NVIDIA takes on AMD FSR with their new open source Image Scaling
16 Nov 2021 at 3:52 pm UTC

Quoting: erik-reiderI've heard that Intels DLSS competetor will be open sourced and will work on AMD and Nvidia GPUs (with a lower perf boost). Can anyone confirm this? If that were true it would be the go to solution if it doesn't suck ofc...

Yes, that is correct.

Valve answers the question: should developers do native Linux support or Proton?

Quoting: GuestIt's quite a non-committal answer, the sort you get from politicians.

I didn't really hear it that way at all. After all, Valve are not the developers of all the games, they're just providing the main platform - it would be overstepping somewhat if they then forced developers into a specific way to develop their games. I took it as-is, developers are free to choose and as long as it works, Valve are happy.

Proton 6.3-8 gets a first Release Candidate, lots of games working on Linux

Quoting: LamdarerNot sure if you already mentioned it but Planetside 2 [External Link] seems to work with Proton Experimental and the Proton BattlEye Runtime installed!
Which is not supported by Valve or the developer. The same happened with R6 Siege, and then it stopped working. Until Valve / the dev confirm, I just wouldn't risk it.
Nah, it has been working for over a day already. And it only works with BattlEye runtime installed.

I am very aware. What I said stands.

Forza Horizon 5 on Linux? Yeah okay fine, Proton Experimental was updated

Quoting: NameHereI often see this sort of thing and wonder: are these general fixes to proton that have been missed?

Or is there now a line in proton something like:
if
Age of Empires 4 do these things,
else if
Forza Horizon 5 do these other things

Why are game specific fixes or hacks needed so often?

A lot of it is because Wine, DXVK and VKD3D-Proton are incomplete and chasing often moving targets. It's a matter of completing API support for Direct 3D, Windows APIs and so on. In some cases, there are specific fixes for certain games, like forcing your GPU to be shown as a specific vendor and stuff like this.
