ToBeHonest the directx-to-vulkan projects (there are 3 of them) are looking quite promising for the future of windows games under Linux. I mean a native port would be nice but I don't think any of these devs would do that even if they released it officially for Linux (they would just redirect rendering calls just like how wine projects are).

As for what game Feral should port next..... well give us a list of the developers who have said maybe! it seems to me that only VERY FEW developers are even open to the idea of their games on Linux which leaves a very limited unknown selection for us to choose from. I've always said we need CLASSIC and POPULAR AAA titles on Linux, either all.

If GTA5 got a linux release, it would be earth shattering indeed, but as we have found out over the years, some developers are very hostile towards linux, even when someone else is doing most the work for them...

Looks pretty fancy, I wonder if terrain is deformative based, and if you can knock over pushes and trees (assuming your going fast enough). Either way it looks pretty damn good, I will definitely look at getting it once released.

The first gif must be the game in some sort of advanced mode with extra hud data showing up on tires and terrain.

Game ran decent last time I tried it (at 4k) and their using Unity3D so there shouldn't be too many barriers to get it on Linux really.

Is this game like RimWorld?

Quoting: tuubiAnd I see no reason to suspect that they're going out of business.

Then you must be very new to Crytek and their history of not paying their staff and having many leave, along with their terrible attempts at lawsuits. A successful company does not these things... I hope they pull their finger out and find a way to survive, but the CEO's seem to be 12 year olds.

Quoting: facePlantedWhat about Amazon Lumberyard (and Star Citizen) ?

SHHHHHHhhh. If they pretend it doesn't exist, then they can assume they have the best engine version out the door, and Chris Roberts owes them shitloads...

But yeah, DITCH OPENGL, MOVE TO VULKAN, OR GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN CRYTEK! I somehow doubt this company will be around next year.

Got a 1080ti mini turning up so I'm good for this year. And it will be interesting what happens with Vega at 7nm. Going to assume it just means a really nice TDP drop which is what they really need for the Vega cards, perhaps the TOP watercooled vega card will be able to bump up to 1080ti speeds without the high TDP.

THAT could change the playing field quite a bit but its also possible AMD will just focus on AI learning and ignore consumer option upgrades.

I can imagine it being great for NVIDIA users but RADV users have some issues with Vulkan performance under Linux, so until that happens the inbuilt Wine D3D9 methods are likely to be better for AMD users for a while.

I think this project is quite good for the future of old game support, I can imagine sometime in the future everyone running their d3d9 games through wine and linux for that backward compatibility. Sure they still work under Windows, but for how long I wonder.... I envision a future where MS drop DX9 and DX11 support in their OS eventually.


PS. This guys website does not work with Chromium spins such as Vivaldi, not sure if it works with Chromium/Chrome.

Nevermind, turns out Ublock thinks his articles are ads. LOL

China is about to ban PUBG via VPN etc... so those huge numbers will take a significant dive when that happens, also people might see a decrease in hackers ;)

There is a linux compatible battleeye service used with ARMA3 now. Perhaps some file swapping will work, but likely version mismatch.
