Quoting: GuestThen you have to buy their hardware, which was advertised for 130$ iirc.

Just to be clear, you don't need to buy anything for Stadia. You only need to now, as Stadia Base isn't out, which is what's noted in the article. Even when it's out, you don't need to buy their official gamepad - plenty work with it as do mouse and keyboard. All was covered in my initial thoughts article.

Quoting: TcheyHm, i feel i'm missing probably very obvious, but still don't get it...

What is the name of that executable single file i should paste into the game folder ?

From the GitHub releases section, I linked the direct file [External Link] in the article.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPCan't blame them for shifting focus away from a game that just doesn't perform well.

That's not really what's written in the article. More like the opposite of what you said...

Yeah, exactly, they're attempting to actually speed up their updates and their team has grown.

Quoting: Guest"Running DX Games on Linux Over Vulkan"
(page 15 of https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/apis/Vulkan-1-2-Launch_Jan20.pdf [External Link])
If anyone doubts the importance of GNU/Linux and gaming, that they're calling out the explicit ability to run DX titles on "Linux" in Vulkan standards updates shows that the industry most definitely has an interest.

That's great, I expect to grow with time. Also i find interesting to see on page 4 Metro exodus using Vulkan. I hope it's for a linux port (the other two have a native one), not only for stadia...

It means Stadia, same for Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2.

Even if they don't come to the Linux desktop (not right now anyway...), an industry shift to Vulkan is going to be a big help anyway. That should be celebrated, open APIs are where we want game development to go.

Quoting: TcheyThat's very nice !

However, i don't understand how to install that.

- i DL Cortex on Steam with Proton.
- DL both github zip
- open each zip and copy all files in the folder Steam is opening when i check local files
- undo Force Proton
- click Play on Steam

= Error, missing executable
or play via Proton as before.

Download with Proton for the data.

Unzip the release download, the single executable inside it is placed into the game folder -> run the executable. That's it.

I've updated to attempt to make it even clearer.

Quoting: GrimfistOh this game finally has Linux version? Got interested in the beginning, but without Linux support I lost track off it. Seems I need to revisit this game. Thanks for mentioning ;)

It's had a Linux version since 2018 :), covered the release here. Haven't regret the purchase, brilliant stuff.

But Steamplay/Proton/DX*K is okay for you?

And DOSBOX, ScummVM, Emulation and everything else we cover. If people don't like it, they need to get over it. It's here, it works on Linux and we're covering it.

Quoting: HJalso why are you covering stadia all that much? or doom 5 specifically? trailer also didn't show steam icon, so we can assume bethesda launcher exclusivity already which means harder to use with proton.

Why - Stadia works on Linux, as we've shown, it's another way to play games on Linux. It has nothing to do with Steam or SteamOS, you do realise we're not a Steam-only website right? We are Gaming On Linux.

I've made that clearer, yes time continues when you're not on.
