Uhhhh so what about Nvidia users that learned how to use Wine somewhat on their own and are still learning and helping others??

If you're still looking for testers I am on Antergos 64-bit with an Nvidia GTX 970 using the proprietary drivers...

Hey Liam,

We've released an updated version of the game today. Could you check if it fixes some of the issues you've mentioned? :)

The developers of 'Darksiders' comment on the Linux version, they couldn't fix the issues

Quoting: psychodriver
Quoting: JudasIscariot
Quoting: neowiz73worse case, they could just wine wrap it. I'd be fine with that. this would be a good candidate for it. along with Darksiders II.
If you are thinking of having a Wine-wrapped Warmastered Edition, that won't happen because Wine barely supports DX11.
There was a time when wine didn't support dx9 at all, then *poof*, it did, and pretty well.
True :) However DX11 is a different beast entirely but every release we get a bit closer to proper DX11 support :)

It's nice to see Nvidia so quick to ready their drivers for newer versions of xorg.
And that's why their cards are the logical choice for Linux, FOSS ideology/ideals notwithstanding.

We are or we aren't? :P

Wine allowed me to re-live a gaming experience I had from when I was a child on Linux

Quoting: Avehicle7887Wine is an amazing piece of software which should be loved by everyone, partially it's thanks to it that I'm now a full time Linux user as there are some games (Guild Wars 2 being one of them) which I wouldn't do without.

I only reserve Wine for old Windows games of which are most likely never going to get ported over (and occasionally Free2Play MMOs), It's nice be able to re-play a favorite old game of mine without needing Windows for it. That said I don't intend to buy any new Windows games regardless of how good they run in Wine, I believe there are enough cross platform tools to make a Linux release happen these days.

I have found some games listed on Wine-AppDB to be outdated and do not reflect how the game runs in Wine today. For example BloodRayne has a Silver/Garbage rating, however after a full playthrough last week I'd easily give it a Gold/Platinum rating.
You should check the GOG Wine thread as that has more up-to-date info :) GOG Wine thread [External Link]

BTW, those random errors that our installers throw up near the end are just related to the whole "Game Explorer" functions from Windows so you need not worry about them at all :) You should be able to see what I mean by just observing the terminal output during the install process.

Also, one useful trick to know about Unity and DX11 games: Unity games sometimes have a DX9 fallback mode so if you disable the d3d11.dll in Wine's configuration utility, you can then force any Unity game that has a DX9 fallback mode to run in DX9 :)

Last but not least, our very own GOG community has a nice thread with quite a few games catalogued that are known to work with Wine and you can find that thread here: GOG WINE thread [External Link]
