Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition gets more graphical upgrades

Quoting: slaapliedje
Quoting: ArehandoroAmazing! Tempted getting this.

How's the player base nowadays? Is it based on e3.5 or e5? Is the game, and community, welcoming for a new inexperienced player? How easy is to implement mods and player content in Linux?
Can't really comment on the current community, as I generally don't play multiplayer except with people I personally know (not just for NWN, but in general). But it uses 3.5 edition. Even 4th edition wasn't around when Neverwinter Nights was released.
Back when I played the original, I never even knew there was multiplayer, mostly because I wouldn't have been interested in it anyway.
AMD confident in Zen 3 CPUs and RDNA 2 GPUs launching in 2020

I've been using Nvidia GPUs for over a decade, but I'm strongly considering a switch after this new release. Hopefully, they'll be powerful and well-supported.
NVIDIA 450.57 is out for Linux with DLSS and NGX, Image Sharpening plus more

Quoting: TheRiddickHave you even tried DLSS 2.0? (and 3.0 down the pipe will be better)

Your comments strongly suggest you've only ever read about it
If you increase resolution, reconstructed image can only be an approximation, no matter how much machine learning you'll throw at it. That's just how it works by definition.
What you're saying might actually matter if we were talking about images of real things. These are computer-generated images in the first place. Using an A.I. to "approximate" them is meaningless to your eyes. If it looks right and runs faster on your machine, why would it matter?

Streets of Rage 4 to be playable on Linux at release with Steam Play Proton

In a weird twist, this game works on Proton but crashes on Xbox Game Pass in Windows 10. :D
It appears that Valve are preparing Half-Life: Alyx for Linux

I saw a pretty good video demonstrating this game being played on a variety of VR sets for those who can't afford Valve's fancy one. Of course, you'd miss some of the control features, but it's still playable.
GRID (2019) is showing signs of coming to Linux

I tried it on Stadia during this free trial period, and it was a stutter fest. Not good when you're trying to race. I even tried it with a wired connection on my Fiber network. It was better but still not nearly as good as a local copy would be.
NVIDIA have a new Vulkan Beta Driver out for Linux - helping DOOM Eternal on Steam Play
5 Apr 2020 at 5:51 am UTC
Quoting: poke86The way I do it (xubuntu):

- Download the driver
- chmod +x on the package
- log into to tty1, run > sudo service lightdm stop
- launch the package, follow the instructions
- sudo service lightdm start

there you go, there's a chance you might have to do it again next time you update you kernel.

I'm getting 120+ FPS @ 1440p Ultra Nightmare settings now :) (RTX 2080)
And just to clarify, if you update your kernel and forget that you manually installed the Nvidia driver, you'll get dropped to the command line on your next boot to remind you. :D
Serious Sam Collection & Panzer Dragoon announced for Stadia plus some timed exclusives

I hope Google learns from Nvidia and starts offering a away to play games you already have in your Steam/GOG libraries rather than having to buy online-only versions of those games.
Google plan over 120 Stadia games this year, 10 coming to Stadia before other platforms
21 Jan 2020 at 4:38 pm UTC
Valve got developers interested in SteamOS by showing them the value of Linux as a gaming platform. Google has failed to do that with Stadia. They want developers to port to their platform exclusively. Why not port to Stadia and also release a Linux version? That gives developers more incentive since Linux already as a community, albeit a small one.
