Info on Google Stadia from today’s Stadia Connect, Baldur’s Gate III announced too

Guessing its a monthly subscription model and run as a service, so you own nothing.

If you actually BUY games then they need to provide a copy that isn't stadia dependant, maybe a steam or gog key comes with that purchase for future use when stadia stops working (and it will) sometime in the future.

Remember the SMACH Z handheld? It's apparently going to be at E3 this year

Quoting: DragunovMore rich people toys...Price is outrageous
yeah that's kinda what I was thinking, I mean you could get a switch for cheaper, aren't Nintendo allowing steam streaming on the switch soon via app?

If you saw my skyrimse fully modded, you're jaw would probably drop, yes 4k 60fps 200+ modded skyrim, it was a long road of xedit's and load order testing but I made it... lol (doing that under Linux would have led to my death!)

The most basic functionality of games work, but when it comes to modding there are plenty of issues.
I've moved back to win10 for temp reason of messing with SKyrimSE mods, sure it can be made to work under Linux but is so painful to do so it's too annoying to bother.

i.e. Mod Organiser 2 is amazing under windows but a nightmare under Linux, you need lots of workarounds and its clunky and doesn't work correctly, then the load times are about 20x worse... need native well coded solutions, a impossible task.

If you liked Baulders Gate/Icewind then you will LOVE pathfinder.

The Linux version has gotten better but it could really benefit moving to Vulkan.

PS. The Linux version still had the wrong audio driver file last time I checked (check steam discussions for link to PoE2 one)

What a grape day, Wine 4.9 is officially out

Many of the anti cheat software uses drivers but I'm not sure if that fits under pnp.

GOG are revamping GOG Galaxy, to help you manage multiple launchers and still no Linux support

Quoting: Mountain ManGoG doesn't support Linux, so I don't support GoG. See how that works?
GOG actually supports Linux and has a packaging system for Linux and also support for it on their website. The only issue in question here is GOG Galaxy which is a nice little app to keep your games up to date and also play specific multiplayer features (ie. no mans sky).

There is overwhelming demand for them to build a Linux version... it is rather odd behaviour for a company to ignore that request (there is a mega thread in the gog forums about it).

I guess they just don't see enough money in the Linux community to deviate the dev team on making it so, understandable but also rather community unfriendly approach.

DXVK 1.2.1 really does improve Overwatch quite a lot on Linux with NVIDIA
22 May 2019 at 6:44 pm UTC

I just copied the 1.2.1 dll's into the appropriate proton4.2-4 folders, seems to work for updating proton manually.

Next I might need to compile my own proton in order to allow 64bit script extenders to work since Valve team have yet to merge in a simple 2 line fix to the wine code for that...

PS. I noticed performance is ALLOT better with Risen 3 now. Not sure if that is a 1.2.1 thing or not.
