WINE Staging/Windows Steam Game Client - Screen Flickering?

[JeZ-l-Lee]

Hi,

Took a bit of work, but I installed current WINE Staging into 18.04.
I then installed Windows Steam game client into WINE.

Problem now is that Windows Steam has display issues(screen flickering)?
Any ideas on how to fix the above issue?

Let me know, thanks!

Why not use the native Linux Steam Client and use Proton to run the windows games?

Hi,

Some of the Windows games I want to run on Linux don't work using Linux Steam+Proton...

What you can do is check https://www.protondb.com/ and https://appdb.winehq.org/ for the games your trying to run . You might get some inside from the user reports. maybe a specific version works or you need to do some other changes to get it working.
Good Luck

Tried protondb.com

"Prey"(2006) is not listed?

It's currently not running on Linux Steam with Proton...

Steam gives two methods to stop flickering. Have you tried them?
