Excited to play Resident Evil Village? It may not support Linux but that isn't stopping Valve with a new Proton Experimental update out now.
The latest update to Proton Experimental 07/05/2021 has a single line added in the changelog which notes "Beginnings of Resident Evil Village support.". With that in mind then, Valve's partner CodeWeavers and their Wine hackers are already hooking up whatever they can to get it working.
From initial few reports, it looks like you can actually get in-game now thanks to Proton Experimental but there are plenty of issues like settings not being able to change and videos not yet showing up. So keep that in mind if you were planning to pick it up to play it on Linux.
Like a number of other big titles, it probably won't be too long before it becomes much more playable given the progress on the Proton compatibility layer.
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.
You can buy Resident Evil Village from Humble Store and Steam.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWhat is Steam Linux Runtime - SniperLikely the latest steam runtime (collection of specific version of library dependencies) container. They each have a TF2 class as their name, previous one was Soldier.
It just means it's a new runtime with updated libraries, don't bother with it Steam handles those in the backstage.
Just found the readme https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/sniper/README.md

Saw some gameplay videos, its really awful game it seems.. gunplay is sort of ok it seems except the stupidly narrow FoV. atmosphere is zero, puzzles seem to be made for 4 year olds. There seems to be not much horror in this. Enemies don't even follow you everywhere, so you can reset their positions. Graphis look quite dated for todays Triple A studio. Main protagonist seems to scream and make noises when he sees corpses and whatnot but at the same time just grows a new hand lol. Voiceacting is terrible etc etc
Yeah, i bet if this game had different name than Resident Evil, all would say that its quite a trash.
my 2 cents
nice to see proton supporting new games fast though.

Quoting: slavezeoI'll buy it on steam in a few months when there is a GOTY edition with what ever DLC comes out.Is any DLC even planned? The latest two RE games had none, and RE7 had a season pass available while RE8 hasn't.
Quoting: XpanderWoaah... they are asking 59.99€ for this trash game. Triple A gaming in a nutshell.

Exactly. I understand that someone might enjoy this, but I'm really surprise how much traction this game is getting (it's all due to the tick vampire lady, isn't it?). Better spend the money on some Linux native indies.
That said... If someone wants to stream this and make fun of it, I'm so on board with that.
