SCII? Yes! Total War? Please, no!

I hope it will take shape in a good way. If so I'll buy it. (:

I don't get a few things: Maybe you guys could enlighten me?

1. Epic Store
Why do you get so crazy about it? It's basically a launcher that allows you to buy games. Nothing more, nothing less. Many publishers do have stores. Many of them have exclusives.

2. Valve exclusives
All of their titles are exclusives, aren't they? Why do you never complain about that?

My thoughts..
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have freedom of choice where to buy and a FOSS API and launcher for every single store. Unfortunately it won't get any better then Lutris. I do appreciate their work, unfortunately the GOG feature did not even work for me.

Finally Valve do a lot of FOSS tools, DXVK, Mesa developement and much more. Still they have exclusives and a store honoring DRM.

DXVK 0.95 is out with various D3D10 stability fixes, CPU overhead reduction and more game fixes

Quoting: GuestThx for the update, I play Battlefield 4 on Linux thx a lot.
I do the same! Wie can play in a Squad and communicate with Mumble if you like.?

Did the DXVK upgrade made the gameplay even smoother for you?

Quoting: LionheartNot exatly a Steam Play thing, but EA/DICE Battlefield V, a top AAA game works perfectly on Linux + DXVK + Esync.
Is Esync already included in stable, devel or staging Wine?

Does it work together with DXVK?

Time to uncork and unwind as the sixth release candidate for Wine 4.0 is out

I can run Battlefield 4 Multiplayer online (with PunkBuster) everything maxed out except for terrain details on medium (otherwise there's a shader bug) and have a soldid > 80 FPS experience: Better than on Windows 10!
The game did not even start with Wine 1 year ago.

Quoting: GuestBeen playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 and it's amazing. Other than a little choppiness when you first enter a game, which wears off quickly, it's like native.
Using Proton 3.7.8 though because apparently newer versions don't work as well with it.
Never played BC2 in it's prime. It's decent enough. Think I prefer the more open maps and slower gameplay of BF2 so far though(& 2142).
Than you should try BF4 instead: It's a logical continuation of the series and plays like a real successor.

Epic and Improbable are taking advantage of Unity with the SpatialOS debacle, seems a little planned

Whats the point? Unity fools their customers with their new licenses. Now someone takes advantage of that... What's the problem?

Maybe I just don't get it because my English sucks...!?

Well, guys, I decided not to buy too many games in the last sale and for some I decided to buy them later. Maybe I'll get another 1-2 games. Maybe some others did the same thing...

AMD have announced the AMD Radeon VII GPU and more at CES 2019

Quoting: heidi.wengerWhat about that much talked about "Navi"? So this is not it at all?
Navi will come later. Most of us are surprised to see Vega II at all. It seems AMD has seen an opportunity in the market for it, probably strong 7nm process (and Nvidia skyrocketing prices).
Where do you see this opportunity? The price is about the same. Just because of vram?
