Auto whitelist Proton games which were played for one hour+ ? #151
Comments
That alone wouldn't detect if the game worked without bugs. |
I've played No Man's Sky for several hours in wine even with nonworking, requiring from mesa not yet implemented opengl 4.5 compatibility terrain shaders. |
Maybe 1+ hour by more than 10 (or more) gamers. This way we could discard outliers (such as people playing broken games). Or even using this to select games for manual inspection. |
A special option in the Steam Overlay screen on Proton games allowing us to rate the experience might be helpful (Perfect/Good/Buggy/Poor/etc). Adding an optional tick box to send hardware information along with the rating to identify hardware/driver-specific issues would be useful too. |
Also eventually a configuration similar to the controllers would be sweet. Being able to vote on profiles based on usage and have different profiles for different OS/hardware setups. Make it community driven. |
Since you can change the command line for starting the game, you could fool steam in believing a game is playable. |
The chosen timeframe is just an example. But setting the most obvious working games by analysing game time per Proton game eg. might help to get a first bunch of games auto whitelisted and if they don't work, people can open an issue ... instead of opening an issue asking for whitelisting the game, without being sure, that the gamer also tested Big Picture, Controllers, SaveGames, Cloud eg. |
Some games crash but shows in steam as "running" forever. this would not be a suitable metric on its own, however perhaps asking users in a dialog whether a game works after it has been running for some time may be a better idea |
Yes, please, please, please, exactly that. Those people who install a beta Steam client and activate the unsupported "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option are probably more than willing to provide useful feedback in that manner. The current way to report success can't be very useful to the Steam client developers. |

Instead of outright adding a game to the whitelist, I think it should be added in a list of future potentional whitelisted games. That way, people don't have to resort to using a platform-specific wishlist. |
no, after playing mass effect for 10 hours, it started crashing every 5-10 minutes |
A checkbox to allow people to whitelist a game for themselves would be great. |
How about data mine all games which were played with Proton for at least 1 hour (without AFK) to auto whitelist those games. Possibly adding a mixture of distributions and hardware configs, too.
