Proton is nearly there and integrating in to wine in to Steam.
However if the game in question makes use of the Windows Video decoding APIs results are currently very disappointing; the last time I tested it (which was earlier this month) I still couldn't actually play Obduction (the Myst like game) due to none of the puzzle explanations / video data that make up the story of the game running.
- justinclift 7y agoYep, Proton is really good for lots of things. Unfortunately, it's not a 100% complete solution. For example, no-one seems to have gotten Crysis (the original - and best ;) - version) to work, due to some kind of DRM thing in Crysis itself. :(
- munmaek 7y agoProton is improving but a lot of games still don't work or have random issues. And for linux, forget any game that uses BattleEye for anti-cheat detection.
- heelix 7y agoThings have really, really come a long way. I've got Centos 8 running Steam, and huge swaths of my library just work. I was not expecting that.
- RealStickman 7y agoI recently started to change over to linux for gaming and I was pleasantly surprised by how many games work through lutris.
