Looks like the racing game 'Gravel' will be getting a Linux version

Driving like Dirt Rally or Dirt: Showdown? I would gladly use a lot more Dirt:Showdown style games. Something that doesn't require a Steering wheel to be competitive... If you know what I mean?

Valve have updated Steam Play with the 3.16-1 beta based on Wine 3.16 and new DXVK

Looking forward to being able to manage SteamPlay via SteamOS BPM... Maybe in Clockwerk?

Feral Interactive are teasing ANOTHER new Linux port

I'm pretty bad at this game and I can't find the link with Seagulls, but searching Aurora reveals this:

A clue to Hitman 2?

Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port

Quoting: DuncOkay, I'm calling it: Shadow of War. This isn't after hours of extensive research. It's actually been in the back of my head for a while, and on a whim I looked up its Wikipedia page [External Link] this afternoon:

The player continues the story of the ranger Talion and the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, who shares Talion's body, as they forge a new Ring of Power
Yes, yes, “fire and steel”, and the Ring is gold. But a forge is usually steel, and the background to the image seems to be gold. Plus Feral did Shadow of Mordor.

Not sure where the star comes in (I'm not a big Tolkein fan), but if I were a betting man, that's where my money would be right now.
Maybe because Celebrimbor is from house Feanor and the symbol of the House was an eight-rayed silver star (doesn't look the same though)?

A writer for Forbes has been talking about the positives of switching to Linux

Quoting: SalvatosAn acquaintance recently told me he had removed all the privacy-violating crap from his Windows 10 laptop, to which I quipped "well, what you know about at least." He insisted that he went deep into the system ripping things apart and didn't just change the user-facing settings, but I didn't have time to enquire further. I would have liked to ask why he would go to that much trouble if he was really concerned with privacy (he also uses ProtonMail) instead of just using Linux.
"Habbits are strong with this one." :)

Quoting: dodrianIf you want to be a gamer in the sense of being on the cutting edge and keeping up with the latest trends and technologies in gaming, then maybe Linux isn't for you, or not as your main gaming OS.
I might be dreaming, but Proton might change that. What I mean is that might come a day when initial releases of AAA titles will include a "Steam Play Ready" mention (meaning collaboration between Valve and the gaming studio).

Ok, I probably just put my rose colored glasses on... :)

Valve officially confirm a new version of 'Steam Play' which includes a modified version of Wine

Thanks! I do know, but I did not try 3.7.5 beta yet. Last time I tried, (3.7.4-beta) I had a hang in Witcher 3 so I decided to stick with the stable version.

As for anisotropic filtering, it doesn't totally eliminates stuttering but it's definitely much better when set to 1. At 4, it's barely playable, in my case.

Quoting: MohandevirBioshock Remastered works with texture issues (low rez?), but it's playable with good performances.
For the low res issues try the launch option:
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
That does it. All that's left is a stuttering issue, but lowering the anisotropic filtering seems to be the solution.

Thanks!

Quoting: YoRHa-2BHairworks doesn't work because it needs Stream Output. It's using standard Dx11 features.
Sweet! So we may see a working Proton/Wine/DXVK Hairworks if Vulkan implements a similar feature? So, does that means that you can't completely turn off Hairworks in Witcher3? Unless some other features make use of Stream Outputs?

Sorry, for the questions. I'm asking because I tought I turned off Hairworks (my GTX 960 can't handle it correctly, no matter the OS), but I still have the issues related to it. Stream Outputs seems to be the major roadblock for this game.

Thanks for your awesome work on DXVK.
