for some reason FSR3 is worse then FSR2.1

There is FSR3.1 but CDPR have not put that in.

I wonder which company will be brave enough to use a SteamOS variant (they can fork their own) or if they will all just install crappy windows11 on em all?!

Quoting: CatKillerround for the two bullets on the level.
There are already a fair few shooter games like that, like this.

Jupiter Hell is one, but yeah its a saturated market so this would need to do something unique other then get gun and shoot stuff forever.

Yeah this constant dependence on Windows kind of shows that they aren't really interested in providing long time support for these devices like Valve has with the SD. Not worth the price tag imo!

Windows is going to continue to get worse and worse for handhelds as they keep introducing more 'services' to the payload, especially Microsofts big shift to everything 'online' AI assistance stuff.

Looks interesting, but I could really do with a BattleTech-2 using a decent engine. (original used unity3d)

Would you not be better off just buying a SteamDeck or one of its slightly updated competitors?

Wine's Direct3D to Vulkan translation library vkd3d 1.13 out now

One of the biggest areas of weakness for VKD3D is Ray/Path Tracing performance it seems, in particular translating with D3D12 which I believe is pretty much the only API other then Vulkan that does RT/PT for games?

Someone was doing some tests on YT recently and noticed the huge performance issue with RT/PT under Linux with translation layer, almost %50 less fps.

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

Quoting: CaldathrasCome to think of it, does MO2 need .NET?
There are other mod managers that have issues such as those for dragon age or mech warrior and several others. Also there are tools like xedit that still have odd behaviour issues under Wine and many other tools. Just loose bits of NET that aren't being handled right.
