Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI wonder if, someday, they gonna fix the "press space to continue" bug from Bioshock 2 Remastered.

Have you tried disabling E-Sync? I tried the game when it came out on GOG and that did the trick for me. Also try to launch the game with -nointro command. See here for Ref: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/482 [External Link]

Quoting: KelvinhboI wish they would just make sure the game runs well with Proton instead of focusing resources on a native port that would surely be abandoned in a couple months.

If that's how you feel, why are you even using Linux? Go back to Windows. It's one thing to want an old game to work in Proton; one that will likely never see a native version. But you actively wish that a publisher who has announced a native port should abandon it and concentrate on the Windows port. Completely blows my mind, and again proves to me that a lot of 'Linux' gamers only care about their latest fix rather than advancing gaming on Linux.

Native ports, announcements of such, etc, should be praised, supported and encouraged. And in the long run, the use of Proton, while necessary now, should be discouraged. Particularly for new games. It definitely has its place for older games, though.

I have been using Linux since Red Hat 9 kernel 2.2 buddy, you are the one that should be going back to Windows if you are this delusional. Almost every Linux native port that I have tried over the years have performed significantly worst than on Windows, only exceptions are Valve native ports and Feral's recent conversions.

About 90% of the Linux native ports I own have been abandoned for years, Examples: Both Borderlands, both Metros, Bioshock Infinite, Dying Light, etc... the list goes on and on, at this point you can get double the performance, on some cases even more when you force your native ports to run on Proton.

Even a game that wasn't abandoned until recently "Rocket League", performed absolutely horrible on the Linux native port, I could get around 120 fps on Linux, same settings on Windows gave me 250 fps, same settings on Linux with Proton D9VK gave me 250 fps.

Maintaining different ports of games is expensive and time consuming for developers, with this magical little software called Proton all of these hassles are bypassed and everybody wins, with some tweaking I can get almost the same performance as on Windows with Proton, on a few games even better and more stable, maybe when the market share of Linux gamers is over 50% then we can start talking about native ports.

You're literally complaining about games that were ported at a time before Vulkan existed and by external companies to add to that. Which from a customer's point of view it's totally understandable that you as a Linux user got an inferior game.

On the other hand though keep in mind things aren't the same as just a few years ago, Vulkan has clearly shown it's capable of delivering very good performance and many engines now support it cross platform, thus making a native much more feasible for a developer and can be done in house which lessens the costs.

Wine/Proton is very good but it still has its' fair share of issues. Multiplayer games are still largely a no go due to anti cheat and other popular issues such as Windows Media Foundation are also present. By encouraging devs to support Proton instead of a native port basically you're telling them to keep using DirectX and other non-cross platform technologies.

I'd say this is a better time than ever to support Linux natively.

With 1 year since the original release, Deep Silver should really consider releasing on GOG too, such a title would be a day 1 purchase for me.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoPlus the STYX series has been released with a good discount...

I wonder if they work on Linux via Crossover or regular Wine.

Can confirm Styx: Master of Shadows works perfectly in Wine + DXVK.

Tested using Wine 5.0rc4 and DXVK 1.5.2. The game comes with both 32 and 64 bit executables. :wink:

Quoting: EhvisIs it terrible that I initially read that as "The Witcher"?

It's not just you, I read it the same way at first glance. A non-Gwent Witcher styled deck would be cool though

This game has become my drug during lunch breaks at work, it might be a while till I unlock the new character though. I get to Act 3 quite often but end up dying in the first few fights.

The daily challenges are also quite fun, mixing in cards from other characters can make for some powerful combinations.

If CDPR is still intent on releasing Cyberpunk for Stadia, Feral doesn't have to do anything as the game will already be running on Linux. All the devs would have to do is make the game available off Stadia.

As for what I'd like to see ported - Divinity: Original Sin II

Risen 2, not the best game in the series but it's nice to be able to play it higher than 35 fps.

Been playing this game casually, so far managed to get to halfway of Act 3. Really good game and runs well even on a low end laptop.
