NEW STEAM, Windows games, steamplay

I added a post to the homepage as well.
This is crazy!
Why does Valve think Wine is worth supporting for Windows games?

I think its a great move since Wine is so stable with several thousand games.
I wonder if our guides are a source of inspiration for them?
 
My concern is that if Proton works well, it might make our Steam guides completely useless.
But can we run other games in Proton:
  • GOG
  • Retail
  • Free MMORPG
  • Origin
  • Uplay
  • Arc
  • Indie Games (Unity, UE3/UE4)
I have some reading to so...
 
I've heard recently that Proton is based on an older version of Wine: 3.7
I also read that with DXVK enabled by default, this can cause issues with Direct X 9 games.

So I will continue testing Direct X 9 games in PlayOnLinux and posting step-by-step guides just in case they don't run in Proton.
Also, some of the Direct X 10/11 games that need extra workarounds not possible in Steam, will be getting guides as well.
 
I read on Reddit that Proton should fallback to DX9 support with DXVK enabled. Not exactly sure how this works but here are some commands to disable/force DX11

Code: 
Disable esync
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1

Force DX11
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

Disable DX11
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%
