Quoting: Stupendous ManOh, and Lego - you can never go wrong with Lego!

You do if you step on one.

It does look quite a bit better compared to the last time I played it (it's been a while).

(I like the idea of playing as Beastie to save the Gnu in this game, haha.)

Quoting: PatolaHave they finally added stream output to this driver? NVIDIA is quite clear that the series 400 is optimized for GTX 20 series, I facepalmed when I saw distros like Arch standardizing on this driver series for all nvidia cards when they would fare better using, say, the 396 series (stream output came first on 396.54.09). Bigger version numbers are not always better.

negativo17's repo for Fedora does the same.

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?
