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.

Age of Ascent is a truly massive multiplayer space game set in a vast galaxy. It features direct-piloting real-time battles with thousands of ships in a single universe, an entirely player-driven economy, deep strategy, and exploration in an evolving sandbox world.

The year is 2176 and humanity has been forced to abandon the earth and rise into space, to start a new civilisation. Faster-than-light travel and communications have been achieved, and now it is time to help build the new world and fight for your way of life.

Age of Ascent is a truly massive multiplayer space game set in a vast galaxy, where you can play solo or join an alliance to explore and advance in an ever-evolving sandbox environment. It features six degrees of freedom direct-piloting real-time battles with thousands of ships; millions in the same galaxy, an entirely player-driven economy, deep strategy, and multi-device support.

We’re using the real Milky Way star catalogue and as much real science as we possibly can to provide a vast galaxy to explore, but with a unique custom visual style. We provide deep game play that encompasses all components of strategy-based and first-person sandbox MMO games where players interact with each other and the universe.

We've held regular playtests of the real-time dogfighting module, as we tweaked and optimised the combat code and physics engine. All that work - the most critical layer to get right - is finished!


We have now moved on to the core components of the rest of the MMO experience, ranging from trade/industry and missions, NPC AI & 3D pathfinding algorithms to the new, full UI, incorporating build-your-own cockpit and multi-device support:

• Real-time, epic, direct-piloting battles using our brand new cloud-based distributed MMO architecture that can support thousands of players in the same battle
  
• Everyone plays in the same universe, even across devices
  
• Multiple ship classes and modular ship loadouts
  
• A fully player-led economy from resource gathering to manufacturing and trading
  
• Exciting and rewarding galactic exploration
  
• Play solo or in groups, larger than you've ever seen before
  
• Player vs Environment (PvE) mission running and Non-Player Character Faction AI
  
• Alliances and Clans large or small as you wish, with sophisticated management and access tools

Once we get all of the initial gameplay framework up and running, we will start to layer in enhancements and further depth of play:

• New ship and hull classes (science ships, support ships, drone carriers, weapons platforms, minelayers and minesweepers, stealth recon)
  
• Build and manage space stations
  
• Claim territories and build an empire in space
  
• Deep and involving storyarcs that will play out over days, weeks and months
  
• Build your own multi-device cockpit
  
• Multi-player options for co-operative capital ship flying
  
• Banking and advanced currency exchange systems
  
• Full set of player APIs and extension libraries
  
• Advanced control and display device support (such as Oculus Rift)
  
• Player-operated tournament arena combat and racing zones
  
• Multiple language localization

“Thousands of players from around the world in dogfights across a single, continuous battlezone without sharding or slowing down gameplay… a grand experiment”
PC Gamer

“Oh man... look at that! Look at those particle effects just going everywhere…. Oh my god. Sorry. I need to take a second here and take a few screenshots.”
Indie Game Magazine

“Brilliant… I’m just like ‘oh my god!’…. If you’re a spaceship fan you absolutely have to get in and muck around with this… you should totally get there.”
