No Amiga version, no sale! Uh, looks like some interesting games Liam, thanks for the heads up.

What are you playing this weekend?

Quoting: WorMzyI've been playing Mass Effect using Steam Play. For the most part, it's worked well. There have been a few crashes, but I think that's probably just the game rather than Proton.

Did you have to do anything special to make audio work? When I run Mass Effect using Steam Play, the intro audio works, and then the game is quiet.

Yeah, there's an asound override you need to do in winecfg: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40898

After that, sound works fine. For my system I had to run winecfg with the following prefix:
WINEPREFIX=/media/steam-ext4-fast/steamapps
compatdata/17460/pfx winecfg
you'll need to adjust your your setup.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

Edit: I used the information in this link to force software audio, Mass Effect audio fix. It works perfectly now.

Really curious to try these and see by myself... My setup is Ubuntu 18.04 + Nvidia 396.54. I respect Valve's minimum requirements. I'm waiting for a sale to test Doom, Nier:Automata and Star Wars: Battlefront 2. The only Whitelisted game I tested is Fallout Shelter and it runs great.

Edit: I would like to see a filter, in the google docs, to classify the tests per system configurations so that we may relate to similar configurations while trying to see if a game will work or not on our own systems.

I bought my Doom Steam code from here, Doom from Wingamestore. It was $6.59 a week ago, bought it to test with the beta of Steam Play. Works great, although I had to add a start command to force starting the game in Vulkan.

I think you meant Blue Ribbon Soundworks. I remember. And I agree with you.
