I love this game. Need to give it a go again. Though, I love the gameplay of the raven clan, this one sounds unique enough that I'll want to try it.

Nice, especially the merge of D9VK.

I'm not worried at all that DXVK enters maintenance mode. Maybe they can make some good use of certain Vulkan extensions in future, but well, I played several (a lot of) games using DXVK which I had issues with in Wine.

Most issues I have linux gaming are most likely wine bound. Things not starting properly, hanging on closing etc.

Though, I hope for this release to be soon packaged with proton.

And I'll have to look what's up with D9VK and DragonAge: Origins which shows not very nice rendering issues in character creation. Or did in the past. And there is no bug report to be found for this (but the character selection seems to be somehow broken anyway, had it's fair share of issues in Wine too).

Thanks Alex for all the work and effort put into the ports with your team.

I'm pretty sure you'll find other challanging and interesting things to work on over at Sony. Good luck on that journey.

No idea why, but my proton (newest version) still shows DXVK 0.98 with DXVK_HUD=full. As you'd expect, a lot of titles don't run properly :p.

That actually Lutris gets some funding due to that is great. I personally didn't expect it, but if the CEO is actually suggesting it it's probably almost a done thing. But hey - wouldn't be the first thing which didn't happen ;-).

Doubting Lutris has a full time dev with 1,245 on patreon, that's for sure welcome.

After other platforms for gaming on linux, Lutris really has come a long way and it's a great platform. It's just well deserved they get some funding too, and if they can use it for funding their platform or even some development - the better.

I personally was very sceptical about Lutris in the beginning, but they really worked towards making it a platform and not a game launcher as others before them.

Well deserved, and I hope they'll continue their great job on the platform. It's a great tool for gamers who don't want to fiddle too much with wine configs (as me :D).

They're in for the long run. Will take them years until the library is "big enough" to make it even viable. They're throwing their weight at the gaming market, and they've cash enough to sustain that, especially controlling the android ecosystem.

We'll be able to judge if Stadia was a success or not in ~5 years or so.

I'll use GE for now. I've issues that the dxvk and d9vk are pretty damn old in Proton (at least judging what it tells with DXVK_HUD=full, the versions are ancient in 4.11-7, especially for d9vk compared to the development speed there).

It even shows dxvk 0.99 for me for some reason in 4.11-7, which should not be the case.

Interesting. Wondering why the step was taken.

Not that I am particularly hyped with rollback networking, but it's one way to tackle the issue.

It's good we have a solution to this in the open source world with MIT licensing now. Can't hurt right?

Not sure what to make of the tower defence part... I usually don't like that gameplay, but I like base building, so I'll probably try it.

Good game, and the devs put some work into fixing the initial issues, it really runs well now.

I have fun playing, though I cannot get done all achievements on the highest difficulty, I seem to be not very good at the game, but it's a lot of fun :-)
