Quoting: KelvinhboI wish they would just make sure the game runs well with Proton instead of focusing resources on a native port that would surely be abandoned in a couple months.

If that's how you feel, why are you even using Linux? Go back to Windows.

Please stop that nonsense. I agree with your point that Linux releases should be supported, though sending someone away because he doesn't agree is really just a childish response.
There are lots of various reasons to use Linux and how to use Linux, all of them are valid and all of them should be accepted. You know, freedom and things..

Quoting: jensI admit, I could be wrong by a few years ;). Though I honestly think this is our best bet to break the current chicken and egg situation.

Unfortunately, I don't have a better one.
I just fear neither "No Tux, no bux" nor Proton worked out or will work out.

I have to admit that I'm not fully convinced either. I guess it would already be a miracle if Linux establishes the 2% again. That said I'm still consider it a miracle that I played GTA V from start to finish on Linux last year, so miracles do seem to happen occasionally ;)

Trouble is, it already is one year later and our percentage didn't budge.

On-topic: I hope Valve gets this right, I consider this point pretty important for me.

Quoting: EikeWhat people need to take into account

What does that actually mean, counting as Linux sale (if it works, that is). You'll be part of a pie chart that shows that you're a Linux customer, ok. I know some play games ported to Linux on Proton for different reasons, I'm not talking about those. But for games not ported, the developers and publishers will see: "Hey, we're selling to Linux players without even porting the game to Linux! So we're not even losing all those 1% of customers by not porting, some are buying nevertheless!"

Guess how this continues:
[ ] "Let's port to Linux to not lose the chance of way less than 1 percent of people buying our game."
[ ] "We don't need to port to Linux, they are buying our game nevertheless. And we don't need to support the people buying for Proton, we never promised them anything."

one year later:
[ ] "Wow, already 3% on Linux, may be we should ensure that our game updates at least didn't break it for them."
[ ] "Wow, already 3% on Linux, may be we should consider these 3% for our future games and not use any weird stuff that is known to break on Linux/Proton."

two years later:
[ ] "Wow, already 4% on Linux, may be we should get familiar with that platform and don't consider Linux users second class anymore. Who know's what's in it in the future."

five years later:

Quoting: The_AquabatAnother denuvo game that works is Sherlock Holmes the Devil's daughter.. Don't have time to test it extensively right now. Everything looks ok, but as with AK might have some unexpected crack countermeasures.

AK crashes in certain situations, with crash dump files and all, when e.g. using the hook. I wouldn't say this looks like a deliberate countermeasure, but just like the usual "something is still missing in Wine".

I can grapple the enemies but with objects it just doesn't grab/attach like the grapple fires but it's trying to scratch and attach and it just doesn't stick to anything. does the same happens to you??

at least for me it doesn't crash. I think that not everyone is experiencing the same thing.

it's not wine because on wine staging this doesn't happen the last time I tried.

Thanks for the extra info, interesting. I don't see this behavior on my machine. As soon as I'm pulling the trigger for the hook the picture freezes and a message box like https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/558#issuecomment-583743788 [External Link] appears.
I have to kill the game and on disk I'm finding crash dumps.

Yes, I also got it running on wine staging, though proton isn't based on wine staging, so some of the staging patches might be responsible, though dunno.

Quoting: PangaeaBut it's a weird one. Tried Witcher 3 with the 435 drivers, and it's way too dark. So I went back to the faulty 440, and started up the game after a restart, with nothing else running. The game ran well without any sound issues, for hours. Close down the game and boot up Firefox. Try to play music in VLC. Sound is fecked again. Stop sound, close down Firefox. Turn sound back on. Plays without any hickups. Even worked to start up again Firefox as long as the music was already playing.

That is very different than the issue I mentioned/I had. In my case there was no situation where the sound was somewhat normal, every sound output was broken. So please forget the links I posted ;)

Quoting: axredneck... and sound stopped working for me.

Previous driver also has broken audio on linux 5.5 for me. Try previous kernel version.

Seems to be some issue between the kernel audio driver and pulseaudio, due to the mst changes.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/issues/802 [External Link]

Actually found this thread when searching for this issue. Upgraded from 440.48 to 440.59 yesterday, and now the sound is all messed up. It plays, but it's scratchy and horrible. Don't know how I would roll back to 440.48 so I swapped over to 435 in Mint's Driver Manager. Now the sound is normal again.

Is there a solution to this while using the newest 440.59, and if not, how do I roll back to 440.48? It's probably better to stay on that instead of the 435.

Edit: I'm on the 5.3 kernel btw, as 5.5 isn't available in the repo.

Could it be that you got a kernel update yesterday too? In that case it might be that you are hitting a different issue: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204477 [External Link] and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1784839 [External Link]
This regression was introduced with kernel 5.3.16 and resolved with ~ 5.4.3. I had that issue on Fedora myself. That said my assumption is probably wrong if only the nvidia update broke your hdmi audio.

Very nice release, a bit unexpected for me, I thought Valve would wait for 5.2 like they did with Wine 4 ;)
Next to the actual improvements the git repositories for DXVK, Wine and I guess others are now properly rebased against upstream. This makes it much easier to see the changes Valve did since all downstream work is applied on top of upstream commits. This also make the DXVK version string useful again ;)

PS: Arkham Knight also crashes on my machine in certain situations like using the hook, though having it starting now is already a big improvement. Next big thing I'm hoping for is Read Dead Redemption 2...
