I've been sucked in Control. The game starts a bit slow but quickly becomes interesting after the first "boss". From a technical aspect it's quite good with the exception of a few random crashes here and there, which mostly occurs on Nvidia.

The game is also sensitive to alt tabbing and tends to crash if switching multiple times, so if you're gonna play it just sit there and enjoy the game, forget multi tasking.

As a follow up from the mfplat tests of 2 weeks ago ( Link ). The Wine 5.17 tests are here:

Shadow Warrior 2 (CUSTOM ENGINE) - Videos still broken.
Darksiders Warmastered Edition (CUSTOM ENGINE) - Videos still broken.

Unfortunately no change yet since the previous release.

As a reminder - The purpose of my tests I are for testing in game videos using the Windows Media Foundation framework without any additional workarounds or files borrowed from Windows.

For the next Wine release I'll have a few new games I never tried before.

Unfortunately no mfplat tests this weekend, something changed in the mfplat staging patches and refuses to compile on my system.

EDIT:

Wine Staging 5.17.2 has been released with 2 patches which allow compiling and compatibility on older distros. I'll see if I can get some tests up and running :grin:

This is excellent news. I have a gamepad which is incompatible with almost any game, save for a very few. Antimicro solved all these issues and these days my controller is begging for mercy.

Stardew Valley in space, now that's something I'd buy.

Quoting: mrdeathjrWait in somewhere H1 of 2021 for amd replace vega igpu with navi igpu for see improvements

:smile:

I think AMD knew that Intel's iGPU would beat Vega and were just waiting for them to make that move before unleashing Navi.

Children of Morta did my weekend. I find the game to do a good job to encourage players to use all characters, got past the 2nd boss so far.

Aside from gaming I've also switched my swap partition to a swap file. Not a big change but cleaner and more flexible that way.

Picked up the game today, and I'm not regretting paying full price for it.

It's as good as the user reviews say. It's roguelite, it's challenging but not unforgiving, Highly recommend it.

Not doing much gaming here besides the occasional Guild Wars 2 and Dead Cells runs. With this week's Wine release I've been compiling a lot of different builds for testing.
