Valve have updated Steam Play with the 3.16-1 beta based on Wine 3.16 and new DXVK

QuoteI was expecting a Steam Play update soon, given how I've been tracking the commit log seeing Wine and more being updated, didn't quite expect Valve and CodeWeavers to work so quickly and on a weekend too.

This should be the standard behaviour in the software development world... Progress don't take weekends or vacations...


About Bioshock 2, with this version of Proton, it needs -dx9 in the launch options for to work... default DX10 crash the game.

Quoting: LeopardI'm just asking that can you see DXVK HUD with that launch option.

I'm already playing AC1 via DXVK since D3D10 ( 0.72 i guess ) support added to it. But it needs d3dcompiler_43 which is a prop MS compiler that you can't distribute with Wine. So i wonder if it really works with DXVK or Wine's own OGL implementation.

My AC1 is GOG version so i need that confirmation.

It just works and you can use DXVK HUD to be sure you launched the directx10 version.

Please tell me that you didn't think long about this. AND that you're working seven days a week for your employer.

So you think that other people should work on weekends and omit vacations so that you can lie on your lazy back and play games? C'mon please, give it a rest and show some patience. ;) The speed of progress is already insane lately, please let the developers, contributors and all other people involved have their well deserved nights, weekends and vacations.

Exciting times friends! :D

wait, what?
did mac even had support?

Some elements for it yes: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/commit/a84120449d8177fa40f3de729e55d238d3c24877

Part of a larger series of changes that will be making it in to Proton at some point. The commit that states removal of macOS is from that PR I think.

Quite likely to be temporary. There is a Codeweavers employee looking at making macOS wine64 builds run 32 bit apps I think (which would probably make it in to Linux builds too), which is going to be a critical thing for them to be able to continue offering their product on future macOS versions that remove 32bit support completely.

Sure, was just linking to the current status :)

Witcher 3 being first , many Unity games included. Also Quake Champions.

Amen to that!

So is Q:C working good in Proton now? Last time I tried it, couldn't even connect to the servers

Also is it safe? The game defintely uses a form of anti-cheat and could possibly detect proton as cheating and don't wanna get myself banned

Would be great to have it working under linux as I've been playing Q:C alot lately on my windows install

No , Proton can't connect servers until they update their runtime.

You can play it with either doing some symlinking or with normal Wine now.

Quoting: GuestUse the nvidia driver from the web site. The run file is simple to use. Debian has many nvidia packages and they are old, buggy and difficult to remove. With the run file there just one command.

There's three packages to speak of at the moment, 384.130, 390.87 and 396.54. Any of these failed for you? What did you find hard about purging them? What's hard about about apt-get install nvidia-driver? I always recommend taking the distribution packages, because these guys and girls have the same input data as you have from e.g. Nvidia - and more knowledge about their distribution than you and me.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoFor some reason, Bioshock 2 doesn't work anymore.. It just crash.

for me its batman origins and a new beginning

Quoting: skinnyraf

Quoting: EikeExperimental is not as evil as it sounds and has got 396.54 at the moment:
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/nvidia-driver
I did install from experimental several times and didn't run into problems.
Of course: no guarantee.

I used to run unstable/experimental in Potato/Woody times, then got older and switched to testing. Now I don't have enough time to play, not to mention tinkering, so it's stable, with backports when I want some excitement :)

And as sometimes happens... I had graphical glitches in Rumu yesterday, tried the Nvidia drivers from experimental and ended up with a whole black screen. Well, rollback was successful. I should always store the packages updated in a text file, this made it easier. (Rumu is better started with LANG=C at the moment, and it might be fragile after taking screenshots.)

This is just great! I imagine what will be in few months. Even Microsoft joined us.
Meanwhile, I can't even install Steam. I get the message: "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libstdc++.so.6", blah, blah.. I tried everything that I find but nothing helps. Probably I destroyed my Ubuntu 18.04 by adding who knows how many different PPAs so maybe I should reinstall the OS and stop doing stupid things again.
Anyway, not a big deal because I work almost all the day, but I guess it's great when you see all this by yourself. :D

You probably just need to install some missing dependencies. I made a meta-package for Mint 19.x/*Ubuntu 18.04 to install most commonly required dependencies if you're interested in trying that & seeing if it helps: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_try_linux_repostrewrite/post334

Thank you very much! I tried it, but it's not solving the problem.
When launched, Steam is asking to install some dependences.

Steam needs to install these additional packages:
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

Then says that these packages have unsatisfied dependencies: (something like that in my language)
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 : depends on: libllvm6.0:i386 (>= 1:6.0~svn298832-1~)

At the and I get the same error that I mentioned.
But, it's not important. I will maybe reinstall this system soon. I'm not beginner. I already tried many times to solve this, but nothing helped. Thank you anyway!

That's a bit different then :P Try opening Synaptic Package Manager (it's installed by default on Mint but IIRC it needs to be installed separately on Ubuntu) and check for broken packages with Custom Filters --> Broken. You can try fixing them by doing Edit --> Fix Broken Packages

I tried what you suggested, but nothing helps. Damn thing refuses to work. Synaptic says that there is no broken packages. At the and nothing changed..
Never mind... I will reinstall the OS when I have the time, and that will certainly not be so soon. But, advantage is that DXVK will be even better until that time. :P

Thank you again for your suggestions! ^_^

I'm still salty that the 396 drivers don't support my graphics card (GT 730) but they support the laptop version (GT 730M). ?

This is exciting news, but I don't fancy building mesa and applying the patches myself. So I'm going to wait for them to land in mesa-git.

Also seems like changing DXVK to a system library (while potentially faster) is causing some headaches especially for SteamOS users who need an update.

Hope we can get all these issues ironed out for stable release. Can't wait to get testing :D
