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

Warhammer: Vermintide II will not launch with Steam Play Beta so far on Fedora 28 with Mesa 18.3.0-devel drivers.

Here are a couple of videos showing the game running on Windows 10 Pro 18.03 if anyone is interested to try it out with their Linux install please.

I downloaded Lutris and WINE to see if I could get the game running with those but I am out of time to test this now.

The game is currently on offer on Steam ig anyone likes the look of it.

Bye.

Did you try the older version of the game? Not the definitive edition? That was the one i tried and had no issues. I am on vacation now. I want to try the definite edition once i am back and let you know.

EDIT: Just realized you have 12 parts. The older version that i tried had 8-9 parts. You are trying to install the definitive edition that has the executable issues and maybe you have a mix of bin files between the two editions. That would explain that the installer is missing files.

I can’t run Doom cuz I am on Mesa 18.0.5 Fedora 28 just now updated the system and nothing. How do I update to Mesa 18.3?

I figured out what happened to me. The EoCApp.exe app is a level deeper in the new directory structure, in the “Classic” folder. I’m not sure if that info will help you with Lutris or not.

I have the same problem with the Blank GUI on GTA V.
I am not running WINE/Lutris or anything stand alone.
I have not looked at any potential workarounds.
I am just testing Steam Play Beta for basic functionality.

Hi,

I had the same question,
@Eden kindly supplied an answer to me.
see the following thread: The small linux problem thread
It would be good if you could look at DOOM 2016 on Vulkan because I just came to the conclusion it is broken.
I just completed testing.
Video and information to follow.
Thanks.

  1. Warframe will not launch for me.

  2. AION Free-to-Play. Aion Launcher GUI appears.

However when I click RUN GAME the status bar goes from 0 -> 100 and then the game shuts down.

Hi,

DOOM 2016 Testing on Fedora 28 with Mesa 18.3.0-devel drivers.

Note, these videos are unlisted. I would prefer to set them to private, and share them using password protection, based on sharing to gmail. I need to get this feedback out quickly. I can set the videos to private later.

System Specs are noted here:
OS: Fedora 28 with KDE Desktop.
GPU Drivers = Mesa 18.3.0-devel.
Motherboard = Z97 Deluxe.
CPU = i7-4790K.
GPU1 = Sapphire R9 Fury X.
GPU2 = PowerColor R9 Nano.
SSHD = 2TB Seagate.

Video 2.

I just uploaded the videos.
I will update the information / description in the videos first.
More explanation here ,later.

Bye.

So I now have a mighty need to install Linux on my mini PC and give this a go. But… It is only Intel integrated Iris Pro 580 graphics. Is it worth entertaining this idea?

Is this the GPU?

The consumer version of the same.

Not sure what the difference is though, specs are pretty.much the same.

It is part of this.

You should possibly open separate post about this topic. I will move my replies there.

I guess you need to check if Graphics Drivers are available for it on your Linux Distro of choice. I think they should be but you should check. That Iris Pro iGPU supports DX12.

See:

This may be of some use:

I cannot spend any more time testing for a while.
I have tested many games.
Please let me know how we get the testing feedback to Steam.
I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet which summarizes all games tested, and details what needs fixed on some titles. I also have video recordings of various launch failures and error messages.
Thanks.

I’ve been lazy…I been playing through dragon age origins again having fun. Morrigan is hot…Claudia Black is a nice voice actor :slight_smile:

Coming on 2 weeks with one beta proton update but man my steam client is patching a lot :slight_smile:

Personally am waiting for Proton to move to a new upstream Wine rebase before testing again.

I have tried the game Grim Down under Ubuntu 18.04.

Only on the main screen the main character and other stuff textures were flickering. But the game runs perfectly without any major texture flickering. There are occasionally some minor texture flickering but they are hard to notice.

I have run the game on 2560x1080 with ultra settings. My hardware is:

  • Core i7-4770
  • GTX 1070
  • 32GB RAM

I’ve tried a few games today, first try since bsteam play released.
These are tested on a 2600X, R9 290, Manjaro, running the amdgpu module.

Ultra Street Fighter 4 - worked perfectly

Mortal Kombat X - worked perfectly, only tested for about 10 minutes. Previously on wine I had audio sync issues after a few rounds. Not sure if I tested it long enough.

Skyrim SE - worked perfectly. As expected since I’ve been playing it for months under wine.

Doom 2016 - worked perfectly. better than I had it working under wine (used to do down to 5 - 10 fps). Had to force Vulkan using launch options, else it wouldn’t start. Weirdly, audio only works if I change my pulse audio to output analogue stereo instead of analogue 2.1. Only game that had this issue.

Puzzle Quest - perfect.

Double Dragon Neon - perfect.

Plant vs Zombies - nope. Won’t start. Give an error about an incorrect directory or something like that.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon - nope. As expected, Uplay prevents this from working. Same problem I had with wine and lutris previously, the Uplay box becomes invisible and hangs. Definitely just a Uplay issue, because I downloaded a pirated copy and ran through wine without Uplay and it boots just fine, although performs badly.

Grim Dawn - upsetting. Game performance is amazing. But steam play seems to trip an anti piracy measure which prevents bosses appearing and can’t choose a character class. This doesn’t occur on vanilla wine, so I’d a steam play specific problem for this game.

Hi, Which version of AMD drivers are you running please?

Are you running amdgpu-pro drivers
or
Are you running Mesa Drivers ?

If I seem confused I probably am …

I run Fedora 28 and I see terrible Vulkan performance on Doom 2016 running Mesa drivers but ~ OK performance with DOOM 2016 when it is set to run with OpenGL. Videos shown above.

Thanks.

Can relay, dark souls 2 and 3 work flawlessly. As do rain world, quake 3 and age of empires 2 hd.

use the launch option --changedir

But plants vs zombies seems to work better under wine than proton, at least for me.
Under wine AKA launching from windows steams running under wine. I get native windows performance.

under proton i get choppy performance.
