Notes about this package

  • If you encounter issues while using this package, please contact me here first before reporting an issue to the upstream repository. Don't post logs, link to them. If you are using Manjaro, another derivative or an AUR helper, please mention it, I DO NOT TEST AGAINST THEM AND I CANNOT KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THE DISTRO/HELPER OF YOUR CHOICE.

  • It takes a LOT of time and space to build. Building with multiple jobs helps but might cause builds to fail in rare cases. Be sure to have at least 16GB of RAM if you are building on tmpfs

  • It is NOT built against Steam Linux Runtime (Sniper, Soldier, etc) and as such it doesn't require it. Still, is detected by Steam and works properly (preferable through steam-native).

  • This PKGBUILD uses CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS hardcoded in the PKGBUILD itself. By default it uses the same C[XX]FLAGS as upstream, namely -march=nocona and -mtune=core-avx2. To change them you will have to edit the PKGBUILD itself. Due to the nature of this package some flags can cause it to fail to build or not function properly. I try to filter them out but it is based on testing. If you have a feeling that compile-time options are involved in the issues you are having please include them in your comment. Currently the filtered options are -fstack-protector-{,-strong,-all}(dxvk and vkd3d only), -fno-plt, -z,relro, -z,now. Also the use of AVX instructions is disabled through -mno-avx.

  • There have been reports with afdko failing to find its dependencies during building. I can't do anything about that as I don't maintain that package. It is NOT an issue with this package and I haven't found a way to not depend on it. Please don't report fails due to afdko (or any of its python- dependencies, they are pulled in due to afdko and only used by that), it has been discussed enough. There are possible workarounds in the comments.

  • It contains a patch to store game prefixes in the main Steam Library under $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata. It helps with isolation of game prefixes between users and works around issues with shared libraries on NTFS partitions due to drive symlinks. To enable it, set the PROTON_USER_COMPAT_DATA env variable to 1.

  • This package requires a Rust 32 bit target, please run rustup target install i686-unknown-linux-gnu BEFORE posting any issues if you're using rustup.

@somebody thanks, I just updated the package too. Thanks for letting me take care of this.

Prebuilt packages can be found here: https://mirror.cachyos.org/?search=proton

how to add this repo:

https://wiki.cachyos.org/en/home/Repo

The packages are built with x86-64 and the optimized x86-64-v3 if your cpu supports that.

@loathingkernel done.

@somebody Yes disowning it should be enough (I don't know if maintainership goes automatically to the next co-maintainer though). I can talk to the chaotic people about adding it, as they have proton-ge-custom there too.

@loathingkernel i'm fine with transferring ownership... not sure how to do that though. do i just disown?

on a side note, after merging might be a good time to request to add this to chaotic

loathingkernel commented on 2021-10-18 19:50 (UTC)

@somebody sorry for the very late reply, I withheld any further comments because my package couldn't get updated due to an outdated dependency in Arch and then it kinda went to the backburner.

I could adopt this package and update it accordingly to the pkgbuild of proton-native. After that filling a merge request should solve the comment history. Otherwise if you would like to retain ownership, I could be added as a co-maintainer. Either is fine with me.

@ynikitenko: I just don't understand why you posted this here, even though you had already figured out that it was an issue with a dependency, not this package. Oh well, glad you got it working!

ynikitenko commented on 2021-09-25 11:58 (UTC)

@somebody: thanks, it worked! All was finally installed. @xiretza - as I wrote in my comment, I installed proton (which involved automatic installation of a dependency). That is why I wrote about the problem here. Hope you didn't mean to sound aggressive even when asking about already established things.

see comments on wine-valve - installing vkd3d (not vkd3d-valve) manually beforehand should make it work
