Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port

Quoting: GuestWhy would that be the case? That's not a stopping in the least.
For all intents and purposes the stream-output fuctionality can be emulated easily and it's not really needed by Vulkan.

Metal doesn't even has geometrt or (proper) tessellation shader support, but that has never been a blocker ;)

I'm just guessing based on the game engine and how DXVK progresses, I don't know the actual reasons what Feral is facing and I don't have the technical knowledge to say anything useful regarding implementation details. I could be very wrong.
Would you mind creating a PR to emulate stream-output functionality for DXVK? ;)

I would have already if I could. But as a programmer for Feral, I think you can understand why that would be inconvenient at the very least. ;)

Ah... I didn't know and I totally understand this. :) Furthermore I guess that I'm totally wrong with my first statement ;).
Thank you very much for your wonderful work at your company! Really looking forward to LiS:BTS (and hopefully Shadow of the Tomb Raider at some point)!

PS: I really hope that Steam Proton won't change that much for your revenues, I still think there is a healthy demand for your high-quality ports.

Weren't they supposed to fix that old rusty thing on a Tuesday? But did they say which Tuesday… :D

I'm serious. Did they say what they work on?

Quoting: DuncOkay, I'm calling it: Shadow of War. This isn't after hours of extensive research. It's actually been in the back of my head for a while, and on a whim I looked up its [Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-earth:_Shadow_of_War) this afternoon:

The player continues the story of the ranger Talion and the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, who shares Talion's body, as they forge a new Ring of Power

Yes, yes, “fire and steel”, and the Ring is gold. But a forge is usually steel, and the background to the image seems to be gold. Plus Feral did Shadow of Mordor.

Not sure where the star comes in (I'm not a big Tolkein fan), but if I were a betting man, that's where my money would be right now.

Maybe because Celebrimbor is from house Feanor and the symbol of the House was an eight-rayed silver star (doesn't look the same though)?
