Hi all, I recently purchased Fallout 3 GOTY on Steam, but I've run into the fact that none of the advice from Youtube or ProtonDB is helping me.

It goes like this:

• I click Play

• Installed dotnet30 after the error comes out: failed, that I need to go to the Control Panel

• I go into the game

• I click new game

• The game crashes on the loading screen

I tried downloading a ready-made pirate for Linux (don't judge harshly, for the test) and it worked...

I tried throwing in xlive.dll, tried making a 32 bit prefix, tried manually putting dotnet30 (no luck). None of these things worked for me

What to do, I can provide a dump with the error, but it is unlikely to help anything Click

PS: Startup parameters: PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=true gamemoderun %command% (vulkan does not work for me)

!!! UPD !!! :

I was able to do it, the game WORKED. So, in order of what I did.

1. I uninstalled the game from Steam after making a backup copy through the built-in tools
2. Restored the game and selected Proton 5.13-6. Launched, started a new game and got a crash
3. Started manually doing all the actions from the YAML script, everything is done except for the moment with InoExtractor and wallpaper. Dependencies as dlls (like quartz) can be installed via protontricks. To make a patch, Fallout3.exe can be moved to the folder with the patcher and CMD to patch it, then move it with replacement back to the folder with the game. If some parameters are not in Fallout.ini, just create them! The main thing that they were in the right category [example Controls]
4. After all manipulations I launched the game and saw the splash screen! I hope this instruction will help people with a similar problem

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me :D A little later I will upload the folder with the game, prefix and post the link here.

Why on Earth noone talks about disabling hidraw when using Dualshock 4 (and DualSense) via bluetooth?

It's so damn "stupid" I found the solution outside officals Steam channels: https://selfmadepenguin.wordpress.com/2024/02/14/how-i-solved-my-gamecontroller-problems/

I've played through HZD and HFW under steam/proton. Both titles didn't work out of the box and required several days to get going. I assume the remaster will be the same. I'm just curios if anyone not on a steam deck has it working as I've seen reports of people playing on the deck.

Has anyone had issues with 2Dark using Proton? It’s labeled as platinum on ProtonDB, but it doesn't start and there are no error messages in the log.

Ok, my system is Ubuntu 20.04, GTX 1050, 8 GB RAM.

The thing is I played these games before, coupla years ago, and they were fine, but now something changed.

Witcher 1, doesn't launch under Proton Experimental and 9, only on 7. And then extremely low fps, like 5 on intro and 1-2 on menu.

Witcher 2, the same thing! It's a linux native game, but the same 5 fps on menu screen. Tried launching it under several versions of Proton, but it gave error something about Direct3d 9 initialization.

What to do?

I used experimental with no options. It installed fine. Character creation is fine. Cinematics are good. Selected ENTER and it just spins and never loads. I tried multiple times off and on for over an hour no go. I added PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 to the launch options. Same thing. I'm reading quite a few places that the servers are just overwhelmed and Windows users are getting the same issue.

So can anyone confirm that it does actually work (protondb seemed to indicate it was when it was in beta)? Is this just a server error? (I mean it is Amazon, and they totally kluged up the New World launch...)

After a long pause of not playing the game Ready Or Not, i have decided to reinstall the game and play it again. However i've stumbled upon this message popping up everytime i try to enter the game. I need help because that problem is really annoying, and i cannot really find a fix on how to do it

Was able to get this working, thought I would share.

Proton ge 9.11. Downloaded ref, fluffy and a pile of mods. Dropped the .dll in, insta crash. Ran protontricks, winecfg, added the .dll to the overrides. Dropped fluffy into the game prefix folder. Tried running fluffy via prototricks launcher using the dd2 prefix, errors. Tried opening with system wine and it worked fine. Saw no mods, but it saw dd2 exe ok. Dropped all the mods (unexpected if it matters) into fluffy's dd2 mod folder. Ran it agai with system wine, enabled all mods. Exited. Launched the game via steam and so far all the mods are active and working.

Performance seems good, but I've not been to town yet.....

This is on my phone, the reddit phone app is crap. If anyone has any questions please post below and I will answer as best I can.
