It wasn't my intention to be unfair, i also stated that they are early ports.(i also tried hitman and reported how feral port performed better in the old linked thread)
It is just that there are (old) games that performs better via dxvk, so one doesn't have to take for granted that the linux version will be better (performance wise).

Sure, my comment earlier was more about future and newer ports though :)

Quoting: liamdaweBingo. Feral's ports are specifically tweaked directly to run as good as they can possibly do it on Linux in the time they have. Quite different to Proton, which has such a big target I would be surprised if a Feral port ever performed worse than DXVK with Steam Play.

One of the first feral ports i played for hours, Grid Autosport, performed better in Proton:

I suspect even DeusEx MD would perform better, i could not try it because it won't even start on my side, but other people say it works, who knows.
Anyway, if is true that proton gives a 20% performance penalty, (like his developer stated on github), then it should perform 10% better on proton (Feral ports is about 30% slower than native dx11).

Quoting: liamdaweFor those talking about the price, the game is regularly heavily discounted.

Liam, you forgot to mention the regular market, for selling and buying resources.

Hmm? The what now?

Quoting: MasterSleortWonder if Feral will make use of stream-output / transform feedback on Vulkan?

Never needed it.

Probably right since it's a newer game, however, it was specifically mentioned that transform feedback was implemented for projects such as DXVK AND porters.

Only needed for games on Windows that actually make us of the DirectX feature it's designed to help with - very few use it.

Quoting: GuestI haven't played Stellaris for a long time. It got pretty repetitive after some time... I'll check some youtube let's plays to see if this shakes things up enough.

What expansions do you have? The main expansions have removed a lot of the repetitive behaviour of the game so far.

Ps. Please remember we all like different games, could we please refrain from telling people to "go back to Windows" because they don't like specific tiles? I groan as much as the next person seeing it come up constantly, but we should stay respectful please.

Quoting: compsci101@liamdawe: was there any mention of RTX / raytracing support? I might have a reason to upgrade if that's the case :)

As I understand it, for Vulkan that's all very new and so I highly doubt it. I would say no, but I'm sure Feral will correct me if so.

Updated to include benchmarks and other details. Pretty happy with it myself.
