Until a new actual release build of Proton GE is out, yes.

Oh well, looks like we have to wait...

Quoting: SpirimintSo we have to build it by our own?

If you can do it - sure, it's the quickest way.

The alternative is to wait unknown time before (or if) they release a compiled version. They did it for the previous version (Proton-4.19-GE-1), but it vanished, and IDK if they are doing it for every release, or how much time does it take...

Quoting: SpirimintAh so i figured out you need the newest Version of Proton GE.. But when i download the file its just 40 mb big. Even the Version before is just 40 mb. Hm what i do wrong?

40 mb file you downloaded is a source code you need to compile yourself, AFAIK. Where to get an already compiled (latest) version is a question I want the answer to, myself.

I mean, even the download link from the GOL article two weeks ago no longer work. And the "latest release [External Link]" link from github leads to version Proton-4.15-GE-1, witch can be downloaded, but very old...

Quoting: TriasBy the way, is it known what porting studio are they using?

My guess was they're doing it themselves?

From the article - "Thankfully, they did pull in a porting studio to handle it, so the end result should be a Linux version that's tested working well—hopefully anyway."

Looks like external porting studio to me. I'm wondering witch one...

So both Underworld Ascendant [External Link] and The Bard's Tale IV [External Link] planing to release linux version this month... Assuming both will be good (after all patches they already received), I might be short of time in next few weeks. :).

By the way, is it known what porting studio are they using?

Quoting: dreamer_It is impossible to write browser extensions for it due to technologies used.

Are you trying to do something complex? Because this simple extension [External Link] (shows Proton rating in Steam store) works just fine...

Quoting: dreamer_ProtonDB decided to do a pretty stupid thing and store Steam System Information in a cookie file (ok) and basically never invalidate it (not ok). In the result, we get a disproportionate view on driver versions and likely other information in there as well.

Well, this is a strange thing, yes. And a lot of tracking is also disturbing...

Quoting: ShmerlAnd regarding DRM - it's not actually hard for Valve to start offering DRM-free options, like other stores do. They just don't see it as important.

Just for information – it is possible to publish a DRM-free game on Steam. For example, Space Rangers HD: A War Apart [External Link] (a very good game, by the way) is DRM-free, as stated in a special notification - “Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: DRM Free!”. Even if this option is not well-advertised, it is still possible…

Quoting: 14Were the older games a little over the top like this? This trailer made me think of Far Cry 5 or other games that extort culture.

The actual game might be different. On Youtube, under the trailer Brian Fargo wrote "Enjoy the video all and don’t be fooled by happy Scotchmo, the game is brutal and dark. We like the sarcastic juxtaposition."

So, do I understand correctly that we need a 418.52.05-beta driver, and those on 418.56 need to wait a bit despite having a higher version number? Maybe it's good to mention this in the article...

Quoting: GuestGood to see this re-release of DXVK 1.1, thanks :-) As a user of mesa-git on Arch I will benefit directly from this new version. But I wonder if Proton will integrate DXVK 1.1.1 then soon as well, I do hope so.

I doubt it. Proton won't see DXVK 1.1.1 until VK_EXT_host_query_reset makes it into an LTS branch of Nvidia drivers. I think Steam OS doesn't use Nvidia's beta drivers, and that's what they'll be synchronising the release of this feature with

Isn't 418 branch an LTS one? 418.56 (x86_64) is mention here [External Link] as both "Current official release" and "Current long-lived branch release".

Well, some evasive bugs here. Both Steam and GOG versions works for me. Don’t know why.

P. S. Interesting – Steam and GOG share saves and settings between each other. Most likely from .local/share/Paradox Interactive/Imperator.

P. P. S. I don’t have a paradox account, so no login in in launcher and multiplayer not tested. Well, it unlikely to influence anything…
