"good port", yes it seems we only get a handful of those which is something the anti-wine community forgets, there are plenty of Linux native games on my list that work better with their windows version via dxvk then native...

Hmmmmpphhh, Mine has the NPC voices bug (where there are no voices for the NPC's). There are some possible workarounds, but I'm really just hoping they get Proton fixed so it just works..
Install XACT into the SKSE prefix, also make sure your open files size is large enough.

Mac users are being left out in the cold because MoltenVK development has been slow lately, its missing some critical functions still!

MoltenVK is not owned or developed by Steam/Valve in case people jump to that assumption (some do).

^_^
Mono is like .NET 2.1, we need .NET compatibility 4.7 or something for applications to stop being annoying to get working.

They definitely gone for that arma dayz interaction and appearance look.

From the gameplay I've seen so far its like a more polished version of DayZ. In fact the graphics engine is VERY similar but probably not the same, they've done a good job at replicating that dayz look and inventory/loot system.

Looks like AMD just open sourced their V-EZ Vulkan wrapper

You could help the VK9 project get their DX9 to Vulkan done. Really only 1 guy working on it and he is past the half way stage.

GOG have gone on the offensive with their new 'FCK DRM' initiative

Some game devs have disabled multiplayer on their GOG release of games, for example No Man's Sky GOG has no MP component.... kinda nasty and should be slapped on the box cover in huge RED text!

A simple prompt to check if you have GOG galaxy already installed (thus ignore) and if not then offer the customer a option to install it, as OPTIONAL. It shouldn't be auto installing it or forcing no other option (such as just install the bloody game option).

In saying that I do want a native version of GOG Galaxy so I can keep some of my games up to date (getting sick of constantly re-downloading them due to major patch changes).
