Quoting: rkfgI have a feeling that as SteamPlay becomes more and more reliable this situation will become common. I wonder what Valve would do if anything at all.

I hardly think that they pulled the native Linux build due to SteamPlay when you need a custom build of Proton to make it work.

Eh, it *will* work through SteamPlay. Good enough for the Linux folks.

Well if "not working properly" is what they deem good enough for Linux folks then I still don't see how they would not have played this card without SteamPlay.

It won't work on current Proton because it ships a slightly outdated Wine version. When they switch to a newer Wine NS2 will work fine (except for the issues I've described). For now there's a big memory leak in one of the Wine-provided functions, quoting the developer:

The wine maintainers fixed the issues related to us (or better Luajit) using the 64 bit zero bit offset with NTAllocMemory with the release of 4.14
You need a custom proton build which is already based on wine 4.14

Which was exactly my point ;-)

Quoting: F.UltraWill be testing Resident Evil 4 and Remnant: From the Ashes this weekend.

Remnant is great! I've played multiple playthroughs (20+ hours) and the only issues with Proton I know of is the character model not showing on the main menu, and having to launch with PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%
I had maybe 2 loading screen crashes total, but that seems to happen on Windows as well.

Apparently some people had their saves corrupted so I made sure to manually backup mine, never had an issue with it tho.

Hope there's more content coming soon, as the game is pretty short.

Yea it's one hell of a game. Hard as nails though (10 hours in and have just come to the root mother). Haven't experienced any crashes yet so I'm feeling lucky!

haven't tested RE4 yet, but RE5, RE7 and revelations 1 and 2 all of them work, RE7 needs the media foundation fix [External Link].

They do? I didn't purchase them (the complete resident evil franchise have a Steam Sale right now) since only 4 seams to work without lots of workarounds and problems according to protondb.com. You should upload your info for those there!

Quoting: sub"Watt.hour^-1" is "Watt per hour" and totally doesn't make sense.
Then again Watt x hour is energy not power.
I don't get that bubble. :D

Quoting: Zeloxis this legal :D?

Yes, the copyright covers the source code of the game engine (which they don't use since they have built a completely new one from scratch) and the assets (which they also don't use since you are required to read them from the original game).

Won't Rockstar DMCA-nuke this into the ground ??

It requires you own the original game to play it, so they shouldn't be able to do anything. If they do and they manage to succeed, it would put basically any other similar project in a grey area: openXcom, OpenMW, OpenRA and so on.

DMCA-nuke actually means threatening with so much legal shit without even going legal, that even if you are right, it does not really matter. There are 2 ways you can defend against that: comply, or money up for the actual legal defense.
Now seriously: who is going to invest so much time and money into a legal war, just to be able to program it.

They would have zero standing with such a case since none of Rockstars copyright (The 'C' in DMCA) can be infringed with a rewrite of their game engine. They would have to prove that these guys somehow had gotten access to the source code of the original engine or that they shipped Rockstars assets (which they don't since you are required to own the original game since this new engine reads those files).

Glad to see that they still keep supporting the game. Just hoping that they one day will fix the game breaking bugs, e.g I'm currently since a year back stuck in one of the last levels of The Following where the game crashes as soon as I get too far up in the grainary.
