OpenGL??? WHY!!???

Quoting: pete910Hoping to see AMD's CPU share increase.

It probably will. Ryzen and AM4 motherboards are selling so much that many models have been sold out for months all around Europe.

I switched to a 1700x too. And it's great :D

Quoting: tmtvlSame, but GPU (for the OSS driver).

Well, to see a gpu increase we'll probably need to wait Vega's launch

Quoting: GuestI must say I am not quite sure why it is being assumed that because it's a first day release of Mac/Linux alongside Windows, it's assumed that the work on this is being done in house. This is not a given at all.

When you look at the Steam page, it's Codemaster's all over the place in the editors/distributors informations. No mention of Feral, Aspyr or VP. Other ports usually mention the porting studio. It's sure not a certainty and it might get updated in the coming days/weeks, but for the moment it looks like an in house port.

Jaycee has a point. Only if the contract says so. Aspyr & Feral have their names as they assume the role of Publisher for the Linux versions.

It could be anyone doing it on a contract simply on behalf of Codemasters. Ethan Lee ports for example or Icculus don't have their details on their ports as they were just contracted to work on them.

Not going to argue on that. Never pretended it was a sure thing. This said, any hints from these 2 guys? :)

Feel free to try. I didn't buy it yet. Even TW3 I was reluctant to buy, because of how CDPR failed to port it, but someone gave me a spare GOG key, so I could test it in Wine.

Thinking of it, I actually prefer that if the game isn't really native, that it should use open wrappers (like winelib), rather than closed ones (eON, Feral's, etc). In this sense, CDPR could partner with CodeWeavers, and sponsor their DX11 development efforts, then at least they wouldn't be breaking their promises.

Just for curiousity. Can the DRMFREE version of Metro Redux run with this?

Not sure about others, but I've heard Skyrim runs very well already. At least the classic one (was there a remaster)? I'm not keeping track of Bethesda games. The last good TES game was Morrowind, and for that we have OpenMW. :)

Regarding general progress, DX11 is pretty big, so I guess it might take a while before it all will be implemented. But still, some games can work well even before that. TW3 is a good test case, because it's using really a lot of DX11 features and quite heavy ones.

WINE sure seems to pick up some steam these days. oO

I have no clue how far they are in terms of actually completing DX11 support, but they sure release a lot of patches now. :)

For me, it's Skyrim, Fallout 4 and ESO I am looking forward no longer to have to boot into Windows for. No clue how far WINE is away from being able to run these, though.

I just tested it few minutes ago, first time it run "good", with some latency. Second time i recorded, but after a while it hang up my computer. Well here the video i did fast, without audio from vr.. i will try to set better for next video. I will do it later.

Would be nice if Debian Stretch would get the newer nVidia drivers so it'd work out of the box. Not sure if they have plans to do so or not yet.

I test mine out in Arch Linux, and basically we just need more games / engines with Vulkan support.

I also noticed that SteamVR for Linux is no longer in a 'beta' channel.

Most of the time DirectX 11 still beats Vulkan. At least for the fact that most of the time we speak about ports, no Vulkan games from the scratch. But also on Windows it's rare to see DirectX 11 being outperformed by either Vulkan or DirectX 12.


Hopefully they can fix the missing cross platform Multiplayer this time. Still no excuse for this missing feature.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to make the old Oculus Development Kit 1 run on Linux? I haven't found anything yet.

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: drmothCan't wait. And Windows has only DirectX11 support, no DX12. This is a first! Go Feral!!

The reason is DirectX 11 is still performing good and OpenGL was so behind of it at performance terms

I'm happy that Feral is adopting Vulkan more and more.

Deus Ex Md and Hitman are also needs to be Vulkanized

Exactly, it seems DirectX 11 lends itself to multithreading a lot better then OpenGL, though not as ideally as Vulkan.
I'd also like to see some Vulkanized Hitman, this game is so severely CPU bottlenecked, it's detracting from the otherwise awesome experience.

That was already the case with Mad Max.

Damn just saw this on Facebook page. Excellent news, the more Vulkan the better!

Wow! The WINE team has been doing some incredible work. What a fantastic time to be a Linux user. I remember in the early 2000's trying to get the native version of Neverwinter Nights working - what a pain. Now we have Steam with some fantastic games, and WINE making progress almost every day. In another couple months the Witcher 3 should be running great. It's the only game I really miss since making the switch 100% to Linux.

Any progress with GTAV in this Release? Does it even launch or do we have to wait for staging to catch up again?

This is exciting news! I feel inexplicably confident that Planet Nomads will see its way to a final release, and I'm going to wait for that release before I buy for the usual I-don't-want-to-tire-of-it-before-the-final-release reasons.

Vulkan and cake, this is a good day!

It's funny that this news came out just after I spent a whole bunch of money on Feral games I probably won't play much. So I'll claim that I made this happen. :D

I love the push they do on this now - apparently it's got focus. I'm still hoping for a fully fledged VR experience sometime this year, although I will have to adjust my initial hopes of it happening this summer.

I didn't try it yet. But i will try this afternoon.

Look forward to the community games.
Hope they fall on the weekend.

But , I would need to see and in depth review before I buy. I want at least SOME single player to be there besides over glorified skirmish.

Nice I will test it on WH40k: Eternal Crusade.
