Quoting: BraqoonThey should add RAGE, worked out of the box on wine for me.

Then it will most likely work out of the box on proton as the whitelist only has games valve have playtested as offering near windows performance.

Quoting: GuestIf Proton allows gamers to play already-purchased games, cool, but No Tux No Bux going forward. Until the Linux/SteamOS icon is shown on a game, it has no official Linux support, you have no guarantee it will run, and you have no right to post negative reviews when it doesn't. Proton is just a tool that will help Windows gamers switch to Linux, and nothing more, unless Valve and/or game devs want to start officially supporting Proton-wrapped games and thus officially support and release for Linux.

I hope they will start doing the latter, and that we also start seeing Pronton/Wine-bottled releases on GOG and elsewhere too, but until that happens, this is just a platform transition tool.

But valve have already confirmed that if you buy a game for windows and play it under proton after two weeks its counts as a linux purchase in their stats. Sure you dont have the option to complain to the developer and say this is not working and you are not getting the support you are essentially relying on the valve funding to continue so the wine and dxvk teams to fix the issue.

"So, while I can see how Valve thinks this is a good thing for getting games on Linux, and getting gamers over to Linux, it in turn has a big impact to those of us who were bringing games over to Linux officially. I don't see how Proton is going to help us with the big issue of getting publishers interested in Linux as a platform... in fact, I see it doing the opposite.[/quote]"

I agree and disagree with your point it could go one of two ways either game developers will see that there is a healthly market for their game under linux and at least consider using VP or Feral to do the port or They will say well they buying our stuff anyway and we dont have to support it cha ching. I think smaller game publishers will continue to support linux.
I do think this is going to impact VP and Feral no two ways about that its just a question of how much. Ultimately it becomes a question of are valve willing to invest further not only in dxvk and wine but perhaps going beyond maybe by buying Feral or vp to offer a in house porting company. Time will tell but like always its an interesting ride being a linux gamer.

Quoting: ChronariusWhat about non-Steamgames? Can I run them with Steam Play too?

Well i suppose techincally if you added the product to steam using the add the product to steam button as long as you had the exe files and not a "backup" version then i cant see why not. Also glad to see this performance boost did wonder why there was such a big difference in reported frame rate on Dishonoured now i know.

Quoting: FeistI´ve tested a few small titles at random but no luck this far. Neither "State of Decay", "Underrail" or "The Secret of Monkey Islan:SE" would start for me under steamplay.

Yup State of decay is neither direct x or vulkan though its xna and one that has not been ported by ethan lee because well its a ms exclusive title same with ryse son of rome (though thats more a dx 11 issue)

Quoting: shigutsoWhen I try playing Doom multiplayer my game crashes as soon as it finds a match... is this happening to anyone else?

Also, I'm in a pinch to make a PS3 or X360 controller work on Monster Hunter World, if anyone has a clue on how to configure that (using SteamPlay), please let me know :)

Heres what you do you plug it in job done every game i have tried so far 360 controllers have worked out of the box (Dishnonoured/Skyrim/Red Faction 3

The not great:

• Crazy Taxi: Loads, but crashes after pressing start.

Weird. Works flawlessly for me. Your system specs?

I had this earlier with Dishonoured and Skyrim they work but the performance is a lot lower that wine+ lutris however for others with the same 1060 card its flawless the only difference is our processors I have a ryzen 1600 currently both the other users have kabylake i5s, but am not sure thats the reason as more than a few run ryzen 5s in that google docs spreadsheet.

Quoting: Lcs006OK! I am in a bit of challenge. I have Jagged Alliance - Back in Action Linux version. As everybody knows - it does not work. I would like to try Windows version through Steam Play, but how do I download Windows version? Linux version already uninstalled, Steam Play enabled.

Only way would be to install windows steam client which would by pass steam play.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I have a question/hypathetical question feral and vp would it not make sense for valve to buy both or one because then if a developer wants a linux port and they want to use feral gabe gets all the cash from point of contract to point of sale minus development overhead which if they bought feral they would gain the rights to use their tools for the port jobs they do. This would 1 create a very skilled linux software house within valve and 2 makes valve able to make linux more attractive to develop on perhaps by lowering the cut valve takes at point at sale for linux ports.

Meh maybe to much theorising there but it is going to be interesting to see what happens regarding Feral and VP i would say aspyr but they gave up on linux ages ago so i gave up on them.

Actually, is not bad the idea of Feral being acquired by Valve...
Acquiring Feral, Valve will acquire IndirectX, the most valuable asset from that company.. And will have a dedicated and qualified team for porting..

yeah was my thinking i guess its down to the money side of things valve arent strapped for cash but would they take up porting as part of its core i dont know but its an interesting question

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I do get that arguement but knowing what is happening under the hood and therefore potential fixes is more helpful to the community that shrugging your shoulders and going meh next game.

I'm with you.
But I'm also pretty sure there is some kind of debug mode for proton - did not have time to look in protons bottles yet.
Also don't forget that proton is OpenSource - you can be part of it.
I think that plenty of people will send patches and write bug reports to valve.

I do hope so i know the bug reporting for dxvk is live if we can make this an all out of the box experience granted its not going to happen over night but the more feedback the better. Plus since GOL confirmed with valve that a game bought and played under Proton counts as a linux sale after two weeks, who knows we may get a native version of something like cod next year.
