Feral Interactive are teasing something for Linux next week

Quoting: liamdaweA new partnership for some ports could be very interesting indeed. I'm both excited and worried due to their wording, but I think their "reflect on it all" is supposed to be more playful than alarming.
That is true, and with the word "aurora" ... a BioWare engine ... :-).

The RPG 'INSOMNIA: The Ark' will not be having a same-day Linux release, to be worked on after

It's UE4 right? There may be technical difficutlies too.. a lot of UE4 games sadly ended up having quite some issues on Linux.

Better that and they polish the game instead of releasing it bugged, but I hope they don't abdon it due the difficulties, as other studios already did.

The Universim patched, should now work for all Linux users without a manual fix

This looks very promising to me. Will keep an eye on it.

With that specs they'll look into a dxvk/wine/proton port rather than a native port.

Sounds like a game I'd like. Will keep an eye on it, linux support + kickstarter even with official announcement - was burnt too often to pledge, but I hope the developer will be able to bring us a port. If it happens, it's a buy.

It's sadly reality that a lot of devs decide to bring out just a windows version in the end. If I was a windows user I'd take the risk of the pledge, as kickstarter evolved for linux users - I don't.

I hoped for a feature like that for a long time now. Depending on how this is implemented it could be great.

DXVK expands with Direct3D 10 over Vulkan in Wine, also info on the new Direct3D 9-to-11 project

Quoting: YoRHa-2BBut stating that game engines are not always compliant to standards is a massive understatement. You won't believe how broken some games are and how painful it can be to work around those issues. Low-effort Japanese PC ports like Yakuza 0 or Nier tend to be the worst offenders.
Sorry for that. Because I primarily blamed it on driver bugs until I realized that some things may are not as they should be...

Quoting: CorbenIs there a list of games, where people reported they got problems using DXVK?
I found on the net that Blizzard won't give you problems playing Overwatch using DXVK, but e.g. Warframe and Dark Souls 3 should be avoided.
I'd personally search the DXVK bugtracker on github, there are a lot of issues with games reported, and if not - report it. They devs actively maintain the bugtracker, but they may require quite a lot of detailled information in the bugs to fix them or work around it (as driver behaviour on windows/linux)
