Yeah it makes no sense playing Dying Light native when with Steamplay it gets close to double the framerate!

Needs native vulkan support, IMO OpenGL is just not able to keep up with DX11 for the most part, this is obvious when comparing them in excellently optimised Talos Principle. It's bit of a shame.

The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut is now out, adding Linux support and other goodies

Did they enable Vulkan API support (its been in Unity since 2018) ?

Apparently Gothic3 forsaken gods ee should be fixed also but I can't test it due to no GPU.

What have you been playing this week and what are you clicking on this weekend?

NOTHING, because my 1080TI is dead and in for RMA...

Hello Games appear to be keeping an eye on Steam Play with No Man's Sky, temp fix needed for NVIDIA

Quoting: Fakeman_PretendnameI've had this running fine on my Nvidia........
You're not the first Nvidia 9 series owner who has reported to having no issues. I suspect this is a problem with 10 series and above nvidia cards.

As for that error output, the build process needs the wayland client packages installed (or just dev sources probably). Does raise the question as to if this trick only works on wayland de's ?

Dino survival game Path of Titans has been fully funded ready to support Linux

Bit of character clipping going on there :)

I would love a game like this to use the Spintires engine (havok), physical interactions with other objects and ground would be pretty nice for a dino game.

I'll be waiting for valve to release a wireless headset with similar or better features then index. There are other companies trying but never quite ticking all the boxes, see what 2020 brings.

Facepunch adjust their Linux plans for Rust, refunds being offered as it won't continue at all

Be nice if Valve reduced the cut for Linux titles, like to %15 or something, give some incentive for the platform since they think its going to be the future, one day.

The problem I see happening over and over again is that developers license quite OLD versions of these engines which only have directx support, and make so many changes that they can't update their games to newer engine builds, or it takes them forever.

Maybe the OLD version of the engines are cheaper to license then newer ones, even some newer/updated games will mysteriously not embrace new engine features such as Vulkan support. This absolute dependence on directx and its libraries has really hurt the industry IMO!
It results in games being LOCKED down into Windows and XBOX platforms only because developers don't know how-to do anything else.
