Valve released Proton 10.0-3, the latest main stable version of the compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux / SteamOS machines like Steam Deck. And now the Steam Machine and Steam Frame too of course whenever they arrive sometime in 2026.
The secret sauce that makes Linux gaming so amazing now, enabling tens of thousands of games to run well, just not those with certain types of anti-cheat which is a continuing problem. It’s been a long road to get here, with Proton 10 being in some form of Beta since April. But it’s here now!
Will do, one of the games we very much want to play but for some reason can’t get running is Voices of the Void. Will have to look it up there
Set launch options WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 %command%
If that doesn’t work let me know and I’ll dig further for ya.
Thank you! Sadly its still giving errors :( Proton Experimental “Couldn´t start: “VotV-Win64-Shipping.exe” VotV CreateProces() returned 2” 9.0-4 and lower “The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime”
Also looking online, it seems to be a pretty common issue and no one has found an answer as of yet (far as we’ve seen. granted were not good at this stuff/havent looked for an answer for a few months now lol)
Can you link the game? I caught the flu and so have a bit of spare time to debug. Just want to make sure I’m not looking at the wrong game
sure, https://mrdrnose.itch.io/votv OS: Fedora 42 Linux
also note, we tried re-unzipping with a different zip manager since people are saying the zip manager could be at fault. and now its not launching / giving any error at all 😅
Edit: oh no!! hope you feel better too! We also got a cold / ear infection ouselves so we totally feel u aaa
