I've done some googling on this, but haven't gotten any solid answers yet.

The Command and Conquer collection was recently re-released on Steam without the stupid Origin launcher. However, these games run a lot better after being patched with CnCNet. I know based on a github issue that this might not work until CnCNet is fixed for the Steam Version. Still, I haven't found a good guide to "patching" games and/or adding accessory launchers within Proton. Is there a way for me to tell Steam that I want to run the CnCNet installer within the "bottle" (if that is the correct term) that Steam has made for Red Alert 2? Also, once I've done that, is it possible to add one of the .exes from that bottle to Steam as a separate game?

For those unfamiliar, CnCNet is a community launcher that patches the underlying game files. Typical installation involves installing the RA2 game files, then installing CnCNet and pointing at the RA2 install. This then provides a "CnCNet Yuri's Revenge" or "CnCNet Red Alert 2" launcher which can be used for online play despite the Westwood servers having been abandoned for many years.

Hello there,

Battle.net seems to be struggling again on my side, it's been running well for a while with the last issue I ran into being this WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY env variable that needed to be set to 1 back in december.

Now I'm getting the following when trying to run the Battle.net client.

From what I understand it looks like it corrupted itself trying to update, any attempt to install doesn't work and brings me an infamous error BLZBNTBTS0000005C.

I'm running it using Bottles with the `wine-ge-proton8-25` runner.

Even creating a new Bottle seem to lead to the same error.

Iirc there was a way that I could just prevent the update process by making the files immutable, but I guess with the update already applied the old files are probably gone now, I currently have `Battle.net.14542` and `Battle.net.14766` in Battle.net folder.

Any clue on what I could do to fix it?

Desolatium is a new point'n'click adventure, with native binaries on the Steam store. The demo looks to be Windows-only however, but not a problem with Proton!

The blurb reads:

"DESOLATIUM is a first-person point & click Graphic Adventure based on Lovecraft Mythos. Live this horror story where you will have to visit mysterious locations, face lovecraftian creatures, find clues and combine objects to solve puzzles."

Hello, I have gotten my gc controller working in wine for a few games (namely Geometry Dash), and I was wondering if I could rebind it somehow. It doesn't seem possible to do it per game, and I was wondering if it is supported in wine

I've been trying to play a variety of games that I used to be able to play. Many of them when I try to run then give me the error "An error occurred while launching this game: compatibility tool failed" I've tried Uninstalling and reinstalling everything: games, proton, runtime stuff. Unfortunately the games still do not work and I'm unsure how to fix this. I run void linux and I am fully updated.

Does anyone have any experience with getting Gameloop working in Linux? I play CODM via Gameloop a lot and it’s the only thing keeping me still on Winblows.

I use nobara linux on an intel igpu running kde on wayland, and the game runs on 60fps+ on lowest settings, but the game flickers a lot.. (some sprites and most/all 3d models are affected)

I've tried some random launch options i found online and none of them fix the issue.

does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix it?

I was playing Horizon Forbidden West yesterday and decided on a whim to plug in my Dualsense controller via USB. I was completely shocked when I realized that I was getting HD haptics AND the neat little sound effects coming out of the small Dualsense speaker that you get when drawing your bow or activating your focus. Adaptive triggers work too. This game actually supports all the Dualsense features while running in Proton!

When did this happen? I wasn't even aware that Proton had reached this point yet. I tried other games that supposedly support the Dualsense haptics, like Death Stranding and Spiderman Miles Morales, but I am not getting haptics in those. I've made sure to disable Steam Input. Is Horizon Forbidden West an exception? Did Nixxes specifically target Linux support somehow or am I just configuring other games wrong?

Wine 9.6 is the latest development release out now for the Windows compatibility layer, making progress on getting as many apps and games working on Linux as possible.

For the most part, I'll only be using the system for gaming and basic internet browsing.

Hello everyone, recently the game became unplayable. I am using bazzite on the legion go. The game runs and loads the main menu just fine, but only loads to an empty area. Even if I start a new save file. The game works fine on windows, but I prefer to game on bazzite. I use heroic game launcher. I have also run it without it an nothing works. I made a fresh install of the game and the entire OS, and the same issue persists. Does anyone else have this issue? I tried googling and went though several forums and I have not seen this pop up.

Releasing into Early Access on Steam in 2025 with Native Linux support, developer VowelA recently announced their open-world wild west survival game Forty-Niner.

Buckshot Roulette has made the jump from itch.io to Steam, and it seems like it's hitting the mark for a lot of players as it quickly gained an Overwhelmingly Positive rating.

I am (was) a proud owner of the Elgato Wave 3 microphone. They stated that the microphone doesnt need at all the software to manage different channels (available on Windows) and it is also Plug&Play.

Unfortunately I found out that both PulseAudio and PipeWire, even detecting the microphone and his channel, do not capture any sound at all. The connected headphones to the same mic get the output of the pc (I can hear discord, games and even youtube videos) but I am unable to speak to someone both in game or in discord.

It is unclear but sometimes plugging, unplugging, changing device and reverting to the microphone seems fix it, but it is not a reliable method since it works once every 100+ times (higher chances using Cinnamon instead of Gnome or KDE).

Anyone had the same issue and has a way (besides buying another mic) to fix this?
