For anyone who wants a quick view of Proton compatibility when looking at the Steam page of a game:

I was using the "Steam Play Compatibility Reports" script by DanMan for a while, but it's based on old data that hasn't been updated in quite some time. So I made my own version, which looks similar but uses current data.

Quoting: Solitarythe client only renders black content

For me, it's all white rather than all black. Thanks for the link; I had previously found the workaround (from people talking about a previous bug on Windows, I think) but not the official bug report.

Quoting: sub

Quoting: HamishYeah, sadly the Hyperion Entertainment ports are next to impossible to find on disc these days

There was a physical release by a porting company?

Indeed... I think I got mine through Linux Game Publishing, before they folded.

Quoting: slapinThat won't affect SDL1 games.

Wasn't there talk of a SDL1 -> SDL2 wrapper library? So older SDL games could also benefit from the newer library?

Quoting: CyrilPlus another older title from them, Emerald City Confidential, still Windows only.

Ah, looks like that was in their pre-publishing days; it shows in this list:

That publisher doesn't look Linux-friendly:

And ProtonDB says that game doesn't work. :(

Quoting: SwannyDoesn't help with embedded players but I use Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass [External Link] with ViolentMonkey to avoid signing in to Youtube

Does it work with this particular video? As I recall, it just uses the embed version, which YouTube is now blocking apparently.

Edit: Ah, I see it has an option to proxy to a real/dummy user account.

Quoting: CyrilGreat! I hope they will support their other games too!

It looks like Resonance, Shardlight, and Technobabylon are the only ones missing now?

Manufacturing compatible hardware seems like opening the door to lawsuits; Nintendo in particular likes to lawyer up. I hope it doesn't go that way, but I personally wouldn't want that liability. That said, as a potential consumer, I hope it is successful!

Quoting: CatKillerI hope this won't be an issue for the Steam Deck; that they'll have rolled out their re-encoding solution by the time the Deck ships.

I haven't followed too closely; does anyone know the (technical? legal?) issues with the solution used in ProtonGE?
