Windows Games on Steam for Linux. [Proton client Testing grounds]

Downloading DBFZ and monster hunter on the linux box right now.

Don’t know if anyone has tried this game yet, but I got Dirt 3 Complete Edition to work out of the box, with ps4 controller working. Just reset myself to using proton beta.

Did not work on previous proton version that came with steam play.

There seems to be no problems, just tested it for over an hour, stable as hell. I am running Ubuntu 18.04, on a phenom II X6 and xfx RX 470 GPU.

im running the opensource 4.17 kernel drivers. I’m using a ati card.

Question about problem installing latest MESA drivers moved to the small linux problem thread.

Could you post this in technical help section rather than the proton games thread.
Before long it would get cluttered with lengthy explanations and posts.

thanks.

Quake Champions. Fedora 28, Mesa 18.2.0-rc4 drivers.
New drivers fix texture flashing.
Two options set on steam plus Proton 3.7.3.
Get through the intro screen.
From there on in, game is slow to respond to user input.
Managed to start a game.
Again, gameplay too slow.
Crashed.
Try with Proton 3.7.4. Beta tested.
User interface faster. Joined a match. Crashed.
More work needs to be done on Quake Champions to get it to run without crashing.

Bye.

Wolfenstein: The New Order runs great.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus runs with the new mesa drivers.
However.
Some more work needs to be done.
CPU and GPU threads are maxed out even on low quality video settings.
The FPS, even on Low settings with FXAA is only ~ 10 FPS.
Pity.
Visuals look great.
Perhaps Bethesda may help.
Bye.

GTAV does work with a couple work arounds, I’ve been playing online with friends, it’s not 100% though, it starts chugging after a few hours.

Tested the following in Fedora 28 with the Mesa 18.2.0-rc4 drivers and Proton Beta.

Sniper Elite 4. - Still will not start. Gives error message.
Star Wars Dark Forces. Runs o.k.
STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II runs but only in small window in top RHS of the scree. Needs fixed.
I will finalise testing today.
Bye.

Retested Ashes of the Singularity escalation Fedora 28 and Mesa 18.2.0-rc4 drivers and Proton Beta. The stardock launcher shows up then press launch then stardock launcher looks like section of Steam GUI. Completely broken.

@Dje4321 I have a very similar system to yours (Sandy Bridge, FirePro M6100, Fedora 28.) Have you managed to get Vulkan to run on the Radeon driver? I’ve got Vulkan support with the experimental amdgpu driver, but the only thing I can get to work is Skyrim SE.

My GPU doesnt support vulkan, DX12, or even DX11 properly

alright:

  • Dark Souls PTDE (Not remastered) works fine, hitches at some loading breakpoints, but that’s normal for using it under wine too
  • Dragon Ball Fighter Z Loads into blackscreen and never recovers
  • Darksiders Loads and plays but the menus are completely broken, both at the start screen and ingame
  • Brothers, a tale of 2 sons crashes before startup
  • The Witcher plays perfectly
  • Castle Crashers works fine
  • Pit People works fine

Last big title to test is MH:World

New update:

Steamplay is in the mainline client now. You do not need to opt into the beta to enable proton.

That said, if you are testing new games I recommend using the beta, because that will have the latest updates.
