Haven't we seen it a million times by now? Development drowning in feature bloat. Adding, adding, adding, adding... pushing an eventual finish line further and further into an obscure future.

While I'm sad they couldn't make good on the Linux version, I'm glad they did finish the game and release something that looks both appealing and friendly to low spec machines. <3

Wishlisted for now.

Alright I could not resist any longer - picked it up today. My wallet keeps yelling angry things about buying too many damn games or something, who knows what that's about. Moar gaemz! ^_^

I filed a bug report [External Link] about the slow performance with the last patch, it ran heckin' fast before that.

Deathlyrage said this in response to the performance regression:

we pulled in some engine changes from Epic, so its most likely a bug in a changeset they introduced

Just a thought, for a clearer overview; perhaps note the Linux supported titles in bold text or something. Cheers!

One year later, almost 6000 games reported working on ProtonDB.
These are interesting times indeed! :D

Great article, happy reading!
I fear I'll have to stay away from ED tho. If I dive into it and it turns out to be great (quite possible) I may never get back out... (also quite possible) :P

As it happens, it's even worse now than when I tried last time!

I enabled the 'Steam play for all titles' option and restarted Steam beta client. Tried to find both Zombie Panic! Source and Path Of Exile in my Library just now... none of them showed up. However they can be installed from the Store page and clicking 'Play now' :huh:

No more Bumblebee crap, you can use __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 and other things now, details in the links. :)

Quoting: Shepard62FRAbout the "missing executable" subject, I wish developers could setup a default branch per OS. In the case of Zombie Panic! Source, the Linux client is only available in the "unstable" branch (for now) so we have to tell every Linux user: "if you want to play the game, use that branch, not the default 'public' one that Steam download/install/update by default".

Another detail worth mentioning...
There is an option called Enable Steam Play for all other titles in the Steam client settings.
- When enabled, all games are lumped into both the Games and SteamOS + Linux category in the Library.
- When NOT enabled, the Games category is all games and the SteamOS + Linux category contains only Linux games. I prefer this because reasons.

The downside to not enabling this option is that you cannot properly add F2P Windows-only games to your Library.
They are actually added, but cannot be installed as it will error out with 'Unsupported platform' and also cannot be seen in the Library as they do not have a valid Linux version.
This is true with Zombie Panic! Source even though a Linux version now exists in a 'beta' branch.

The only solution is to enable this option, restart Steam client, game is now visible in your Library, force Proton in the game properties, disable the option and restart Steam client again. Then it works... :|

edit: clarified the category statement
