What even more developers think of Valve's Steam Play
26 September 2018 at 11:31 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: GuestI have a question about Steam Play... Contrary to most native games that ask the system to suspend compositing to improve performance (kwin supports this), I have to do it manually with WINE/Steam Play/Proton apps. I guess they will eventually implement this feature, but does any of you have a workaround ? I find it a bit annoying to have to set a rule for each game or to have to disable compositing by hand.

(as you know, kwin doesn't disable compositing for all fullscreen apps but for apps that request it)

I assigned compositing toggle to hotkey as a workaround.

Valve have updated the Beta of Steam Play which fixes VR games, fullscreen improvements and more

Quoting: spacemonkeyIs it possible to install the Windows version of a game that has a native Linux version? Since the VR should work better I would like to try Everspace. But only the Windows version of Everspace supports VR (the Linux version does not). So, is there a way to install the Windows version and use Steam Play?

Quoting: ageresStalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Must be I'm the last man on Earth who haven't played it.
If you haven't finished/played it then you'd better play with OGSE mod.
I tried it, and it crashes when I start a new game.

Yes it's hard to install properly. Sadly i don't remember how i fixed this crash...

Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

Quoting: tonRYes, I'd seen severals on extensions.gnome.org. But, I research severals forums especially Ubuntu-related one, sometimes the extension may break the whole OS. I really don't want to take the risk.

Nowadays, I'm value stability. I'd no longer have enough free time to fix my computers like when I was 12-19/20, that's why I use Ubuntu. But, even Ubuntu also sometimes unstable nowadays, I don't know which distros I'll adopt next...

For me Arch is more stable than Ubuntu was when i used it.
edit: also if you need stable DE you can use XFCE.

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

Quoting: YaumeisterIs there anyway to force Steam to download the Windows version of a game (911 Operator), rather than a broken and now unsupported Linux version?

I tried to do this via SteamCMD, which I managed to force download it, but as soon as I launch the Steam Client, it does an update and download the Linux version.

issue #5638
