Do any of you have experience with running really old games on Proton? I tried importing the original Driver to Steam, the first serious game of my childhood. After trying different Proton versions, I could run the installer, found the location of the config program and game and managed to get it running. I use the original CD-ROM. The game has cut scenes, but doesn't install them by default. You only see them if you play with the CD or copy them the folder with the (uncompressed) video files to the installation drive. However, when I copied them over, there's no sound and the videos look like this:

Intro video

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: Radeon RX 590

RAM: 32 GB

OS: Debian 13

Proton version: 9.0-4

Any idea what's happening here would be appreciated.Any idea what's happening here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Okay, so I know that my pc is very old and sucks, but it should meet the minimum requirements for phasmo.

I have a Xeon E3 1275 Sandy Bridge, an RX 480, SSD, 20GB Ram. It's an old Thinkstation E30.
My problem is, that the game runs smoothly when I look around, but every few seconds the game freezes and there is lots of disk activity. When the game unfreezes, it's again very smooth. Also, while freezing, Ubuntu will show me a dialogue box saying the app has frozen and asks if I'd like to quit or wait.

Is this some linux / proton issue or does my PC just suck too much in general?
I could try it on Windows 10 to see if it runs any better, the FPS aren't the problem, the freezing is just unbearable.

Good Day Everyone. I recently reset my PC and now chained echoes doesn't want to work. it worked before and still works on windows but not on Linux anymore.

It gives me:

Hi I couldn't launch the game in vulkan so I used PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

it launches alright https://imgur.com/XhhWj3X

and splashes alright https://imgur.com/m41uOos

then we see the first the visual glitch in the main menu https://imgur.com/MrWNq5w

and it gets worse in game https://imgur.com/Qy4wc3c

I've seen 2 others on protondb with the same issue and they both have an amd gpu

I've tried different proton versions (ge, experimental, 9) and even different amd drivers (radeon, pro) with and without the above steam launch command (without it the game wouldn't launch, and with it I'd get the white textures)

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys. So, similar to the issue I was having in Borderlands 3, Bright Memory is also cutting out at very inopportune times and making the game pretty much unplayable. This time, however, adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% to launch options does not solve the problem and in fact may even make it worse. Again, I've tried different screen resolutions, different versions of Proton. I'm actually stuck using GE-Proton9-27 due to some graphical issues I have with newer versions. Coloured test patterns where there should be graphics. The game gives you different versions of DirectX to launch with and I've tried them all to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Again, I'm running CachyOS KDE.

Valve released a fresh update to Proton Experimental for August 28th, bringing plenty of improvements for Windows games on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck.

Read the full article on GamingOnLinux.

Hey everyone, I'm new to Linux and have an issue I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm running Bazzite from an external M.2 SSD in an enclosure. I've set up a shared partition formatted as exFAT so I can access my games from both Windows and Linux. This is super convenient for games that I prefer to play on Windows, like GTA V, and others that run well on Linux.

However, I've run into a consistent problem: whenever I'm on Linux, I get "disk write errors" on Steam, especially when a game needs an update. Sometimes, even if there's no update, I'll click "Play," Steam will say the game is running, but it never launches. This only happens on Linux, not on Windows.

I've already tried a few things, but nothing seems to stick. I suspect it might be a permissions issue with how Linux handles the exFAT partition. I've heard that using NTFS can sometimes be a workaround, but I'm hesitant to reformat my drive without understanding the root cause.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

In The Helminths, you can possess any NPC. Each one comes with unique abilities you’ll need to survive: sneak past hazards, solve puzzles, fight - or just throw bodies across the level :)

The Helminths is a pixel-art sci-fi platformer inspired by Oddworld series, Playdead games, Celeste, Alien movies and many more. Someone once described it as “Half-Life demake - Headcrab Simulator”, which honestly feels pretty accurate and funny. also my very first game - a small solo project I’ve been building on my own for the past two years. And yes - from day one the game will run on Linux (including my beloved Steam Deck!).
