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

Go for them. That ensures you’re on the latest LLVM for testing. The DXVK wiki explicitly states LLVM 6 is broken:

Aight I’ll try that, but I will need to redownload tons of games since I deleted them already :stuck_out_tongue:

So maybe tomorrow (it’s almost 1 AM for me)

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will not launch.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Ultimate Edition does not launch.

Well, and here I thought I wouln’t have to get another GPU for the main system because I was using KVM with windows and stuff… Just ordered an RX 580 for the purposes of testing this and stuff. RIP wallet.

Crysis 1 works.
The intro scenes Audio echos and runs slow.
That needs looked at.
However, once in the game runs fine.
Apart from, no option to use high res textures, a running theme…
I need to look at why I cannot set maximum settings … I have played lots of Crysis in the past so I will look into command console settings for that.
I have a video recording of the Intro scene and the gameplay at 1080p.
Overall though … geat!.

I will compile all of my testing results and links to videos once I finish …
This may be a long weekend.

Edit: - I rememmbered why I could not run with vey high settings…
By default the game runs in DX9, you have to set it launch options to -DX10
to set high settings. In that case the game starts to launch then exits. That might be a Crysis settings issue.

Another point to note for anyone looking at Crysis.
Do not install gamespy or punkbuster.

Thats it. from me on Crysis.

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge

Game works flawlessly. Full gamepad support too.

The King of Fighters XIII: Steam Edition

Again, this one works flawlessly so far. It runs at a rather smooth 60fps on my system.

Ikaruga

Has a few minor framerate hiccups on my system. But otherwise, it works pretty well.

Had a quick look this morning.
Stick of truth seems to work fine. Even loaded my cloud savefile.

Downside of steamplay… i will have to look at putting in a secondary drive for games again.

Ok mafia 3 does nothing no launch no error just nothing.
House party threw this error “Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed”

Archlinux with Nvidia GTX970 Driver 396.54-1

  1. Astroneer

    • Game runs great, played it for 3 hours
    • I did experience some lags early in the game, but I think that’s not related to Proton.
  2. No Man’s Sky

    • Game runs pretty smoothly. have not tested all feature,s only played it for 10 mins.

Could not figure out how to make my XBox Wireless Controller works in games. It surely recognize the controller, some buttons works, some button remap, some are just missing. I tried copy my xinput dll to game binary folder but no luck. I’ve made my controller worked in Astroneer and No Man’s Sky before when using Lutris.

You can downgrade GTA-SA to V1 if you have a legit copy

I highly doubt mods will work as ive never really gotten them too but maybe proton will work.


Crysis Warhead works, same story as with Crysis. The Initial video sequence runs badly. I can run it no problem at enthusiast settings. Video captured.

DOOM:

vulkan-utils 1.1.73
llvm-7
Nvidia 396.54
ubuntu 18.04 (4.15.0-33-generic)

greeted with a black screen. wine crashes a few mins afterwards. neither +com_skipIntroVideo 1 or +r_renderAPI 1 made any difference.

DOOM as in DOOM 2016?
If it is I will look at it on an Nvidia card later.
I focus on AMD R9 Fury X & below cards for now.
I have skipped purchase of Vega cards so far.

I have dual booted with Windows for gaming for years, however starting recently with the release of Steam Play I am going all in on Linux! I have quite a large library (439 games currently) and will be testing all the games I have to see how well they run. Here are the few I have so far, and I will be updating this as I continue to test these!

My PC:
i7-4790k
EVGA z97 FTW
16GB DDR3
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 1060 (NVIDIA 396.54 drivers)
Ubuntu 18.04.1

Playable:

  • 10 Second Ninja
    Works perfectly.

  • Alan Wake
    Runs smoothly, no graphical errors. However sound is messed up.

  • Another Perspective
    Works perfectly.

  • Antihero
    Runs smoothly, no graphical errors. However sound is messed up.

  • ASTRONEER
    Runs perfectly.

  • DOOM (2016)
    Runs smoothly, I found no issues with it.

  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    Runs mostly smoothly, however the sound is entirely broken. Occasional graphical bugs, the worst of which is not being able to see ANYTHING underwater.

  • INFRA
    The first map (office) crashes the game, however skipping that and going to the “start” of the actual game it works perfectly.

  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
    Runs with no issues, however performance isn’t great.

Un-Playable:

  • ABZU
    Doesn’t launch.

  • Assassin’s Creed II
    Doesn’t launch.

  • Audiosurf
    Launches, but crashes when loading.

  • Fallout: New Vegas
    Doesn’t really work, you can get to the main menu, however once you try to start a game the screen will just be black.

  • Far Cry 3
    Won’t go past the Uplay launcher.

  • Far Cry 5
    Won’t launch.

  • Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
    Game runs decently, however the mouse is broken and constantly makes you look up.

  • Warframe
    Doesn’t launch.

Hey, we have a thread for sharing this info.

Ah, thank you! There is quite a lot more activity on this than I had thought, so I have added what I have found to there, and will continue adding to the spreadsheet as I test more games. However I would like to keep this as well, as I plan on using this as reference for myself to see how my experience has changed with these games after updates to Proton.

Valve just added their first update to Proton today…

There should now be an option for 3.7-4 Beta.

Cyberdimension Neptunia 4 Godess Online works fine but controller support (which is shady on Windows anyway) doesn’t work.

OpenSUSE TumbleWeed and R9 390 Hawaii XT on amdgpu.

I think that I will probably have to use winetricks to add controller support for this one.

Dark Souls III works great at 1080p Ultra.
Some texture blanking on Trees (the tree trunks go black).
Might be a Vram limitation on the R9 Fury X with 4GB HBM.

i have that trouble too - i think just plugging it in would work, but it is pretty frustrating.
