If using a DirectX to Vulkan translation layer means the port isn't native, I'm afraid we don't have many native Linux ports, as far as AAA games are concerned.
The main problem I see with using DXVK is that people know what it is, what it's used for and thus they complain about it. If they had used another layer altogether, nobody would have known what it was and everyone would be having a nice day and all.
Just so you know:

So you want game developers to re-write their engine entirely when they port their games to Linux?
If you're nice all year long, and have a strong belief in Santa Claus, maybe your wish to see game studios starting over a 3 years long development process just for you will come true :)
Oh, and those big, bad guys who like open source software, they're just evil, bearded lizards. Everybody knows nothing's better than a good old secret sauce from grandma. They're just commies who want everything for their own. Shame on them.

Quoting: mosHello there. According to your comments' tone, it seems you desperately yearn for attention, you poor little thing.Quoting: omer666Using DXVK doesn't necessarily mean it's using Wine, I think. The game seems to be native if the bundled binaries are any indication.Sigh... 3d API conversion is what makes porting difficult and perfomance to suffer. Other system calls' cost influence on performance pale in comparison.
Quoting: omer666Many ports use translation layers to convert DirectX calls to OpenGL or Vulkan.thx Cap'n
Quoting: omer666And for people who seem worried about DXVK being a catch all solution, you know it's open source, so 4A Games can fine-tune it for the game if they have to.So much for opennes then eh?

No Linux bug fix, still have shadow acne in some places, still no godrays, still no high quality world shadow.
I love Black Mesa, but this update does not bring enough for me to play through it again...

Be assured that as soon as it's released natively on Linux, it's an insta-buy for me.
You can now try the RetroArch Playtest on Steam for Linux

Doesn't work for me :neutral:

AMD Radeon RX 6800 and the RX 6800 XT are out today

Quoting: LightkeyLooking at benchmarks on Windows, I don't know what you are talking about, RX 5700 on Linux sits just where it should, which is just between RTX 2070 and RTX 2070 SUPER...Quoting: GuestDo we already know when less power-hungry cards will be announced/available?The Radeon RX 6700 (XT) cards are reported to be coming out in January.
Also, I am surprised nobody commented on the astonishing feat that AMD Mesa developers have pulled off here.
Fixing the PCIe reset bug (watch the Level1Linux video) that plagued the last few generations and finally delivering the same performance compared to NVidia. If you look at the Phoronix results, you will notice that the Radeon 5700 XT is far slower than it is on Windows, relative to NVidia's cards.
And all that on day one, which is a first for AMD's Mesa drivers, I think!

Fedora's linux-firmware package with support for RX 6800 series is now stable.
