They can do it , at least they did it for Mac with Metal.

If they don't want to invest so much , they can also take route of Wine+DXVK wrapped solution for their old titles.

Quoting: M@GOidIf my experience with Proton means something, Feral is pretty safe. Unless Proton magically hits Gallium 9 levels of performance, their ports will always be better.

And I still keep my promise of "no tux, no bux".
While i'm also keeping No tux , no bucks , with Proton i kinda loosen it up a bit.

For games that is certain to not get Linux ports ( like Skyrim , Doom etc ) , i'm just waiting for sales. Since they are coming to me in a semi-official way now , Valve will provide some kind of support. So , why not?

Witcher 3 being first , many Unity games included. Also Quake Champions.
Amen to that!
So is Q:C working good in Proton now? Last time I tried it, couldn't even connect to the servers

Also is it safe? The game defintely uses a form of anti-cheat and could possibly detect proton as cheating and don't wanna get myself banned

Would be great to have it working under linux as I've been playing Q:C alot lately on my windows install
No , Proton can't connect servers until they update their runtime.

You can play it with either doing some symlinking or with normal Wine now.

Quoting: legluondunetAssassin's Creed 1 Director's Cut finally launches in dx10 mode without any tweak, just launch the game and play!
It should be soon whitelisted.
Can you confirm it works with DXVK?
It just works with Proton 3.16, it launches the directx10 version per default.
You can verify that DXVK is active with add this in the Steam game launch option:
DXVK_HUD=version,devinfo,fps %command%
I'm just asking that can you see DXVK HUD with that launch option.

I'm already playing AC1 via DXVK since D3D10 ( 0.72 i guess ) support added to it. But it needs d3dcompiler_43 which is a prop MS compiler that you can't distribute with Wine. So i wonder if it really works with DXVK or Wine's own OGL implementation.

My AC1 is GOG version so i need that confirmation.

Quoting: g000hI'm a long term Debian user, and I use it properly... i.e. I install the packages from the regular repositories so that my system doesn't get messed up. I have tried backports and all sorts of things in the past, but generally find that forcing a later graphics driver onto the system ends up borking it.
I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm on Mint, but it's only offering me 340.107 and 390.48 so I'd rather stick to that. Didn't someone say that the newer drivers were only necessary for Vulkan games anyway, or something along those lines?
I'm on Mint too but i'm using 396.54.05. Didn't cause me so much trouble.

New drivers are needed for DXVK's sake in general which also affects SteamPlay.

Just add graphics ppa and you're ready to install driver via gui.
DXVK 0.81 is out with better performance for 32bit builds, minor CPU overhead reduction and more

The level of work going into DXVK is seriously impressive.
If I'm not mistaken, there were about 30 commits for that +0.01 upgrade, from 0.80. Perhaps not roadmap-worthy stuff, but still a boatload of work it seems.
Critical part in that release is #665.

Best part of it:

Minor reduction of CPU overhead (I know it's getting boring, but I swear I'm telling the truth!)
