[SOLVED] New Steam Play/Proton

Thank you mickski56. I will give that a shot. Also thank you to dugan and slacktroll since I was unaware there were binaries that would "just work" on Slackware. I'm going to try to build it all first, but now at least I have a safety net.

That's interesting. Anyone give it a whirl? I don't know if I can be bothered to compile a special version of the kernel for Steam, especially on something completely untested. (I do have to do things on my computer that aren't gaming. ;^) ) Comments are a bit of a dumpster fire.

I agree garpu. It seems Arch has been added to Ubuntu/Debian preferential treatment so until those guys do some of the initial heavy lifting I will wait awhile. It is very interesting concept though, so I will be watching. Thanks!

Someone on reddit tried it, and the patch only builds against the 5.0 kernel series. We'll see what current winds up with as a kernel, but I'm not too keen on switching branches for just Steam.

Looks like Proton 4.11 ships D9VK.

You need to enable it with PROTON_USE_D9VK.

FYI, for current, I logged out of X, logged back in this morning, and Steam kept crashing until I rebooted. So some update between now and the last kernel update (when y'all likely rebooted) changed something that a reboot should fix.
