Interestingly, you don't actually need this tool to run proton without steam. Proton is an executable that just needs the correct env vars and arguments passed in. It runs without Steam running at all.
Port proton has been doing this with proton for a while
When the game isn't on Steam UmU
Even when i used windows I preferred using heroic over epic's launcher tbh
Bad form from the UMU repo maintainers with the home addresses in that example. They should make it $HOME or /home/$USER instead to sanitise it.
UMU? More like UWU.
I think the random other person is suppose to be pronounced as Rikabern.
Running proton outside of steam has never been hard? I've been doing that with lutris basically ever since proton came to be. I still appreciate that a project to unify the functionality of the launchers is happening, but all this talk of how hard it was to get proton out of steam before this project is baffling to me. Sure, having steam made downloading proton a lot easier, but it was far from impossible to simply use the downloaded files without running steam. And GloriousEggroll's proton was always there, ready to download without installing steam at all.
No GUI = Won't be useful or replacing anything for majority of users
Great story but I think Mr Unknown is getting to you 🙂
9:15 This new game ID system should cover everyone's use case. There are now +1 competing game ID standards.
This seems like an exciting project and I'd love to see a unified method of getting windows games running. I'm likely still going to be using Steam for the time being as most of my games are on Steam and I have no issues with it, but for the occasional game that is standalone I am definitely excited to get hold of this and use it
So this is why Lutris broke recently and was complaining about missing files for UMU.
Now, just use the ProtonDB database to cull the Hardware+software components combinations, and use that as starting point for automatically injecting fixes for existing games, into UMU launcher!
This would be such a gamechanger for new linux users, and oldtimers, who just doesn't want to spend hours and days on making a specific game run. 80% of us would be able to finally delete that Windows partition, too….
Yay!
so now we have a tool that pretends to be steam, to run a game in a tool that pretends to be windows?
Darn, this is quite cool I must say, that such famous developers collaborate together!
Long ago I had a question about proton.db and games that were both in Steam and in other Stores. If it is the status and the same fixes for both games. I can guess now (or in near future) those questions would be obsolete! 😛
Thanks for the video!
I dont understand this focus "proton-fixes" thing.
Steams proton just works almost always, if we are using the same system then little itch io games that no one else on linux has ever even heard about should just work probably. That is the entire benefit of steam games, even when developers have no idea if their game will work on linux or not they do, you dont need someone else to have tried the 100 billion possible wine configuration options to get it to work. And for when things dont work or can be improved, everyone knows where to go for fixes, protondb.
very gud brjodink hoblertvon 👍🏿
i can imagine that umu also makes modding support easier without having to overwrite the game executable with whatever mod manager you use and then launching the game through steam /e.g. Skyrim)
Linux is the key for people who think they know tech, to make their pc so overly complicated, they neved turn it on again.
Watching my buddy make the switch has been hilarious. So you really have to type in tons of codes just to open basic programs, making it a true nightmare to do even the mosg caveman simple stuff? Man this linux crap seems really….terrible.
me for me i run all my game that are not only on steam trough heroic and it absolutely never failed
I just want lutris to pick up new games installed from steam without having to wait like 3 days
Mr genius. Why not actually try it for us and give us a review!!! A review would be … GOOD!!!
consuidering that almost all pc games on digital downloads these days. im just trying to wrap my head around what this project is for?…. piracy??
hey Brodie, nice video. I've watched a lot of your videos for a while, and I appreciate the content. But I've noticed you do a lot of reading from secondary sources. I have no problem with that, but due to the way you switch between reading and adding your own commentary, I find it a bit unclear when you are doing which. Would it be possible to add some cues in the edit, either visually or through audio, that would make that more obvious? Thank you!
WineGE has not been updated in a very very long time.
This is a perfect tool to be used with rofi and other app launchers
Huge.
We gaming!
I think umu is going to allow for a wide variety of game centres/stores on Linux.
