Quoting: Sir_DiealotIsn't DXVK that project that just went into maintenance mode because it's not feasible to develop it further?

No, that was other sites making a mountain out of a little GitHub comment rant. Don't read into it.

Isn't GitHub the only channel the DXVK dev uses to communicate? In those little comment rants he clearly stated that after the merge of D9VK his project is going maintenance mode, because it's a "fragile, unreliable and frustrating maintenance nightmare". AFAIK he did not retract that anywhere. Do you know something we don't know or what?

No it's not, they have their own Discord. Don't take comments made out of frustration, as actual plans.

TIL Discord is official, GitHub is not.

Said nothing about official, I simply answered your question on GitHub not being the only place the DXVK people communicate.

Quoting: 14Space Haven just might earn my money by releasing earlier than Starmancer. I'm really more eager to play Starmancer and I think I heard of it first, but Space Haven looks similar and will be out soon. Starmancer seems like they don't know a release date still.

Yeah, Starmancer seems to be taking a lot longer, as they went back and re-did some stuff.

Quoting: TheRiddickTry getting a game from GOG for Linux and install it without command line, can't..

GOG use a very clean MojoSetup [External Link] install, for all their games. Download, make executable, open it. It's no more difficult than opening a zip file.

Quoting: subWhen has been the last time you heard some enthusiastic plans
about Linux from Valve?

fsync and ACO are quite big efforts.

Exactly. ACO affects AMD GPUs in a big way across basically all Linux games.

Quoting: KimyrielleThe worrisome bit is that our market-share is still exactly the same 1% it has been before Steam for Linux was launched (which was arguably the birthday of Linux as a viable gaming platform). I clearly thought that the only thing Linux needed to take off as platform was games. We got games. But still no growth. And that's -despite- Microsoft decided to do us a favor by replacing the well-liked Windows 7 with that buggy mess of spyware that is Windows 10.

Honestly, if the thousands of games we got was not able to give us a push, I am not sure what could.

As I mentioned in my other comment: Marketing. What have we had? Basically nothing. There's plenty inside the Linux circles, not enough that's made and pushed out to the masses.

We can have as many games as Windows, it would still hardly budge us until some marketing starts to sink in and Linux is available at top tier vendors and advertising as being available on their machines. That is still our single biggest hurdle and will be for a long time. Dell are slowly expanding their Linux machines though and System76 continue doing great work too but we need a lot more.

Quoting: bradgy

We're still small, we are a niche market and we're going to remain that way likely for some time.

What, if anything, do you think will move the needle in this regard?

Marketing and more vendors having Linux installed on their systems. Currently, the Linux desktop has very little good marketing.

Quoting: barab4I hope that Gothic 3 will now work without massive stutters. Does anyone know when will this update be available on Steam? (I don't want to do any manual work, expect right click and select Proton version"

The next version of Proton would usually pull it in, but no idea when that will be Valve have no release roadmap.
