mangoapp vulkan layer is deleted (it was a testing project and no longer in development)

i wonder how this definitive edition is going to turn out, either an upgrade to a newer rpg maker engine like what happen with witch house and forest of drizzling rain or since this game is using the rpg maker 200x engine will they switch it to run with the easyrpg player to have more support running it with different platforms?

Quoting: legluondunetWhat is the added value today for Linux users to buy a Nvidia?
To my point of view and Linux gamer experience, it appears to me today more comfortable to use a AMD GPU, because of his better integration with Linux Mesa/Kernel.
for me it is because it was the only card i could get at a good price(the card was a 980ti) at the time of the great gpu shortage a few years ago, i plan to someday upgrade to a amd card since i don't use any of the fancyness the nvidia cards give like ai or ray tracing though since the card i have at the moment plays most game i want to play it is not worth it to upgrade yet.

Lutris is switching to ULWGL for later wine versions. See this Lutris forum response [External Link] on why 8-26 is (probably) the last wine version that Lutris supports directly.

That said, I'm baffled as to how this actually works. Lutris still has a "wine version management" tool, and doesn't list ULWGL there, so I'm not really sure how you're supposed to configure this. I use Heroic these days which seems to have a much cleaner interface for this stuff. And the GOG authentication actually loads, unlike Lutris, which just times out.

to get umu to appear on lutris as it still is experimental, is trying adding 'env LUTRIS_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES_ENABLED=1' before lutris and look for 'PROTON-GE-LATEST' in the runner version selector though i do not know if it is in the current stable lutris release or you will have to get the git version

i am curious how it deals with the issue of case-sensitivity when it comes to mods since i remember that being a big pain point with modding some games such as the elderscrolls games.
