Quoting: vlademir1Switching from *Buntu to Antergos is a project I've had on the table for a few years anyway

i think you have to choose another distro Antergos is dead:

Quoting: NanobangIs it possible (or even recommended ?) to use D9VK with Proton-as-SteamPlay (as opposed to, say, Proton-as-separate WINE alternative)? If so, how would a varmint like me go about making that happen?

it's easy download latest D9VK version here

Then go to the folder where your steam games are and look for the Proton folder of the version you want to replace, let's say it is Proton 4.2, extract the D9VK file and replace those in /Proton 4.2/dist/lib/wine/dxvk and /Proton 4.2/dist/lib64/wine/dxvk

In the Proton 4.2 folder there is a file named proton, edit it to replace the line:

dxvkfiles = ("d3d11", "d3d10", "d3d10core", "d3d10_1", "dxgi")

by:

dxvkfiles = ("d3d9", "d3d11", "d3d10", "d3d10core", "d3d10_1", "dxgi")

After a recent big update, Rise to Ruins breaks its own single-day sales record

it's the offer of the day effect on steam in action, being on sale in the front page get you a lot more sale especially if your game is considered to be cool rather than being buried with hundreds of others games on the sales pages.

NVIDIA have two new drivers out with 430.09 and the Vulkan beta driver 418.52.05

Quoting: wleoncioWait, so what does that make version 430? Super stable? :P

According to this link 418.56 is the current long-lived branch, and that probably make 430.09 the new current official release, but the page did not seems to be up to date.

I guess none of them are super stable and come with it's own batch of bugs :)

Quoting: PatolaWasn't 418.56 the latest version of driver 418? How can the numbers decrease?

418.56 was a stable release, 418.52.05 is a beta release based on an older branch.

The action adventure game 'Evoland Legendary Edition' arrives with Linux support
8 February 2019 at 11:12 am UTC

i'm not sure about this but i think evoland 2 was not ported to linux because adobe dropped the linux support for air, i know the first one was made with adobe air, not sure about the second one.

i tested it yesterday for a few minutes and it is working fine except for the menu who doesn't fit on the windows, once the window is at full size it's ok, plus there is no option for sound, video, etc
