I remember being very excited about the Serious Sam ports! Then bitterly disappointed with how buggy they where...
In the end I guess it was a good thing icculus didn't have time to finish them (back then) as it meant he was too busy actually being employed to port so many other games.
Anyhow, lovely article as always!

Sounds like an offer you can't refuse…Collabora held a gun to his head, and assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the Signed-off-by line in git...

I don't think GE have shipped the actual mfplat dlls for some time now (looks like it was removed inProton-5.5-GE-1?).
The problem is twofold:
1. Implementing the api in Wine, this is a work in progress but seems to progress nicely.
2, Decoding the actual video. On a normal Wine install, decoding uses whatever copy of ffmpeg (via Gstreamer) and works because most distributions take a don't ask-don't tell approach to the problem. Proton doesn't use your system libraries and Valve can't legally ship a usable ffmpeg for fear of infringing on the video patents.

The person who explained that fsync is unsuitable for Wine upstream is the person who wrote esync, and fsync, and suggested and is writing an implementation for the real solution winesync.

Quoting: Nociferkind of headbutting with Wine upstream, just like what has already happened with DXVK and more recently with futex_waitv. Wine upstream is proving to be more than annoying in that regard, to say the least.No headbutting with Wine upstream for futex_waitv.

Gross sales... I guess this is what happens when the unwashed masses decides to buy your game. Disgusting!

It's a clear branding issue. Just rename this new version to Difficult Anti-Cheat and everyone will be satisfied!
