Quoting: F.Ultra

Direct3D Feature Level 11_1 is now supported.

So I take it that DXVK is now DX11 feature complete, this is incredible news!

I wonder when they'll bump the release version to 1.0 -- when they reach D3D10/10_1, maybe? The wiki page isn't very explicit.

I wonder if the Linux version of the Enhanced Edition will be available on GOG.

Quoting: ExpalphalogThe most obvious thing to spring to mind is Starforge (Star from the picture, Forge from the description) but considering that game is old, everyone hated it, and I think it's even free now, I doubt that's what they are teasing.

'Starforge' brings to mind KotOR 1 -- which is long overdue for a native version on Linux.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI see this as a good thing, recently a developer stated they couldn't port to Linux because, in their own words, they didn't have a Linux pc, well that excuse is now null & void thanks to Steam Play, there's absolutely NO excuse for Developers to ignore Linux any longer.

I don't see how that would work -- without a Linux machine, they still can't test if the proton wrapper works properly or not.

Quoting: dubigrasuNaive question, what's with the name Proton? Must be some reason behind this name. Just curious.

The idea must have come from Codeweavers (who are apparently helping Valve with this); they told Valve to 'cross-over the beams'. The beams from their proton packs, that is.

What's going on in the picture with the crane & the statue? Is it a reference to the film 'Goodbye Lenin'?

Quoting: GuestOh and while it's nice and all to have DOOM II, Ultimate DOOM and Quake on that list, some great source ports already natively support linux, presumably to use a source port this way would involve using a windows version of said source port.. But what would be the point in that? :p

To be honest, it seems to me that including those titles in the list has no point other than making it look a little longer.
I'd like to think that a Linux user interested in playing DOOM (or Quake) would probably know that there's 'stuff' (chocolate-doom, the shareware levels for both DOOM & Quake 2, freedoom) in the core repos of pretty much every distro.
Though, then again, I might be overestimating the extent to which 'the average buyer' has a clue as to why it's better to play on source ports as opposed to dosbox.

Quoting: slaapliedjeBut to be fair to DS9, a lot of weird things got into the Original Series of Trek

You mean, like this:
Space Hippies [External Link]

Or this:
Abe Lincoln in Space [External Link]

By the way, is the new PatStew series at all related to the next season of 'Discovery'? In the latter they're introducing time travel, so Captain Pike seems to be a regular character -- and if that is so, then Spock is certain to be introduced. (So much for 'a completely new direction', I guess; though I haven't watched Discovery at all yet.)

Nice... Can you go down inside the battle station, and detach the saucer part?
