D9VK is no more as it merges with DXVK, making DXVK a D3D 9/10/11 to Vulkan layer

With this and Wine 5.0 on the horizon we should be getting a pretty good Proton upgrade soon, eh?

Chooseco are getting indie games using 'choose your own adventure' taken down on itch.io

Quoting: TheRiddickCommon phrases or even words from the dictionary shouldn't be trademark-able, within reason.

A lot of titles of book/game series are somewhat common words or phrases. "Foundation", "Dark Material", "Call of Duty" just to name a few.
If someone, today, tried to name a book series or game "Goosebumps" (a commonely used word/expression), they would get the pants sued off them for trademark infringement and they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

That statement makes it sound like they got bored of their own game...

Relaxing flying sim with a morphing bird 'Fugl' has a nice big update

I'll have to give it another go, it looks really cool but it was totally unplayable last time I tried it, completely unresponsive controls I could only spiral to the ground at full speed :/

Quoting: ToricI know its basically server hardware, but man do I want a 32 core desktop. Though that cpu is more expensive than my entire rig ATM...

Yeah but think of how much you'd save on your heating bill...

NVIDIA have released the big new Linux Beta driver 440.26 today

Would this be the appropriate driver to have for Proton then? I'm kind of confused with the different versions TBH.

Steam Play Proton 4.11-6 is out with newer DXVK, support for The Surge 2 and GTA 5 launcher fixes
24 Sep 2019 at 7:32 am UTC

Quoting: Xaero_VincentWhile the launcher seems to behave better with this Proton version, GTA V still isn't launching for me. It get stuck at the Rockstar logo.

Anyone have any success without using a launcher bypass hack?

The game started for me this morning but I did have to wait for maybe 5-10 minutes for the launcher to kick on. It even gave me an error message at some point but carried on loading anyway.

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääBlade Runner! Finally! Now if there was a way to get it on Steam for purchase and launching through ScummVM.
You mean like this?

I think he's refering to the fact that Blade Runner is not for sale on either Steam or GOG or anywhere else apparently.
