DXVK 1.4.3 released helping games with a large number of different shaders
20 Oct 2019 at 3:17 am UTC

Quoting: YoRHa-2B
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIt is enabled.
Then there's nothing you can do besides maybe trying wined3d. D9VK and DXVK do need more memory, this is a known problem with 32-bit apps.
Well.. There are things I can do for to play this game:

*To sacrifice graphics quality for to get performance, removing the UHD textures pack and keep using D9VK, waiting for improvements in the memory usage [External Link]...

*To Sacrifice performance, playing the game with Proton's default OpenGL for DX9 games, like you said.

Spoiler, click me
*Or to play this game with the maximum performance and graphics quality on my other machine with Windows 7, with Physx enabled.

At the end of the day, D9Vk and DXVK are tools in beta stage and I use Steamplay just for the sake of the Linux gaming experiment :)..

Quoting: YoRHa-2BThen nevermind, it just happens because it's a 32-bit game and runs out of address space. Please mention such things in the future.

Try PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1.

NVIDIA have released the big new Linux Beta driver 440.26 today

It seems that 440.26 is not a beta anymore...At least, according to this [External Link] Ubuntu PPA

Quoting: YoRHa-2BIt means that you're running into this [External Link] problem with the Nvidia driver. No official fix available at this time, although they know what's causing it.
Is from Borderlands The Pre-Secuel via Forced Proton, with high Resolution textures pack installed and D9Vk enabled..
With D9Vk disabled the game doesn't crash, but the performance sucks..

I'm gonna continue in the github you mentioned...

The Linux port of Shadow of Mordor from Feral Interactive has gained a Vulkan Beta, a massive difference
18 Oct 2019 at 3:53 am UTC

Updating an old game with a new technology is not about monetary profit; is for to gain development expertise and, at the same time, bringing the legacy users and new users a better gaming experience..

Feral, Aspyr, VP.... and Valve must update their Linux ports to Vulkan...

By the way, with Stadia around the corner, there will a lot of job for Linux porting companies.

Project RIP, a new FPS released recently with Linux support and it looks action-packed

Interesting indeed!
Native Linux.... Spanish support... and only 2.62U$D..
I will buy it.

Valve will bring out 'Remote Play Together' to give online support to local multiplayer games

That explain this [External Link] Shadow of the Tomb Raider update.

A guide to Steam Play Proton, Valve's tech for playing Windows games on Linux / Steam Deck

Quoting: scaineGreat guide though. Thanks for this - the gifs tell the story better than words ever can. It's nice to have a guide on a Linux technology that doesn't need you to open a bash shell!
I have honestly never understood why the bash shell is such a huge problem for people. I mean, a lot of stuff is easier, faster and more precise to do via a shell command than in the GUI. Especially when people have different desktop environments.

For example, installing programs. I only use synaptic when I don't actually know the package name... or I want to install a large list of programs.

sudo apt-get install firefox

is much faster and easier than going through the GUI. (Using Firefox as an example)

That said, I think that articles and posts that give people commands to run could do a better job of explaining those commands.
The shell IS a problem for regular Windows users testing the Linux waters...
Steamplay is supposed to be a click'n play experience.

And if You are 40+ years old like me, the bash shell will remind you so much MS-DOS...
I used console commands 24 years ago...No, Thanks!

Is the developer's duty to make a proper click'n play Linux experience for the users... (especially, the Windows users, if the migration is the target)

Remember that all these Linux experiments by Valve are part of a plan B in case of Microsoft closing the garden with a pay wall.

What's that? Another Steam Client Beta update? With a Linux platform filter? Yes it is

I hope they finish this beta stage before October 28.
