Quoting: alejandro-bringasJust one thing to mention.

Goodbye Windoze
Indeed. The only reason why keep my windows partition is so I can play, maybe, three games. And those won't work because of EAC. If I can get Division 2 to work, I'm nuking my Windows partition. The thing doesn't even want to upgrade anymore. Leave it to Rob Us Blind Microsoft to design an overpriced OS that tells you to simply reinstall.

So, what do we have here? Do we have a kernel module distributed with a shim wrapper?

Something's up. Four bug reports involving Riot Vanguard anticheat were worked on and closed by Julliard himself, within one week.

Take a look at these still outstanding bugs for Valorant linking against Riot. Considering how fast the wine developers pushed out BCrypt for Doom, it doesn't look like it will take long.

dosbox-staging, a 'soft' forking of DOSBox to work on advanced features has a first release

@dreamer_, what are the chances of eventually merging your changes to the original dosbox? Or merging those two projects? Is dosbox development completely dead - so dead, that it can't be even revived? Can you share some background regarding this? I'm extremely happy for your project, because I long felt that dosbox was missing user friendly features (like window resizing). But of course it would be even better if you could the same change in the original project instead of starting a new one.
>..what are the chances of eventually merging your changes..
The chances are nil. There is a lot of bad blood between the staging developers and dosbox developers.

Quoting: linuxcityI have the Mesa aco drivers should I stick with that or go with this one
You should stick with the ACO repository. Not everything that ACO needs was merged yet.
Namely some NIR bits.

The Valve-funded shader compiler 'ACO' is being queued up for inclusion in Mesa directly (updated: merged)
