Valve have rolled out Steam Play into the stable Linux Steam Client, along with touch controls for Steam Link

This was fast. Nevertheless, they should start working on page similar to winedb. Right know I feel like the game test result/workarounds are quite dispersed on the web/forums. There is a lot of people testing lots of things but much of the knowledge gets lost in the immensity of the web :(

Found that link that I like very much (good search tool), through Forbes:

Edit: Sorry @legluondunet, seems that I stumbled upon the same link, by different means. Just saw your initial post in the other thread.

There's a google doc that someone sent me, very extensive list too

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DcZZQ4HL_Ol969UbXJmFG8TzOHNnHoj8Q1f8DIFe8-8/edit#gid=1003113831

FYI that document was linked in my thoughts article :)

Quoting: the articleThere's also a massive document on Google Docs, with people submitting their findings on how games run. Seems like it's off to a rather good start!

This is evidence that Proton is working as planned.

Hey! Happy GamingOnLinux day, Liam! :)

That Google doc is a bit of a mess. Vakve is accepting issues ojln the Proton GutHub page, and I think someone pushes results to the wiki there as well. Issue templates are in progress for submissions.

Community based survey integrated into steam could be enough of an improvement. Would help a lot the devs so they know what can be tested for whitelisting, too.

Imagine, you try a game with proton, once you close it you get a popup to rate your experience 1-5.
Then you can compile stats on steam website "this game has 83% review with proton". Or even better, in the client "this game has 27% rate with proton for users with a similar system".

I'm very impressed by Valve energy they invest in Steamplay and the positive results they already obtained: more than 1100 games available for Linux (and MacOSX now?) gamers.
That what it missed to Wine: a big enterprise that use their software to professionally improve its efficacy and development. Only a big enterprise like Valve could do that. Today developers that develop a game Steamplay compliant port can sell his game on three platform without develop three different port. It could be for them a money/time saving while touching more players. Perhaps in a near future the game could even be played on Android with Wine/Proton.
Another good news for us: same multiplayer feature for all platform. This is very promising.

Is there still no indication on the store pages that the game you're looking at is Steamplay compatible or am I just missing it?

actually, that is bad news.
that means a lot of people will test a lot of games that dont run , without entering in the beta.
the ideal solution would be to either:

1)add an steamOS logo to the game
2)enable only games that were fully tested to run for those who arent on beta.

by adding it to the stable client, people have no way to tell if an game will run prior to install it and try it for then selves until the game crashes.
they may be informed that the compatibility layer isnt perfect and all, but they still dont have to tell if any Q/A was done to make sure the game run perfect, or it will have an issue in an random part of the game.

You still have to turn on the "Activate SteamPlay on all title" switch. The default behavior makes only the Whitelisted games available to all. This said, I would bring back the SteamPlay icon to identify the Whitelisted games.

Edit: In fact, it's quite the contrary... With the default behavior, you are on your own to find the Whitelisted games. You cannot install random games, it's locked. At this point, you are aware of what you are doing. And if you turn on SteamPlay on all titles, It must be assumed that you definitely know what you are doing. :)

Yes, I've seen a few hints of it myself, but... er, your links don't work. :)

Not in the beta stage of Steamplay.

Quoting: Original Steam Play announcementSteam Play whitelisted games will not be offered for purchase or marked as supported on Linux on the Store during the initial Beta period.

I just wish that Steam didn't list Windows games inside my Linux library..

So it's *this* kind of beta but not *that* kind of beta . . . yeah, that's not going to confuse anybody.

In the client, you can set your library to only display "SteamOS + Linux" games. It's a pulldown just to the right of the search box and just under the "Library" tab at the top.

we need valve to release new compatible proton games

Quoteme and a friend who also using proton was unable to play street fighter IV online together, and also I couldn't connect online to Helldivers either, and Metal Gear Solid V won't connect online either.

You took example from games that are not yet whitelisted. All you have to do for the moment is to open an issue and wait.

Wait a second, doesn't Steam Play require LLVM 7 (which isn't out) and Mesa 18.2 (which isn't out either) on AMD hardware?

If you right click on the game, choose Set Categories from the list & on the window that opens you can tick the box to hide the game in your library.
