Allegiance on Linux via Steam Proton?

Post by **BackTrak** » Wed Dec 19, 2018 5:27 pm

As a Windows guy, I like windows, so I don't have any Linux machines running around. But, I was curious about this:

Has anyone tried the new Proton stuff in Steam? Does it run Allegiance?

Thanks!

I can't remember who but someone had mentioned that exact topic on Discord about a month or so ago.

Yes FuzzyLunkin was/is the Linux guy.

It was a relatively new player that posted on Discord fairly recently about Steam Proton.

Apparently the white listed titles can be tracked here: https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/? ... 1390/info/

Steam support for Windows XP and Vista ended

"Linux offers some advantages but also disadvantages: Linux distributions are free to use and install, and Valve improved support for running Windows games under Linux in recent time. The downside is that there are games that won't run under Linux; certain games, e.g. those that require some form or DRM, may not run under Linux."

Such as my Alleg client.which has been blocked by Steam from running with a DRM error for 2 weeks now.Steam helpline has avowed all responsibility.

Hi all,

I'm back.

I have tested installing this on steam on linux and it works after installing directplay via protontricks.

I have submitted a report at the ProtonDB entry for Microsoft Allegiance (It's still pending as of this post so wont be public) and will be filing a bug on the Proton github so Valve can track it.

Regards,
Fuzz
