Ideally, it's simpler and safer to just format the drive as EXT4, but as a temporary measure to run games from it without reformatting, follow Valve's instructions step-by-step:ģ- Finding out if a game works via Proton: ![]() ***if you have just arrived on Linux and haven't yet reformatted the drive/partition holding a Steam Games Library folder, this is for you*** Please be careful not to confuse Nvidia GPU driver instructions with Intel and AMD GPU driver instructions!Ģ.1- Setting up an NTFS (Windows formatted) drive for Proton games under Linux: *** check these first if it isn't working well for you yet! ***Īs it is still an experimental feature, you need to enable Proton support in Steam's settings, by checking "Enable Steam Play for supported titles" and "Enable Steam Play for all other titles".īesides that, follow instructions here to make sure Proton will be able to run games well on your system: ![]() you no longer need to opt into Steam Beta to use Proton, it's already available for everyone PS: There is an outdated info in the official announcement. ![]() The game devs have no obligation to support this and the feature is in beta so there is also no Valve support for it yet, but it works very well for thousands of games already. Proton is the default compatibility layer (based on Wine) provided by Valve to help run games developed exclusively for windows under Linux. Steam Play is Steam's framework for providing compatibility layers to run games it distributes but aren't natively supported on Linux.
