Hi guys batmanm0b1e here saw this article new steamplay, proton, vulkan, whatever you want to call it just steam, You can play your windows games some of them I'm not sure if all yet. I haven't tried this yet but I I'm going too. Here's a video and the articles on it https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561 https://news.softpedia.com/news/val...o-run-windows-games-on-their-pcs-522365.shtml
I added a post to the homepage as well. This is crazy! Why does Valve think Wine is worth supporting for Windows games? I think its a great move since Wine is so stable with several thousand games. I wonder if our guides are a source of inspiration for them?
Here is a guide on how to set it up, and attempt to play other games. https://www.devpy.me/steam-for-linux-can-now-run-windows-games-with-vulkan-performance-built-in/
Here is a more in-depth-guide for proton https://fosspost.org/tutorials/enable-steam-play-on-linux-to-run-windows-games
My concern is that if Proton works well, it might make our Steam guides completely useless. But can we run other games in Proton: GOG Retail Free MMORPG Origin Uplay Arc Indie Games (Unity, UE3/UE4) I have some reading to so...
I've heard recently that Proton is based on an older version of Wine: 3.7 I also read that with DXVK enabled by default, this can cause issues with Direct X 9 games. So I will continue testing Direct X 9 games in PlayOnLinux and posting step-by-step guides just in case they don't run in Proton. Also, some of the Direct X 10/11 games that need extra workarounds not possible in Steam, will be getting guides as well.
yeah i figured that much. I'm waiting for proton to or DXVK to support DX9 games DXVK just DX10 and 11
I read on Reddit that Proton should fallback to DX9 support with DXVK enabled. Not exactly sure how this works but here are some commands to disable/force DX11 Code: Disable esync PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 Force DX11 PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% Disable DX11 PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%
