Risk of Rain 2 works very nicely on Linux thanks to Steam Play, it's also pretty crazy

This looks like a game I would buy, however as a Windows only one, the only way I'd ever buy this is on GOG and on a discount.

DXVK 1.0.2 is out with some bug fixes, d9vk seems to be progressing nicely

I've been following the D9VK development regularly, I don't understand a lot of what's being implemented but I can clearly see a lot of work is going into it every day.

As for DXVK I believe Predication is the next big thing, possibly for v1.1?

I've tested PoE with this release, it's only a virtual-desktop simulation on a 1080p monitor but the result is clear. Nice to know I won't encounter issues should I upgrade. Thanks Philip :D

I've tested Darksiders - Warmastered Edition with this release, FMV's are still a no go even with this release (staging patches included).

The Rise of the Giant "free DLC" for Dead Cells is out and it's fantastic as expected

Liam you may want to consider trying out Antimicro for controller support, it is an excellent piece of software which lets you map keyboard functions to a controller. I am using it with a cheap controller and works very well with Dead Cells.

I watched the new release video and have been left enchanted by all the hard work that is constantly going into this project.

Thank You!!

Looks like Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 may be coming to Linux

Nice to see there's chance for a Linux version. I'd definitely buy it. For now I'm happy this isn't going to be a 1 year Epic deal (so far).

Wine 4.4 is now available with more Media Foundation API work

Just tested Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, videos still don't play without the native overrides. I'm glad the Wine team are tackling this important piece of the puzzle, it's a feature many games depend on.

Wine 4.3 is out with the XAudio2 reimplementation 'FAudio' included

Quoting: VodkaChicken
Quoting: Avehicle7887Anyone know how I can use FAudio with older Wine versions? I know Proton does this for a while but how about using it with just Wine?

So far I've managed to build the "libFAudio.so" library but I'm at a roadblock how to get Wine to use it.
Try using these mingw builds https://github.com/Kron4ek/FAudio-Builds [External Link] as dll overrides.
Knew I was missing something > building the libraries as native dll's it seems. Will try these thanks :)

This may be the first Unreal game using Vulkan on Linux. Hopefully more will follow.
