DXVK 2.4.1 brings improvements for launchers, more robust D3D8, lots of game fixes for Linux

Quoting: mrdeathjrAt simple seek vram usage down around 200mb

I guess your mileage may vary depending on the game. For low end GPUs this can mean a night and day difference.

I have a separate system with a 2GB RX 560. Many games are playable (if you temper your expectations), however performance tanks hard once it reaches the 2GB VRAM usage mark.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered announced for December 10

Generally not a huge fan of remasters, but this is one exception I'll make. The LoK games were a big part of my childhood.

I don't know many games today that can put out such a great story and that voice acting.

Yeah and elderborn cinematics stay in same situation

:smile:
Was hoping this would be resolved, there are several unity games which unfortunately suffer from this.

Maybe in the near future.

I hope by 'all existing owners' they will not forget that GOG users are also their customers.

The 200V probably means it needs 200 Volts to operate and perform optimally....

Jokes aside, I'll wait for the real world benchmarks to judge. If these processors make it to small form factor pc's I'd seriously consider buying one.

The Beamdog & Owlcat RPG Humble Bundle has some killer games in it
14 Aug 2024 at 8:53 pm UTC

For me Owlcat can rot, their pre-order exclusives in each game was a deal breaker, I refuse to buy any of theur games at any price, not even gor free.

A shame as their games are good but their practices are horrible.

Quoting: PhlebiacNice to see Aspyr did a good job on the remaster; I wish they still did Linux ports, but at least we have Proton.
I think from a business perspective it's not viable for them to invest in a Linux version when the game runs fine in Wine (and probably better in the long run).

Combining exploration, city-building and complex resource management, Scorchlands 1.0 is out now

Linux version of Old World didn't come to GOG due to developer's decision.

They preferred to axe the Linux version entirely rather than provide one without Multiplayer.

I wonder what's up with the GOG releases being Windows only.
