capable of doing this for non-Steam games, so a non-Steam game will use the wine prefix you chose when installing that game. If you make no wineprefix choice, the default is "~/.wine/".

Note that it is generally better to install each non-steam game to a different wine prefix, since games often have conflicting configuration needs. i.e. Configuring one game may break another if they share a wineprefix.

Hope that helps.

Actually, Steam does create a folder in your compatdata (~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/ or ~/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/) for non-steam games. The folder's name is a number. I don't know how that number is determined though.

Quoting: Jack_BlackFor those interested, have fun by testing it and maybe it is even the author of this site a look and article worth ;).

If you haven't already done so you can send Liam (the owner of this site) a message to let him know.

Apparently GNOG does have a Linux download (it isn't marked as a Linux game on it's store page). If you try to start the game through Steam it will complain about not finding an .exe file, starting it directly from the installation folder does work. I tried playing it for a minute or so and it seemed to work fine.

I hope the steam library rework will include functionalities similar to https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam [External Link] which supports things like filtering games by tags or features and combining or excluding filters. It's a real trouble to find e.g. all local co-op/multiplayer games when you have a big library.

The original Medieval is still called Medieval: Total War. I wonder why they didn't change that one too

Quoting: NanobangWeird. I couldn't remember this game being released, so I did a quick search at Steam, and nothing came up acually called "Silver." Silver Frame, Silver Tale, Silver Island, Silver Grapple, Silver Bullet: Prometheus, (and on the web: Silver Creek Falls (Chapters 1,2, & 3)), but no just Silver. Do you suppose it's a regional thing?

This would be it's store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/606680/Silver/ [External Link]
Does that link work for you?

I hope they don't let Proton fall too far behind normal Wine :/ (though I guess it's still ok as long as it's not behind Wine Stable).
Apparently they already plan [External Link] to update :)
