Valve just released a big Steam Play update with Proton now based on Wine 4.2 & more

Quoting: deathxxxFor: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Quoting: theghostMost important question:

Is the Skyrim SE sound bug (no NPC voice) finally fixed?

Use this one, and you will have all sounds. https://github.com/Kron4ek/FAudio-Builds
I do that in this video, and play a lot time with it, with no problem:
https://youtu.be/OcA8Cykd7U0

So it's not fixed yet.
Well thx for the info.
I will stick to the normal version of Skyrim.
As I don't want to tinker with extra hacks.

Quoting: GuestI downloaded nearly all versions.

Me too, but in the future this might be a problem with a lot of versions. Unless Valve start to remove old releases.

Quoting: GuestMy guess is it won't be that much of a problem because Valve will take care of the regressions and older versions will be less necessary. Eventually they will be able to phase them out as you suggest. But it would take an awful amount of work to QA all those games and if they restricted Proton to the game they whitelisted themselves there would be an uproar.

Welllll . . . I would expect there will always be a few regressions when a new version comes out; that seems to be the way of all software. So there will be a use for a couple versions back. But it's not totally unrealistic to hope there won't be really long-lasting regressions, so that there won't be any need for versions from years previous.

I took the risk of downloading AC Unity -- and uplay now works out of the box. The game ran almost perfectly at 'high' settings (picked up the ancient savegame from my windows playthrough just fine) until I tried -- after about 10 minutes -- to fast travel to a spot; at which point it crashed to the desktop.

The "Press space to continue" bug still present in PROTON 4.2-1
I remind you that this is a WINE issue and not a GAME issue...
I tested it on a Windows 7 machine and the bug is not present there.

Quoting: [email protected]Anyone managed to get Uplay working with Child of Light? Mine just goes into a zombie process and Uplay does not actually launch.

Uplay is now functionnal with Proton 4.2.
Delete the Child of Light proton game folder "compatdata/256290", launch the game and try disabling uPlay's game overlay in the general uPlay settings.

Really Uplay works now excellent can finally try splinter cell conviction again

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 eats a bit more memory in this version of PROTON.

Yeah this is more interesting proton improvement

In my case uplay works correctly with various titles case: child of light, assasins creed revelations, prince of persia forgotten sands and others

But in some cases games dont run but uplay seems work correctly case: assasins creed brotherhood - liberation HD, flashback

However in brotherhood appear same splinter cell conviction error related steam key provide

Good news. Looking forward to seeing what games runs better or starts running for that matter with this update.

Tried Far Cry 3

Initially Uplay works ok but the game started with a black screen.

So I killed everything and tried again and in Uplay I disabled the "In game overlay", then the game played great.

The only glitch was exiting the game. "Exit to desktop" resulted in a game screen freeze / hang, needed to kill the game process and exit Uplay.

I will need to test this again.

140h at The Witcher 3 on Proton 3.16 beta without problems.
2h on Proton 4.2 and the game has been crashed twice - the picture froze and nothing could be done.

I have only "The Crew" from Ubisoft, Uplay and the Game worked correctly from Proton 3.16.8. I did not spend much time on Proton in this game, because I finished it on Wine-Stagin 3.21 + DXVK.

Currently I use Wine only for games from Orgin (My son likes the Need for Speed Series), I had a lot of problems with games on Wine versions up to 4.2, with 4.4 is ok, on the latest 3.xx games have been operating without problems. Orgin client starts without any errors on Wine 4.4.

I wonder what the problem with AC II and Brotherhood is -- I assumed that it was due to the uplay authentication bug, but though that seems to be fixed now, these two still don't properly install.

I like hopping on Venetian rooftops while listening to a podcast or an audiobook, and I haven't been able to do that for a long while now.

Uplay improvements are very impressive in this proton version



In my case farcry 3 run in both modes DX9 and DX11 (and many other uplay games )

Quoting: GuestNo Elite Dangerous yet through Proton, unless I am missing something.

Maybe you are, ED has been playable on Proton for some months now.
But you have to use a modified proton version:
https://github.com/redmcg/wine/releases/


Follow the instructions very carefully, or it will not run.

This workarround is no longer needed with the new Steam Play/Proton version. If you have protontricks and winetricks ready you really only have to run
protontricks 359320 dotnet40 vcrun2015 win7
after the first start.

Edit: Eventually you'll also need this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/150#issuecomment-453244721

That number is the Steam Application ID for Elite Dangerous. Protontricks wraps winetricks and determines wineprefix, wine executable etc on the Steam app ID. Its pretty cool (although I would have preferred if it was just a shell script like winetricks, but installation at least in Fedora was still very easy). See https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks
