Naah. More like two thirds. Y'all know that there's only three people gaming on Linux.

Why do people keep wishing for Skyrim?
It was released way before Steam on Linux, when most of us played on Windows,
and most people who wanted to play it have it through as many times as they wish - not?
Most, but not everyone. And there's a lot of mods, including total conversions, adding to the "replay value". But I don't care much for a port, "oldrim" (TESV:LE) runs great and their remaster (TESV:SE) seems to run pretty well with Proton/DXVK. It would be cool to have a native port but I'd rather have TESVI on Linux when it gets released.

There's your flame war :P [External Link]

Jesus f*cking christ. :woot: I'll keep my wineprefix with Gallium-Nine for obvious reasons but this is great news for all these D3D11 games I grabbed with some bundles.

Praise the Gaben!

Quoting: slaapliedjeNah, for a game this old it probably only uses a small amount of the spec. On the otherhand DX 11 requirement means that it requires Windows 8+, right?
D3D11 was introduced with Win7, IIRC.

Quoting: Duncthey did have shadows at one point, but removed them due (as far as I recall) to bugs. It's on their to-do list, but quite far down I think.
I'm pretty sure this was working quite well, but was lost during their switch to the OpenSceneGraph graphics engine (which improved the performance quite a bit). They lost that, multiple custom shaders, and distant land rendering, IIRC. I'm pretty sure this will be brought back at some point.
Yep, you're right (source [External Link]).
