Maybe a penguin on top of the windows icon, or should that be the other way around? lol

j/k, obviously they can't do that due to TM laws.

-Valve just needs to maybe make XACT dlls integrate with games better,
-better esync support by having a work around for open file limit because it seems nobody increases it!,
-a solution to nvapi nvapi64 needs to be implemented still.

All these issues can be worked around but from what I have seen, most common people DON'T read documents or know howto apply these things or even know about them at all. So it should be done automatically by proton for end users, somehow.

The sound cutout issue is a common SkyrimSE and Fallout4 creation engine bug, I and many others have worked on a solution with only seemingly random successes....

Game developers are still finding it easier to get more framerate with DX12 over vulkan. Not sure why but games that offer both next gen renderer options seem to show DX12 doing better... Not completely sure why that happens yet.

"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...

I wonder if these sort of clients could use valves proton in the future if they supported it?

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.

It's UE4! :)
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.
