My 1700X is starting to feel old with all these releases. I'll hold onto it a little longer with Zen 3 just a few months around the corner.

Quoting: ShmerlLooks very good. I hope they are finally using Vulkan in Unreal, not OpenGL anymore.

Last I remember, Vulkan for native Linux UE4 games was in a horrible state, performs worse than OpenGL. The first Everspace performed admirably on Linux with OpenGL even on a low end machine.

These days it's like Intel is optimizing their CPU's to combat the security flaws.

I could put up with the dev removing the Linux version and use Wine, but delisting it from GOG is a bit too far. The dev says it's too much work for little revenue, which is kinda baffling.

There are many other games on GOG from small indies, they don't have deep pockets and yet they can handle much more frequent updates than this game has put out as well as multiple DLC's.

Been playing Metro Exodus all day, for a long time I thought it was a fully open world game, but I'm not disappointed that it's not either way.

I first played Ultima 8 on my 486 PC which came on a CD with multiple EA games at the time, didn't know much what I was doing as I was still a kid, maybe this will be a good time to revisit it :wink:

Time for the Wine o'clock news:

mfplat: Shadow Warrior 2 - Still no videos
mfplat: Darksiders 3 - Still no intro video
mfplat/fixes: Outward - Still no intro, however the game now runs again (was broken as of Wine 5.7)

vkd3d/dx12: Deus Ex Mankind Divided - Game seems more stable (at least in my case) with latest vkd3d git. Performance is still superior with DXVK, but nice to see DX12 support improving.

A fine Wine release I might say.

Another exciting release. I'll re-run my usual mfplat tests tomorrow to see if anything's changed since the past 2 weeks.

On another note, Philip Rebohle (DXVK) has been working heavily on VKD3D (DX12 Support) at this repo: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d [External Link] which in turn gets merged into https://github.com/d3d12/vkd3d [External Link]

Hopefully the Linux version will make it to GOG soon, not many games sell me with the official trailer but this one did.

The CPU power on the N4200 is not bad but the GPU is weak, if it came with an AMD APU I would have highly considered getting one.

I wonder if those laptops also come with upgradable ram. Soldered on has been a real show stopper for me, I can't find a decent 11" with sodimm these days.
