Quoting: kuhpunktIf I may ask... how is DX7, 8 and 9 support under Wine/Proton? I mean when there's not that much left to do for DXVK, what will the dev behind it afterwards besides some bugfixing? :>

There's a project called 'VK9', that's a compatibility layer for dx9 over Vulkan. It was featured previously on GoL: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/vk9-for-getting-direct3d-9-over-vulkan-has-hit-their-28th-milestone.12662/page=2

You can even support the project over Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/disks86 [External Link]

Quoting: gojulinXile is clearly the bad news. For Obsidian it was already known.

Now it's up to Microsoft to prove they truly love Linxu...

Sorry for the off-topic nonsense, but I just had to search for Linxu. The most unambiguous hit belongs to a person named 'Lin Xu', who is a phd candidate in economics at Cornell. So that's interesting, I guess.

Quoting: NeverthelessValve is not a corporation!

Their official name is "Valve Corporation", but they're not a corporation? What?

Probably meant to say that it's not publicly traded; so no 'shareholders', etc. It's a privately held corporation.

The scope of M$'s 'love' for Linux is limited to the VMs that run inside their 'Azure' servers. Desktop usage, gaming, etc., are entirely outside it.

Quoting: anarchist_tomatoOh cool, does that work in FPS games too? I've been playing Deus Ex 2 today, and haven't had a single mouse issue, so maybe it's been fixed this release?

Are you using the 'vanilla' .exe provided by Steam, or any kind of launcher?

I used to run DXIW using this (link [External Link] 'unofficial patch/launcher' because the executable on Steam had some sort of issue -- though what it was, I can't exactly recall right now. I'm curious whether that's been fixed; because I don't feel like setting up any launchers when I'm in the mood to finally finish DXIW (I still haven't ... it's not as captivating as the first one.)

Quoting: KithopWood grain finish?!

Someone get LGR on the horn, ASAP! :p

It did cross my mind that it would be great if this were to prompt Clint to look into UNIX history. Remaining entirely within LGR's established format, he could find a wealth of material to cover; e.g. big box games from the early 00s. 'AkBKuKu [External Link]' teased some of that material on his channel, though I'm not sure if he did anything further.

Quoting: YoRHa-2BSame goes for AGS. Granted, I've only seen one single game so far where AGS is a problem, that being Assassin's Creed Syndicate, but it has the exact same issue. Runs fine on AMD after spoofing an Nvidia GPU.

This is somewhat off-topic, but regarding Assassin's Creed -- when do you think the fix for the uplay login bug, which came in wine-staging 3.19 a while back, would be incorporated in 'regular' wine, and proton?

Apropos current developments:



(I drew it with grafx2; didn't realize how tiny the output would be.)

Quoting: GuestDoes this mean Richard M Stallman will finally have a decent computer to work with?

The FSF already has an approved hardware list [External Link]; as to this new machine making it to that list, I suppose it depends whether it uses Libreboot.

In my fathomless ignorance, I look at the github repo [External Link]; and all I'm able to gather is that it's a kind of IO card. What does that say about the BIOS in these systems, though? Could someone knowledgeable take a look and comment?
