If you're not clear on what Proton and Steam Play are, be sure to check out our constantly updated dedicated page. It's a special compatibility layer for running Windows games and apps from Steam on Linux.

- Restored VR support in No Man's Sky
- Voice chat in Deep Rock Galactic is now functional
- Better support for PlayStation 5 controllers

Quoting: kerberizerQuoting: PhlebiacA few games I've tried it on (that worked before) exit immediately after starting; anyone else seeing that?I noticed similar behaviour on Arch after upgrading FAudio from 21.01 to 21.02. More precisely, I noticed that after the regular package upgrade no game in Steam would run.
Hmm... interesting. I do see the libFAudio package did update to 21.02 near the same time. Something I can check into further, thanks.

Quoting: Liam DaweAnd I'll say for the record again, if everything about Linux gaming ends up relying entirely on Proton and we never see any other kind of "support", then this as a website becomes pointless and I'll just up and quit.There is strength in numbers. I don't know at what percentage Linux release will be worth it for companies. And by worth it, I mean providing Linux release outweighs making more content for game that would be Windows only. But It would be very strange that if Linux did reach more than five percent market share, that Linux gamers would still be content with playing games through Proton. At certain percentage market share there should be enough people to create enough ruckus that developers will need to listen. If Linux reaches more than five percent the time will be appropriate to practice "No Tux No Bux" more aggressively. And the more market share goes up the stronger that tactic will become. So if Proton does shift the market share, it will also strengthen No Tux No Bux. Because then there would be so many people on Linux that any developer not wanting to listen to Linux gamers, would be affected by this approach. Assuming Linux gamers can come together that is.
EDIT: Right now at barely one percent, I don't believe the time has come to go 100% No Tux No Bux. But at higher market share, I'm definetly going to stop buying games that are only playable through Proton. But before I can practice No Tux No Bux, market share must go up for the tactic to be so effective that it will lead to a turning point for gaming on Linux.
