Proton and Wine
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2024 1:10 am
Well, we don't have a Proton/Wine thread yet.
I just went to do a new build of my proton-tkg and noticed that Valve Bleeding Edge is now Wine 9.0 based!
I got as far as building the vr_client and it bombed out on inapplicable patches. I looked at the source file and see they aren't needed anymore so I commented them out in the scripts, but I still don't know if that's going to build. I might have to do some gymnastics to skip it altogether (I don't have a VR headset and have no plans to). The wine builds completed, the proton media converter completed, but there's vr_client, nvapi (which I also don't care about) and the dxvk and vkd3d-proton builds but those will be fine (I just upgraded those on my system last night).
I hope I can get this sorted, I'm eager to try it. I'd rather ping the guy with solutions if I report it.
P.S. It also looks like proton_9.0 is stable now. I can't open Steam right now (it'll break my game configurations because my configured proton tool is missing) so I can't check to see if it's being pushed out yet.
P.P.S. Yep, removing the vr_client patches was all that was needed. No other gotchas further down.
