I wish Wayland and NVIDIA got along, but they don't really.
I like the idea of wayland even tho its still too early, apparently it could allow freesync to work on multi monitor setups and also within windows (on freesync screens). That would almost put it on par with windows freesync flexibility.

yeah I sent 3 tickets away, maybe get something sorted sometime.
EDIT: Seems its sorted now. Problem was I somehow put a typo in the change email address when I did that a while ago and it never bothered to verify said email and just went ahead and accepted the invalid email as final for some reason.

Been testing Fallout4 recently myself, tho I'm using a custom proton wine5rc4 build (without staging). Mostly been bug testing mod organizer 2 and getting that going well. Still gotta test a new patch for it to work with staging (fingers crossed).
Its funny I was considering trying FO76 but then I heard about the mass hacking of peoples loot plus all the other shitstorms, makes returning to fallout4 a much more attractive offer :)

I hope once wine5.0 comes out there will be a proton update.
Yeah its good that risen2 was fixed, I had been testing it on and off.
Also there was a major issue getting gothic3 forsaken working but I haven't tested that recently.
I do hope that in the future Steamplay will have a option (tickbox) to enable 32bit steamplay for these quite old games that work best in a 32bit container vs 64bit.

MAN I just got my GOG account stolen. Not sure how it happened because I didn't get notifications about it happening, very weird.
I did however use gog mini galaxy in the last couple weeks but my password could have been stolen over a year ago and just kept in a database until just now when someone decides to steal it. Real bummer.

This might not affect anyone here but there is a nasty regression in wine-staging that breaks a feature in mainline wine when it comes to USVFS and linking DLL files for mods, if you happen to use mod managers.
If you intent to run a modded 64bit Bethesda game, avoid using staging at this time! (or just copy all the mods physically into the game folder, ultra messy but it can work for a smaller number of mods)

I hope their able to do voice acting for this game, the characters might be a bit bland if its just text.

Some games will alter their code drastically to work around bugs, its common with NVIDIA stuff since their drivers don't attempt to be conformance.
IF you develop a game on only NVIDIA hardware it will likely simply not work on AMD hardware, funny that. :) (only terrible devs do this btw!)

Someone over at the DXVK issue section mentioned that the DXVK hud didn't work with this release? I'm not sure how true that is.

Yes its a matter of time, but lets just not forget that according to valve linux has less then %1 market share, so it certainly does have issues and I suspect its not JUST because its not marketed to people correctly. Certainly bad marketing doesn't help, might get us to %2 if done right...
