That´s true ... but in absolute numbers the User-count grewth. See what Valve employee Pierre-Loup Griffais said about it a few weeks ago:

"The overall percentage still has a lot of ground to make up, but the number of Linux gamers on Steam continues to grow at a similar rate as those playing on Windows," Steam developer Pierre-Loup Griffais told Engadget. "It looks like there might actually be an increase trend in Linux gamers starting from October when we released the new Steam Play [Proton] beta, but it's too early to tell if it's had a real lasting impact.”

Additional we have actually an increase of chinese gamers (caused by the launch of Apex Legends). We see here a similar high impact like with PUBG from the chinese Gamers (traditonally highly tagged to Windwos) to the Linux Share:

English: - 2,41%
Simplified Chinese: +3,54%
Traditional Chinese: + 0,17%

Deep Rock Galactic, a 1-4 player co-op FPS with a destructible environment works great in Steam Play

... works great in Steam Play
... until EAC is implemented ...

Sorry, but a burnt child dreads the fire. It´s a multiplayer game and it is Early Access. Remember

SCUM
Paladins
Apex Legends (not Proton, but Wine)
...
This is a solo/co-op game, they really have no need for EAC and from what I read they have no plans to add it in either.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I put it on my wish list, though. And I'll keep an eye on it.

Wine 4.3 is out with the XAudio2 reimplementation 'FAudio' included

Quoting: jens
Quoting: GuestThis is huge. It will make a lot of games go from silver to gold or even to platinum on protondb.
Sorry to disappoint you, but FAudio was already bundled with Proton so nothing changes in this regard ;). See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog#316-5 [External Link]

But isn't FAudio included in Proton already ?
Yes.

There are next to FAudio2 other fixes in 4.3. As soon Valve adopted 4.3 into Proton we will see much more improvements.

As soon as Valve adopted Wine 4.3 into Proton we can see how much it brings.

Fix 41670 BattlEye launcher stuck at 'Starting BattlEye Service...' (PUBG, Planetside2, H1Z1: King of the Kill, Tibia 11)
and
Fix 45841 Battleye's BEDaisy.sys requires that PsThreadType and PsProcessType are defined

Has anyone tried to start PUBG with it yet? That has failed so far because of this bug:
