    Hey OP, how do you follow all these updates? Is it RSS feeds on these projects? You’re on top of it this morning.

    PoE2 came out in early access on Friday and with a bit of tinkering (had to switch to Proton 7, for others it runs with DX12 not Vulkan) I can play on Linux woth no problems. What a time to be alive! 🤭

    Total War: Shogun 2 is now playable? It runs natively on Linux and doesn’t even need Proton. I guess this is good news if someone has a Windows only copy on DVD or something.

      Some games also run better on Proton than their native Linux counter parts (I don’t know is this is the case for Total War)

      I’ve intermittently tried to get Shogun 2 running on Linux over the past two years and have not been able to get it to boot up. The native Linux version has been broken for a while, so this is great news.

        Oh damn, you’re right. I just tried it with Steam Play turned off and it wouldn’t even launch.

        I swear it was already playable via Proton though. I even installed it on Steam Deck just for shits & giggles a couple months ago and it worked, albeit not a great experience on a 7" screen. Still, any improvements are good.

      Many old native games don’t run on linux anymore. The only way to play them is Proton.

    I keep hoping that one day Firaxis’s 2002 SimGolf will be supported. I tried Golftopia but it doesn’t quite scratch the itch.
