Yes. Doom VFR is on the initial list put out by Valve and it does work. So do others. Tilt Brush. Beat Saber. Gorn.

Eh, I've already been running into problems with it. FF6 crashes about 1/3 of the time when I buy stuff from a vendor.

i told you people there would be problems with anything that protects games or credit card information, that is one of them. steam play is not a recognized or trusted program therefore it thinks its a danger to users.

Can confirm that it works pretty well. So far I have downloaded and tested No Man's Sky and saw no difference in quality or fps between the two platforms. I'm downloading Doom now to try it out. I tried Conan exiles earlier without much success though. My PC: https://pastebin.com/9hQP94N1

I'm still uncertain whether this will do more harm than good in the long run.

In the end, it still endorses locking things into the Windows way. Unfortunately, the problem is invisible to end users who just want to play games.

I think that this allows many gamers to finally give up windows. And as less of their shit is win-only, they buy less win-only shit. Until more and more are linux-only, forcing the market to move where the customer wants it to.

Basically it's to help gamers who aren't CS majors to make the switch, slowly weening them off the M$ teet.

MS doesn't even care about windows anymore, it's not their primary focus anymore.

It will likely encourage Windows devs to use Vulkan instead of DirectX. This is a good thing.

and you can't play them all either, the cost is over 1 million even if it was on sale.

I've done that but it doesn't exactly run right each time just to install a game.

Have a winewrapper for every game so it works on linux? Yeah, that'd be neat. Also maybe a Galaxy client for linux that wraps it all up in a nice shiny package.

I am mostly happy that Valve is contributing their modifications to Wine. I prefer my games to be DRM free, so I don't buy them from Steam, but if I can buy and download them elsewhere, and still run them in Linux, that would be awesome.

You can build Proton from source without using steam.

On ArchLinux or Manjaro, you can also get it from the AUR which automates the whole process.
