Quoting: KrumpetPirate

Quoting: Mountain ManDo the Batman Arkham games work yet? Those are the only ones I really care about.

Arkham Origins runs at least, but very poorly. I think it crashed out or I got so annoyed with the terrible graphical glitches that I quit the game and moved on to the next test.

According to the reports, it should run pretty well:

Arkham City should run as well, after some changes:

Quoting: johndoe86xI'm familiar with Antergos KDE as I used to run it for awhile. I may switch back if Kubuntu doesn't keep me up to date fast enough. I also ran Solus for quite a long time on my laptop, but I never gamed with it.

Is there a tool involved with your graphics driver that you use or it simply updating via pacman? My main reason for Kubuntu (I like KDE) is that the SteamPlay community primarily runs Ubuntu (granted, followed by Arch), and they seem to give the most platinum/gold ratings.

No extra tool needed, it is simply included among other updates.

I had similar reasoning for using Ubuntu when it comes to native games, after all Ubuntu is often the only officially supported distro. However, the 16.04 LTS release was crashing on me and I had lot of issues with it, to a point I decided to drop it and try Antergos (Gnome DE) for my desktop. It was significant improvement (this might be due to the fact, that I run pretty recent hardware: GTX 1080 and Ryzen 5 1600) and I have been happy with it since. I don't think I ever encountered an Arch specific issue for any game, all issues I can remember were present on Ubuntu as well.

Quoting: johndoe86xI played a few hours of it last night on Kubuntu with an i5-3570K and a 980 Ti. It worked straight out of the box on the latest SteamPlay beta version (whichever one that is right now). Performance was locked to 60fps most of the time with the "Very High" settings enabled. I'd give it a platinum rating if not for a few minor visual glitches that were very seldom, definitely at least gold status.

I'm a longtime Linux user, but I always booted back into Windows for games. So I'm not quite as seasoned as everyone else when it comes to drivers. I'm currently running 396.54 according to:
nvidia-smi

I installed my drivers from: ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
Is this the standard method or is there something else I should be doing to keep my drivers up to snuff for SteamPlay?

Thanks!

Thanks, will buy it once its on sale (my self imposed rule for buying non-native games).

396.54 should be up to date stable driver. I'm on 396.54-5, since I'm on Antergos, which is a bleeding edge distro.
If you plan using your PC for gaming, I recommend a bleeding edge distro to get the most up to date software and drivers automatically.

Quoting: bird_or_cageSo this fixes Prey (2017) and it can be whitelisted for Steam Play. Wow. Can`t wait to test.

Let me know how it works afterwards, I have an interest in that game.

Quoting: DuncMy initial thought was, “A... racing... platformer? What is this madness?” But actually, that looks pretty danged awesome. Another one for the wishlist, I think.

Racing platformers have been around for a while, never heard of Trackmania or Stunts?

Quoting: fabertaweWell I feel bad buying a Proton (rather say that than Windows! And I did use the GOL supporting link of course) only game but just had to get Doom as it was half price. Should be able to try it in a few days as it's a mere 59.5 GB download :dizzy:

Off topic... which game is the record holder for biggest download? :huh:

Only 59.8 GB ? For me Doom has whooping 73.8 GB. Out of that, 47.9 being virtual textures.

Thanks, grabbed Planetary Annihilation and Prison Architect.

Quoting: psycho_driverSkyrim is 50% off I think I saw in an email today. That's playing well with Proton isn't it? I might have to see what all the fuss is about.

Only the Special Edition is 50% off and that one does not play that well with Proton.

Stellaris was on my wishlist for a long time, but not anymore (bought it yesterday). Hope it delivers.
