Seems like the first one is on sale on Steam.

Wondering if it is worth buying now that the sequel is coming.

Steam Play just got two updates with 4.2-3 and 3.16-9, some great stuff included

Man, Elite has been working for some months now.

For what it's worth, it's coming. I gave a quick explanation here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/951670/discussions/0/1815422173031540745/ [External Link]
Awesome, will buy it as soon as available on Steam.

Also, the youtube video with real actors is nice. Another reason for buying.

Valve just released a big Steam Play update with Proton now based on Wine 4.2 & more

Quoting: GuestThat number is the Steam Application ID for Elite Dangerous. Protontricks wraps winetricks and determines wineprefix, wine executable etc on the Steam app ID. Its pretty cool (although I would have preferred if it was just a shell script like winetricks, but installation at least in Fedora was still very easy). See https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks [External Link]
I was unable to get protontricks to work with Elite, BUT, following the link provided I could get it to work using the usual winetricks without needing a modified SteamPlay version (just used the default Proton 4.2 and winetricks).

Quoting: GuestNo Elite Dangerous yet through Proton, unless I am missing something.
Maybe you are, ED has been playable on Proton for some months now.
But you have to use a modified proton version:

Follow the instructions very carefully, or it will not run.
This workarround is no longer needed with the new Steam PlayProton version. If you have protontricks and winetricks ready you really only have to run
protontricks 359320 dotnet40 vcrun2015 win7
after the first start.

Awesome,

What does the number "359320" is about?
(protontricks 359320 dotnet40 vcrun2015 win7)
Just curious

Are they finally going to allow us to migrate normal accounts to Steam account?

Hope there are no excuses this time.
