Wine-Staging 2.1 release with CSMT support for DirectX 10 & 11

JudasIscariot, your guide help me along time ago to get my controller working.
But, to use x360ce, you are going to need the xboxdrv userspace utility and
the uinput kernel module. Boiling steam didn't mention either one of those.

Also wine does have a builtin testing program for controllers. Assuming,
Arehandoro, didn't already know. To use it you'll need to emulate a virtual
desktop environment. A familiar 'start' button will appear on you desktop.
Click on that and then locate your wine control panel. You can test for
connected controllers and test the button layouts.

This is the ticket of the Steam support about the use of the same credit card on two or more steam account...
I have two accounts one for linux and one for windows. I use the same card on both accounts.

You can not use the same credit card or paypal account on two or more steam accounts... I asked that to the steam support.
That's not true. I have two steam accounts and I use the same debit card for both.

Quoting: PlutonMasterSniper Elite v2 works but in the menu it is messed up.
I tried it but a get a message that reads: "Sniper Elite V2 requires "Platform update for Windows Vista" (KB971512) to be installed..."

My prefix is Win7. How did you get past this?

Has anyone tried witcher 3, lately? The bug report for the
game was talking about 'deferred rendering contexts'.
If I read it right, this should get it to work.

I can handle the xenomorphs. But, what gets me are the facehuggers. They scurry along the floor.
You don't know where they are coming from. I hate those things.

I was at work and heard a strange Christmas song.

It was Jingle Bells by Yello(Dieter Meier).

Quoting: SystemShockThese are great News !

Is it possible now to save a Game and keep the savegame after a Restart of Doom2016 ?
I'm not talking about check or waypoints.
Just leave the steam client in offline mode and your profile
will be saved locally instead. No multiplayer yet.

Feral Interactive's Linux ports may come with Vulkan sooner than we thought (UPDATED)

Quoting: SgtRomeo9...I do feel its important to mention that Deus Ex Mankind Divided is using DirectX12 on Windows and the Mac version is running on Metal. The Linux version is the only one that is going to be running on old tech (OpenGL). Just thought I'd mention that aswell.
Feral never saw the DirectX12 code until they were well into development.
DirectX 12 support only went public in the first week of September.
