Quoting: GuestWhat happens if i buy a game today on windows, play with proton and next month a linux native port is made? who will take the money?

My understanding was that Feral gets their share as soon as they have officially announced a port, not before. I also guess that this applies only when buying on Linux and not playing on Windows in the first two weeks.

Would love to know too how this would work with Steam Play now.

Quoting: ageresI thought games are more compatible with Proton rather than Wine+DXVK. But it turns out the opposite is true. I just tried Batman: AK with Wine Staging 3.15 and DXVK 0.72, and it works! The performance isn't too good though, about 30-50 fps with drops. I had 60-80 on Windows with max graphics settings, twice better. Well, at least I don't have to deal with Windows anymore to play my favourite games, GTA V and B:AK. Thank you YoRHa-2B for this.

Performance is actually pretty good on my machine, even with using the latest official short term driver (396.54), though I don't know what I would get on Windows. Using 396.54.05 (https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver) should further improve performance. Please also make sure that you CPU governor is set to "Performance".

Quoting: YoRHa-2BYes, it renders correctly on RADV.

Thanks for the confirmation, even more impressive. Fortunately I have to wait a bit until the NVidia z-thingie fix lands in Fedora, assuming that this fixes the black spots. ;) But once that has happened, and with the knowlegde that I buy for Linux, I don't think I can withstand the temptation to buy this game when no word or hint from Feral has been heard about a port from their side. I realize of course that Feral isn't probably the one holding a port back so no blame there.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoLet's see the performance of the game running with Proton...

~86% of Windows D3D11 on my system, with some stutter here and there (but I've seen worse). Certainly playable.

Very impressive.
Not considering the Nvidia z-fighting issue, is the game visually identical between Linux and Windows? I mean, if you max out/enable all settings, does it look the same on Linux as on Windows without any distortions or glitches?

Quoting: ageresWait, Batman: Arkham Knight works on Linux with DXVK? It didn't when I tried and is rated "Borked" at SPCR [External Link].

It won't start on Proton since the launcher requires .Net 452. Once it starts by either modifying your Proton prefix* or by using normal wine it should work now with DXVK 0.72 just fine out-of-the-box on NVidia and AMD/RADV.

* Haven't tries this yet but should somehow be possible ..

Having played half an hour, the dialog system gave me a "The secret of Monkey Island" deja vu :)

mmh, aspect ratio seems to be fixed to 16:9, or at least I haven't found a way to change it to anything different. Not really cool to have black bars when having a resolution of 3440x1440 with 21:9...

Edit: Just checked the first LiS, that one plays nicely in 21:9.
Edit2: This seems also an issue with the windows version, thus not related to Feral's work. One could argue that this is on purpose to keep certain images fixed since this is more a movie than a game, but not sure...

Quoting: toor

Quoting: jensVery cool, purchased from Feral Store.
I hope there will be many more games from Feral, but considering how Steam Play gets of the ground I fear this is already one of their latest games released for Linux.

How is Proton going better than Wine? Besides the direct integration in Steam which is very handy, and the good interaction with VR and gamepads, I don't see much difference with Wine. How is that "getting of the ground"? I mean, it doesn't seem like we can run more games than before than with Wine, and a native port is still a cleaner way to go and better seen by the community anyway.

Of course, a Feral port is a much better option to play a game and I would prefer that anytime. I just don't think that people will be patient enough to wait for a Feral port when a game already runs more or less out-of-the-box with Steam Play. That said, I hope that I'm wrong in this regard.

Quoting: jensI still remember my own words a year ago https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/what-games-do-you-want-ported-to-linux-feral-interactive-want-to-know-again.10139/comment_id=99838

I'm now playing GTA5 and Assetto Corsa. ROTTR was a beautiful port from Feral and I guess ED is just around the corner too. Magic!
Thank you so much for everyone involved!

PS: I had my doubts with the effects of DXVK in the beginning, fearing that Linux will become more and more invisible behind wine, but now knowing that Proton counts as Linux I'm all in.

So far for me it's mostly been DOOM. I got Sleeping Dos Definitive working for about five minutes before it crashed and never ran again. Probably already been fixed. I delivered a few "stable" ratings to the compatibility spreadsheet, too. What I noticed is that I could use WINE+DXVK+Lutris to get Far Cry 3 working, and the Rocksteady Arkham games working, but Proton still doesn't work with any of them, and it isn't DXVK getting in the way. Side note, the Arkham Origins seems to work perfectly Proton, so yay, you can play the placeholder cash-in title with the broken combat system and recast voice actors but not the other three that you actually want to play. Oh, well.

Both Arkham Knight and Arkham City require dotnet which Proton does not has built-in. Eventually you'll also need to spoof an AMD card for DXVK If you are on NVidia.

Arkham Knight requires dotnet452. I haven't yet spend some time to see what it needs to get dotnet452 to install correctly. I guess it should be something like 'winetricks dotnet452' with a system wine(*) into the proton prefix.

Arkham City has a similar confirmed workaround (haven't tried it myself) https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/309#issuecomment-415633734 [External Link]

* with a wine version that knows how to handle a dotnet installation into a 64bit prefix. Afaik wine 3.12 could do that, but 3.13 and 3.14 had regressions in it that prevented this. I'm now waiting for wine 3.15 to enter the Fedora repositories..
