Worth noting - The Surge 2 makes use of Vulkan natively, no dxvk needed. Respect to these devs who are open minded enough to switch away from the DirectX wheel.

Quoting: ShmerlLooks cool and hopefully will come out on GOG. One major issue I have with Klei though, they practically never respond to bug reports on their forums. So I don't really see them as reliable developers. I posted several in the past, and they never responded.

I think Klei has detached from GOG a long time ago, Don't Starve is outdated as hell, especially on Linux, and Oxygen not included is nowhere to be seen. Mark of the Ninja is also missing an update + the remastered is missing entirely.

As far as I'm concerned, they're not far from being thieves for taking the money while giving a way inferior product. Supporting Linux doesn't excuse them from any of this.

Although the consumer might be at an advantage here, I can already see the downsides: More DRM, indie devs losing profit and even risk going out of business and DRM-Free stores would have to stop selling games to french customers otherwise they risk a serious issue. I doubt they will stop at Valve, it would be unfair otherwise.

This is a very bad call, and it shows clearly that the people making these decisions have no clue about games and of the challenges devs face every day. They're just paper pushers who didn't think of the consequences, which outweigh the benefits here.

Even if this rule goes against me (the consumer). I don't agree with it and I don't want it.

Quoting: PJ@orochi_kyo : how did you add media foundation libs? That's one of the things that prevents me from playing Darksiders.

I'm not using Proton however I managed to get the videos working by using the scripts from this github: https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab [External Link] (Darksiders 1 is 32bit so you need to use the 32bit installer).

There's a twist though, the mfplat.dll provided on that git didn't work (for me at least), as a solution I found a working one and uploaded it here just in case: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sQdup20USLHQdT3-EizA27In-i9b8Vu3 [External Link]

Let me know if you need help :-)

PS: I'm 18 hours into the game and has been a rock solid experience so far.

Seems I'm in luck this time around, my systemd is a bit old (232) and my gamepad is so crappy that it doesn't work with almost none of my games regardless of which kernel I use, I have to use Antimicro to game with it.

On the other hand however, I upgraded to 5.3 this morning and everything went smooth, the nvidia driver also works fine with it. Also worth pointing out that this release contains a fix for system hangs when using Vulkan on Intel HD with Kabylake (7xxx CPUs).

Supporting Linux without offering a native version is always better than no support at all. I am nowhere near as far into the game, left the "tutorial" planet and began exploring, but I'm enjoying it a lot, keep em coming Hello Games and thanks!

Very sad news, his contributions to open source were some of the best. My condolences to his friends and family.

Liam you might want to add that on GOG there's a free Demo which also has a native Linux version available. Makes it easier to try the game before you buy :)

Quoting: edoDoes people prefer to play SR 3 & 4 with proton rather that the performant VP ports?

I don't know how the VP port performs vs DXVK but this fix is helpful for GOG users where the Linux version is not available.

Here I am trying to save money and an awesome discount appears. To make matters worse, some of those games run perfectly with DXVK (looking at you Divinity OS 2).
