War Thunder 1.91 'Night Vision' is out with the Chinese nation, new sound engine and Easy Anti-Cheat

Vulkan is unofficial and not supported by Gaijin at this time. You can't expect people to use it, not to mention it has crashes and black screen issues for several display engines atm.

While not on Linux officially, Far Cry New Dawn seems to work amazingly well on Linux

Just goes to show how good DXVK can be if given the chance.

Shame the game is mostly a repaint of the previous one, which seemed better in some respects.

Native is OpenGL3.3, it runs and looks horrid. Even with top end hardware.

Unfortunately EVERY game is now getting EAC Battleye etc... nothing you can do about it. It makes sense if cheating is out of control however, I think i've seen a few games bomb just because of cheaters alone!

EAC and Battleye need to work with Steamplay crew and get it rolling FAST!

DXVK 1.3.4 is out with a few quick fixes, plus more updates to Proton GE

I do believe D9VK is enabled by default for GE?

Manjaro levels up as a serious Linux distribution

Plasma5 for me runs games better then GNOME or XFCE, and seems to have less UI issues (even has fractional scaling now).

What I would like Manjaro to do is allow for extra nvidia driver (or AMD) options such as Beta/testing drivers to be selectable in its hwd installer. You can compile your own but its just confusing extra steps, I don't really see why it should be a thing.

Game manager Lutris just had a huge update with D9VK, Discord Rich Presence and more

Some games will work better or launch in Lutris that won't work under Steamplay, so its a handy tool. Also makes for testing easier since you can control versions/builds easy. (you can drop custom wine builds in the runners folder)

I bought Sudden Strike 4 but won't be able to play it until Mon/Tues because thats when my videocard returns back from RMA (it was replaced).

Was going to get a 2080TI but shelved that idea now since prices have escalated by up to %30 here in Australia so screw that!
