Which immediately crashes the game for me :D. But anyway, that game is still having issues rendering properly for me.

I think it's great, they're late in the game, but better late than never. I hope they're seriously considering spending time and resources to implement a proper standard driver in mesa like AMD and Intel have. That would give us the real choice, AMD, Intel, NVidia without having to deal with a always half-broken binary driver if you happen to get the wrong graphics card.

As I did on my PC (which was a choice I did, I didn't expect their drivers to introduce real bugs from version to version which do have an impact on me). Or I have on my work laptop (which I couldn't choose).

If it was an open source driver, I would have at least an avenue to debug and report the issue properly. Done so in the past, have a very good experience with AMD and Intel developers responding fast and very interested if you did the according work to have a proper report. Same with the Valve developers on DXVK, which was probably the best experience I ever had reporting bugs (with Philip and Joshua).

For me that's one of the real benefits of having stuff open source: I can either fix it myself, or at least debug it far enough to provide proper findings so developers who know the implementation and know where to look - and what they're doing in that code base.

There is always risk involved. Community stuff is even more risky, but even in properly team-maintained software it happened that somebody could slip in risky stuff.

Glad to see they are looking into a curating/review process, but that will cost a ... lot of manpower, which is sad that people will be spending their time to try to eliminate bad actors.

I'll wait for some discount. I liked the first one, but I'm not willing to spend 60 bucks for that at the moment. Have enough other games to play for now which wait to be played for years now :D.

Finally. I hope they merge those on F40 once the driver comes around the corner. It is the one visual glitch which really annoys me on Wayland. Well, there are no others so far :D.

And well done .. good summary of the issue and the work put into this.

NVK is not prime time yet, 24.1 isn't even released yet (it's target day is mid-may or something like that) ;-). I hope to get it in F40 once it is so I can try to switch. Actually I decided to hold off with the upgrade until it got 24.1 (if Fedora even upgrades to minors? I think so..).

Still buggy as hell in offline mode... does loose items, crafting materials, gold on every game exit.

I think it's not that easy.

One thing valve provides especially to indies is ... a huge base and platform. They'd stay unknown or only sell 10 % of what they do if it was not for steam and their huge user base, which makes a loss of 30 % still a win.

I do not know what models Valve has, but for small indies things like "first 100k copies are only 10 %, 200k are 20 %, 300k+ are 30 %, and after a million we scale down to 20 % again" or something like that.

Could have huge implications to the platform though, so I am sure Valve has thoughts about that. But since they're spammed with indies anyway it shouldn't have too much of an impact.

Hope we can use NVK by then... since I have little hope that the proprietary nvidia wayland support will get better, to be true, it got worse from 535 to 545 :D. Those flickering issue in certain applications is annoying.
