Broadcasting works for me though, not that I've done much testing, just tried on the same system.
Oh, the sound seems busted though.

Love the achievement "screenshot", very well done, for a couple of seconds I thought it was for real somehow.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI want to see a benchmark comparison between the game running on windows, the native Linux version and the game running via forced Proton.

I just hope this is not Feral's swan song. (or should I say penguin song?)

Well, I got fed up with the slowdowns, occasional hangs and the high CPU usage just by having the client running. I really don't know why would they push this to stable when is clearly still beta material. Is shinny and cute alright, but seems to bursts at the seams from bugs. (and really, while not essential, its fonts inconsistencies and the truncated text on the left panel are driving me mad)

I found on another drive a stable client (the version just before this update), made its "package " folder read-only and set it as my main steam client. Now it can't update itself and I have an usable steam client. Have no idea for how long will it be compatible, but hopefully by then the actual client will sort its issues out.

I have mixed feelings about this. I welcomed the new UI because progress and all, but soon enough I found myself reverting to the stable client (and for years I used only the beta client).
I do like the direction they took, but as an interface is inconsistent and fragile. Feels like it was put together in haste and I believe it is too early to push this to stable status.

Well, I'm more interested in the half-full part of the glass and say, bring it on.
Google knows they have only one chance to make it right and I see they pouring a lot of impressing tech and brainstorming into this, can't be all that bad.

I see some graphical weirdness (sky messed up) in the benchmark sequence. Some other reports on Steam forums complaining about models missing (like me, on AMD & Mesa 19.2x).

Switching to Mesa 19.3.0 solved the issue though AFAICS, also AMDVLK seems issues free.

Quoting: sub

Quoting: dubigrasuBut that was a long time ago (in terms of DXVK development) and I used an old weak card to begin with.

Ha, that's a Radeon HD 7970. :D

I still have an old 7950 paired with an ancient Phenom II X4 940 and 8G of ram.
I'm amazed what this combination is still able deliver.

I'm not lying, DOOM (2016) and Wolfenstein 2 run smooth as butter on 1980p
with that rig and it looks great (at least under Windows, haven't tried SteamPlay).

Similar with my other config: Phenom II X4 955, HD 7970 and 8 GB RAM, yeah, still kicking.
I use it as an external video capture PC and sometimes I stream from it various (problematic on Linux) Windows games. I'm not throwing anything away :)

Quoting: YoRHa-2B

Quoting: dubigrasuSo considering how DXVK improved in the mean time, I'm curious if this is still the case.

Yes it is, that's due to the crazy amount of shaders that the game has. The benchmark shows the same stutter if you run it for the first time, subsequent runs only work fine due to the state cache.

Same goes for SotTR, and quite a few other games, although it's less bad with the new ACO compiler.

Would using "fossilize" improve on that?
