Quoting: celphyThis seems to block Origin updates as well for me.

I guess you can always just 755 the files, update Origin, and then go back to 555 to play games.

I trust there will be a workaround soon that will negate the need to even do this silly thing.

chmod -R 555 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1237970/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application\ Data/Origin

Ah, Liam, I don't think that's a good practice to make everything executable. `chmod -R -w $above_path` should do to just remove the write permission :)

Yeah, that was a rush and wasn't thinking. Have adjusted and double checked, works fine like that and probably better to do so article edited.

Quoting: MayeulCGood call progressively removing BBCode in favour of Markdown, BTW :) Though it might be easier to just use an existing parser, no?

It's a gradual process and I have yet to find a good, up to date and still worked on PHP parser that fits our needs. If you want to continue that discussion though, the forum is better since it's not related to the article.

Not sure if this is still the case, but doesn't Steam automatically just +x every file in common/<game>?

EDIT: Yes, confirmed. Madness I tells ya.

Quoting: lqe5433I like Proton and Wine, DXVK etc, I just think with these nobody will port their games to Linux..
It's too easy for companies to say it's working with Proton.

Maybe, maybe not. But there will be no Linux ports if there are no Linux users, and Proton etc. might very well help grow the market share. Chicken / egg / chicken / egg...

Quoting: mylkai know that, but why go this way, if they removed it all for stadia anyway?
and again. whats with just dx12. shouldnt VKD3D work?

DRM, that couldnt be cracked by now makes more sense to me
valve already fixed some DRM issues with the latest proton versions... i think street fighter and jurassic world are 2 examples

Dude, no. We KNOW the DX12/VK issue was the obstacle because the DXVK developer said so. We're not guessing, we know.

Also, your idea of how getting DRM to work in Proton works is wrong. They don't crack the DRM, they change wine to work with the still fully operational DRM.

Quoting: x_wingFor Stadia they use a different build to the one the ship on Steam so they probably removed the DX12 requirement there.

For Stadia they use a native Linux build. So yes, no DX12 possible there.

Quoting: mylkathis effort, because of a stupid DRM
it is so sad, that they dont release a linux version, since they have stadia

i mean they make so much money with GTA and RDR, it cant be that expensive to port the game from stadia to desktop

lets hope this DRM does not destroy the performance we should get because rdr2 has VULKAN

No, I believe the main complication had to do with a weird combination of Vulkan and Dx12 that the game uses at the same time.

Quoting: pytrys

Quoting: Xaero_VincentThere appears to be a nasty new issue (probably introduced by a change in the EA Origin client) that breaks any game on Steam that uses the EA Origin client via Proton or Wine.

I hope this gets fixed soon so I can play Mirrors Edge: Catalyst that I just bought.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3937 [External Link]

So it might be the case I can no longer play Jedi Fallen Order ...

There are a few issues open around this and they are getting quite a bit of attention, so I'm sure this will get resolved very soon.
