I tried to be as neutral as possible on my opinions even being a Gaúcho myself.
Hold up! Does this mean we have another GoL contributor who's also a cow wrangler!? :shock:

Quoting: EikeStill don't see it...
Some glitch with the game rating used in Germany? The game is rated but the demo is not?

Try the install button here instead:

Quoting: EikeAFAIK, there's "meteorological winter", starting with Decembre 1.st, and astrological (calendar(ical)?) winter, starting late in Decembre at winter solstice. First one makes more sense to me...
There's also Norwegian winter, starting October 14th! Poor dears.

Quoting: qraziI can only select 4:3 ratio resolutions it seems. Could not find in the documentation or the GitHub issues how to change that. Anyone here knows by chance?
This might be worth a try:

Dev of Proton Sarek for older GPUs has forked DXVK to backport game settings and improve compatibility
27 Nov 2024 at 9:44 am UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: FireBurnThe project says without needing Vulkan 1.3, so which version of Vulkan are they targeting?

Of the x86 Vulkan drivers only hasvk isn't 1.3 - it's not even vulkan 1.0

If it's targeting the arm drivers it hasn't really said that either

I'm not sure who this is supposed to be helping
"On NVIDIA cards, it should be all the ones that are stuck on the 470 drivers, previous drivers like 440, 415, 390 and Nouveau users.

Intel && AMD:
Any GPU or iGPU that is OpenGL only or has a Vulkan API lower than 1.3."

From https://github.com/pythonlover02/Proton-Sarek?tab=readme-ov-file#gpu-list [External Link]

At least on the AMD side, this would be 12+ years old GPUs.

2K Launcher is finally no more - that's at least one publisher making things better for gamers

Rumor is that they sold it for a profit to Ubisoft who will now double up on launchers just to keep you safe! :tongue:

Edit: Guess it was Sony, not Ubisoft that used the "safe" excuse. Ruined my own joke :shock:

Wine 9.22 released noting the 'Wayland driver enabled in default configuration'
23 Nov 2024 at 11:35 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: WMan22What do they mean by "Support for Display Mode Virtualization", is gamescope built into wine now or something?
I think it's this merge:

"[I]mplementation of display setting virtualization using DPI scaling, ie: Proton fshack done right.

There's various things to tweak still, and this will stay as an experimental feature with X11 (Wayland actually needs it to implement display mode change so it's as experimental as the driver)"
