This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.

1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.

2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.

3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.

4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

Allow your chatters to actively participate and engage with your chess stream simply by typing the moves they would like to see in the chat. :) All without the use of 3th party applications. Includes a highscore, match history, twitch emotes, twitch bot, auto moderating and tons of customization.

Chess Vs Chat allows streamers to host chess matches where your chatters actively participate and engage with the match via your twitch stream simply by typing the moves they would like to play right in the chat. :) You can play against your chat, or let chat brawl among themselfs.

While there are more apps that do just that; Chess vs Chat tries to step up the game by having more features that expand and smooth the experience. The streamer sets the timers; presses play on the game mode they like and the match is going.

Chatters get sorted in teams with their names, emotes and votes wil be shown in the game window. Bits and Subs wil be highlighted further. The names scale nice and dynamically.


This game is standalone and does not require any additional accounts or authentication besides Twitch. You authenticate to twitch using Oauth for a safe and simple login experience. After logging in for the first time, your credentials are encrypted and automatically remembered.


There are also no applications or websites (beside your stream) your chatters need to use; they just type moves they like to see right in twitch chat.
At the end of the turn the votes get tallied and the move with the most votes gets played. Of course the timer can be paused to give your slow chatters a bit more time. You can also choose to play without a timer and force turns to end whenever you please.


During the games your chatters accumulate points by participating. After the game a highscore displaying the points will show the top participants. A highscore of the game itself and a historical highscore is available! (The user database created for this information is stored as a text file right on your computer, so no external sources. ;) )




You can play a regular game from the start or you can choose to play from a set position by loading FEN code’s from your clipboard right into the game. This way you play from a fixed starting position or even try to load chess puzzles to play with chat!




Not only can the application read chat, but when turned on the game can log the happenings in a match! For chat, a Twitch Reply bot can be enabled to give the chatters the ability to receive information from the game.

• !points : Get the Points You Earned.
  
• !Games : Get the count of games you participated in, won and lost.
  
• !Messages : Get the count of messages you send.
  
• !Votes : Get the count of votes you casted.
  
• !Side : Display whether you are playing on the White or Black side.

Emotes sent in the chat will display above the chatter in the game. All the default global emotes are available right now and we are looking to add more (3rd party / channel) emotes in the future.




Every stream is unique. To match the look and feel of your stream you can customise the game to fit your needs. Not only can you change the piece sprites of the two sides independently, you can change the tile colours of the playing field and even the background colour right from the game.

The game is fully scalable to fit in your scenes. It can handle being rescaled and repositioned on different scenes live without restarts.




The game records the starting position and all moves made in a match history local on your harddrive to be available for your analysis, even when the game is off.


While moderating an extra game when already moderating the chat is a hassle. Chess VS Chat takes the moderation actions that happen in chat and automatically translate them for the game. If you ban a badly behaving chatter, he gets removed from the game also. (A muted chatter simply can’t participate.)

You can also choose to limit/throttle messages received to reduce visual clutter and reduce load for the game.
