I could forgive the dev for not able to support Linux and opt users to use Wine/Proton. However, delisting the game from GOG was the last straw for me, I contacted GOG support at which point they've returned the money in wallet funds.

Shame though, the game was fun when I played it.

Managed to finish off Metro: Exodus today, it was a joyride all the way through. Started the DLC "Sam's Story" which picks up right after the main game ends.

I don't know what's next but I need a change of genre, most likely I'll start the first game in the 'Trails in the Sky' series.

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]
