Proton 9.0-3 now in testing to bring more game compatibility to Steam Deck / Linux
22 Aug 2024 at 11:26 am UTC

I love Proton, but there's something I don't quite understand about the development branches:
How to test? Find Proton 9 in your Steam Library, go into the Properties and opt into the release-candidate beta branch.
I thought Proton Experimental was the branch that had these, uh, experimental changes? Opting in a release candidate in the stable Proton version is a bit confusing.

In my head the development order is Proton Hotfix -> Proton Experimental -> Opting in a release candidate in a stable Proton version -> Stable Proton version.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

I was able to get sound after adding "-sdlaudiodriver pipewire" (without quotes) to the commandline.

Amazing news. Sadly, for some reason, I don't get audio at all if there's some voice recording application active in the background. I've tried with Discord and Steam Voice and both makes CS2 have no audio at all.

Quoting: beguiThe game is so great.. the music is so bad..
What?? Yuzo Koshiro, Motoi Sakuraba, Michiru Yamane, Keiki Kobayashi, Takeshi Yanagawa, and Haruka Shimotsuki are the composers, and the soundtrack sounds really good. How so? Did you play the game?

It's crazy to see GNU/Linux starting to have more choices for gaming on Steam than Windows lol.

It looks really nice and challenging. I want more difficult videogames and this seems to be interesting enough.

But first, I need to git gud at Dead Cells and finish it properly. This one comes into my wishlist for now.
