Valve's Proton 9.0-3 Brings Support For More Games On Linux, Many Fixes

[cakeisamadeupdrug]

With Radeon graphics you get a blank-white screen with the Proton from Valve. I was forced to use Proton-GE because of that a year and half ago.

I don't know if the "playable" status for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is because of the blank screen bug, but at least the bug existed.

Oh actually you're right. I just checked a VoD from when I played it. You get a white screen if you launched it in full screen. The workaround was to use the KDE Menu (for me, obv use whatever tool your DE has) to get out of full screen, which would make the game display windowed mode normally, and then once in game you can go back into full screen and it would work properly. I had completely forgotten that it did this.

Folks, don't forget to go review bomb GTA V for not enabling Linux in their new anti-cheat

All I want for Christmas is SteamOS for my ASUS ROG Ally…

All I want for christmas is a Framework/Purism handheld with AM5 socket, DDR5 CAMM2 and openSIL firmware.

Oh and GTA 5 Online to be functional again would be swell too.

microsoft did gave up on DXIL ("DirectX Intermediate Language") and now shader version 7 goes with SPIR-V only.

Huh. I played Sleeping Dogs: Difinitive Edition on Linux a couple of years ago via Proton. I don't remember there being any issues.

Its full screen mode would cause issues like white screen and game not starting properly, especially if you wanted non-native resolution. At some point Proton added some workaround using Wine's virtual desktop, which could be observed as brief view of blue window (default solid color wallpaper).

Maybe unofficially with HoloISO?

HoloISO doesn't support it, but SteamFork does.
