Let's talk about Steam Play
Let's talk about Steam Play, a way for Steam users to access Windows, Mac and Linux versions of Steam games with a single purchase.
The new and improved Steam Play for Linux is powered by Proton, a modified distribution of WINE that provides compatibility with Windows game titles.
Testing of the entire Steam catalog is ongoing, but for right now, a limited number of Proton-powered titles are supported in the initial beta release.

I play Fortnite
I have tried Proton 9.0-3 and experimental and have been completely unable to launch the game.
I am trying to run this cheat table: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2161?tab=files
on this mod: https://github.com/AsteriskAmpersand/Ice-Stable
Mod installation is fine, everything works, but cheat engine installed through regular wine just won't be able to scan any processes. I've tried using protonhax but MHW ICE mod already needs the following launch command: WINEDLLOVERRIDES=version,dinput8=n,b %command%
which i dunno how to use alongside the protonhax init %COMMAND%
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.
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...)
