Quoting: YoRHa-2B

Quoting: ShmerlI tested it with The Witcher 3, and somehow witcher3.dxvk-cache that was generated is just 12 bytes.

The game is silly and
a) creates multiple D3D11 devices
b) changes its current working directory multiple times.

The actual cache file you're looking for is in the /bin subdir, not in /bin/x64.

Also, Witcher 3 does not compile its shaders ahead of time, so you will still encounter stutters in this game (although it should be less annoying because it can now use multiple threads to do it in parallel).

Fantastic update, this has eliminated a lot of the stutter in Witcher 3 :-)

I have but one question - How does the new shader cache work with Nvidia? The games now seem to store shader cache in both the *.dxvk-cache file and Nvidia's own method (I'm using the __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH envvar). Do they work together or I can disable the Nvidia built in one?

Thanks for your work.

Quoting: wojtek88but take a look for example at Torchlight. There was a build for Humble, but it was done so long time ago, that almost nobody is able to play it. If a game is QA'ed and approved on Steam Play I am fine with that approach. Even if it means, that developer won't be able to support the game - I know that Valve will support it. One way or the other.

The Linux build of Torchlight still works quite well. The most common problem with that game is that it requires the libSDL2 library it came bundled with the installer to work correctly.

As for Butcher, I understand the devs tried to do the right thing here and to give Linux users a working game, in a way it's like showing they care for the little penguins. I'm just hoping Proton doesn't become the easy way out.

I don't know about the full game (way too pixelated for me to enjoy) but I just went ahead and tried the demo which uses Unity 5.5.1f1 and it runs just fine on Nvidia 396.54.06.

Great news, once this lands on GOG I'm buying.

So many discounts, might buy a few games for DXVK use. Elex is particularly inviting.

Shadow Warrior 2 here under Wine + DXVK, currently at around 15% completion. I like the RPG elements with the weapon customizations and the character progression system.

Quoting: WoodlandorOddly enough, for me, Doom works perfectly with the OpenGl 4.5 renderer.
With the Vulkan renderer, the lighting doesn't seem to work.
Haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Since you're using a GTX 760, which driver version are you running? It shouldn't matter much since the game is already a couple years old and Vulkan didn't have as many extensions back then but you never know, it's the first place I'd start.

Quoting: M@GOidI hope they make the menus less awkward this time. The first one needed some studying to get out of the game...

Once you save the game you can use the universal key(s), ALT+F4 almost never fails ;)

YESSS :-)

I really enjoyed the first game, it was fun, it was challenging and the sequel looks equally great.

Quoting: EhvisBest make that "it did". Since the Fortnite update, not so much anymore.

I was hoping to give the game a shot and see what's the craze with Battle Royale games, I only ever tried PUBG on phone which is a different experience than the PC.

Thanks for the heads up, and to @drlamb for the link.
