Steam Access Fix(overlay Working Now : Steam For Mac
Valve already revolutionized Linux gaming once before by choosing to extend Steam to support the open source operating system. Now, they’ve done it again by incorporating their own version of Wine into Steam and using it to automatically launch Windows games from the same interface. That’s right. You can now play many of your Windows games on Steam with Steam Play.
Steam Play isn’t available in the official mainstream Steam release just yet. It’s still in beta, but that doesn’t mean that it’s difficult to install, exclusive, or buggy. It’s actually well polished, and you’ll find that it reliably runs a whole new library of games. Sudo emerge -ask steam-launcher Related: Enable Beta Access Once you have Steam installed and running, you can opt in to the Steam beta. Click on “Steam” in the upper-left corner of your screen. Then, click “Settings.” In the resulting window pick the “Account” tab.
You’ll find a subheading there labeled “Beta Participation.” Select the “Change” button. Pick “Steam Beta Update” on the next window and press “OK.” Steam will then ask you to restart. Related: Configure Your Settings After Steam finishes re-installing itself and rebooting, you will notice that Steam does have a slightly updated look. Return to the Settings menu, and then select the Steam Play tab toward the bottom of the window. Check the boxes to enable “Steam Play” for both supported titles, and if you’re willing to take a chance, all titles. At the bottom of the window there’s a drop-down menu that lists something called “Proton” with a version number. Proton is Steam’s built-in version of Wine, and no, the version doesn’t correspond to a version of Wine.

Open up that menu, and select the latest version of Proton. Launch a Game Return to your Steam library. Immediately you’ll notice many more options. Actually, all of your games for both Windows and Linux will be listed if you checked the box to enable Steam Play for everything. Look through your library for a Windows game that you want to try.
Steam Play support is listed along with supported platforms on a game’s page in the Steam store if you’d like to check before installing something. That said, there are plenty of games that work but aren’t officially supported. Click on the game in your library to launch it. Steam will begin installing it normally, or it will just launch the game if the game’s already installed. In most cases the game will open and run, exactly like a native Linux game would. Yes, that’s how easy Steam Play makes it.
If Valve successfully implements Steam Play across most Windows titles, they will have successfully eliminated the last major barrier to widespread Linux gaming. No one likes configuring Wine, but if the process is as seamless as Steam Play makes it, the process is a valid option for nearly anyone, and that’s a huge deal for the future of Linux as a gaming platform.
Since I downloaded the Wood Elves hotfix (this also happened with the Beta patch) I'm unable to take the game out of borderless windos mode through normal means. If I untick the relative box in the graphics options, the screen goes to black, and the game crashes as soon as I open the task manager. On top of this, the Steam overlay is gone from the game. I cannot conjure Steam by pressing Shift+Tab, and I cannot take screenshots via the Steam integrated function (both of these things were possible before the hotfix, even with the game in windowed mode).
UPDATE: I managed to fix the crash at option changes by deleting the preferences.script.txt file for the game. Launching the game again a new file was created, resetting all my settings, and the issue disappeared. That file is located in C: Users (user name) AppData Roaming The Creative Assembly Warhammer Scripts (you need to tell your pc to show hidden files and folders to find it).
I still can't use Steam overlay along with the game, which means I can't even take screenshots and so on. I reiterate I never experienced this since the Wood Elves hotfix. It was just a thought. I know DX12 does not work with Steam Overlay. Have you tried editting your preferences.script? No, but as I wrote, this thing happened both on my original preference.script file (the one the game created back when I first installed it at launch in May or whenever that was) and the new one I just forced it to create from scratch by manually deleting the old one.
I strongly suspect this is due to something in the way the game is running since the hotfix, rather than an option setting. © Copyright Games Workshop Limited 2015.
