Quoting: Liam DaweAFAIK, you can only map them using their software which of course isn't on Linux.

You can map them with the smartphone app.

Quoting: GuestMaybe via usb cable to avoid network troubles too.

Then you get mtp troubles instead...

Quoting: STiATSteam always gave me troubles having GE installed for some reason. It ended up not remembering that I selected to use a compatibility tool or if it remembered it remembered the wrong versions as soon as I installed GE. [...]

Steam used to bug out when you delete a custom Proton version that is set to be used by default or for specific games.

Try running: grep -B2 -i proton ~/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf 

And see if it shows any Proton versions that don't exist in ls ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/ 

I went through that file manually with a text editor at some point and just removed all entries that were broken... (fully exit Steam before and make a backup of the file if you want to mess with it).

Not sure if this is still an issue. I have since set proton_experimental as default as well and only override it for specific games.

Quoting: GuestYou can navigate to updates in the window where you already opened the local files from and read the number right from App-ID .-.

To illustrate this just in case it wasn't clear to everyone:

It has become my most played game in the last few weeks. The only issues I have is controller rumble not working at all in the Linux port, and some sounds cutting out on some maps mid-match (it feels irritating when you can't hear your engine).

Quoting: sigz[...] At first I saw the game complaining about missing "ifconfig" command (because there is no ifconfig on archlinux). So I created a dumb executable ifconfig script. [...]

There absolutely is ifconfig on arch linux. It's in the package net-tools from the core repo.

Quoting: GuestI have a question about Steam Play... Contrary to most native games that ask the system to suspend compositing to improve performance (kwin supports this), I have to do it manually with WINE/Steam Play/Proton apps. I guess they will eventually implement this feature, but does any of you have a workaround ? I find it a bit annoying to have to set a rule for each game or to have to disable compositing by hand.

(as you know, kwin doesn't disable compositing for all fullscreen apps but for apps that request it)

I assigned compositing toggle to hotkey as a workaround.

It is by default set to shift+alt+F12 in Plasma Desktop.

Would you sacrifice your rights as a consumer for direct customer support on your platform?

This is not a right which exists, so it is not available to be sacrificed.

That sentence tripped me up a bit too, but I think we should understand it as "your rights as a consumer, in exchange for..."

I think the original sentence implies by using Wine you give up the option of asking customer support for help if your game doesn't work. As in, customer support won't help you with your issue if you're trying to run the game outside of the officially supported operating systems, no matter if the translation layer is related to your problem or not.

@zen_xeno argues that right didn't exist in the first place, as even on Windows you're not guaranteed to get an answer from customer support if you run into a problem that isn't one of the 20 documented issues on the understaffed service center's cheat sheet.

Quoting: EndeavourAccuracySo... which game? :P

Yes enquiring minds would like to know. ;)

That has got to be NieR:Automata, with Philip Rebohle's accounts on here and reddit being named after (I think) the main character from that game, and that game also being the first real game he got to work with DXVK.
