Most of these issues are caused by linux dosbox being case-sensitive when it comes to file handling (including content of. Overall there are differences between linux and windows, that result in e.g.
#Beneath a steel sky cd version dosbox windows#
I found that Wine already delegates running DOS binaries to native dosbox, but Steam games usually launch dosbox.exe directly or through other windows binaries. Overall games running windows-version of dosbox have very "sluggish" cursor and sometimes impossible tearing. The problem does not happen in native dosbox. X-COM titles crash on start (most people report Platinum on ProtonDB, but for me the game crashes right after the intro - about 5 seconds after main menu is shown).It's still whitelisted and works ok in Proton 3.16, so I am not sure if it's worth reporting. Star Wars: Dark Forces regressed badly in newer versions of Proton - cursor is very laggy, game creates 2 separate windows and alt-tab breaks the game.I don't own the games you mentioned, and will likely need help to whitelist them in my tool - if you're interested in helping, create an issue for my project - I have number of issues with DOS games as well :( This is a change which if done at the Steam Runtime level, could provide a large ROI for a very minor risk and very little I just released Steam compatibility tool to run DOS games on Steam through native dosbox: Worms ( Worms, the old one the first not working, and it uses doxbox, should.DOOM ( Ultimate Doom FPS drops with higher mouse polling rate (2280) #1534).References Įxamples of games that would benefit include: To mitigate this, apply the change at the Steam Runtime level and mark all the games as Linux-compatible instead without claiming the games need Steam Play to work. If applied as a Steam Play solution, customers may think the games rely on Wine. This would bolster the library of games showing as made for SteamOS boosting the native library with very little work and a large return. However, it may be worth considering adding this to Steam Runtime instead and claiming Linux-native compatibility on all the DOS games. Easy way to bolster the Steam Play library, benefitting Valve commercially.
Also, add this and all the DOSBox games for Windows will start "just working" via Steam Play on Linux. Adding it to Proton would allow to integrate patches for controller support amongst other features.
Wine doesn't offer proper DOS games support. that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available thatĮxtend Proton and/or the Steam Runtime to use native Linux DOSBox for DOS-based games.that I haven't found another request for this feature.
