Heroic Games Launcher for Epic Games on Linux gets some more fixes

Epic should just use this as the official one for Linux. Pour some money into it; integrate whatever is missing.

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution comes to Gamescope for the Steam Deck
1 Feb 2022 at 7:50 pm UTC

I've noticed a performance issue with FSR when its disabled but enabled in the environment and the game is at native display resolution. For example 4k will loose 6-7fps even when FSR is disabled, but if your remove it from environment, you get back the 6-7fps...

Its a issue many don't know exists it seems; I would report it but there is no one place for FSR related issues like this so it will likely remain a thing.

Wine manager Bottles has a big new release with major overhauls

Tried to use this but it seems way too buggy. Couldn't get vcruntimes installed even tho it went through the processes (games still couldn't see it), the command-line terminal and debug modes don't work (they just insta close).

Nice idea; too buggy for my liking, back to lutris!

SDL 2.0.22 will default to Wayland on Linux
28 Jan 2022 at 5:18 am UTC Likes: 2

Defaulting to X11 until they get full display control and management integrated in Wayland... it still not possible to execute display adjustments or ICC controls correctly like how xgamma or xrandr allowed (often made available in WM settings or GUI tools).

Wayland still has loads of little problems that all add up.. X11 does too but actually has solutions to them for the most case!

Be nice if they can get the RayTracing+DXR support up to snuff so people have more options then just buy a NVIDIA card if you want functional RT...

The 2012 strategy game Oil Rush from Unigine is now free

Its good that Unigine are still trying to make good games; its really needed to show off what their engine is capable of and also keep some competition going otherwise UE will simply take over (almost has).

Godot Engine 4.0 Alpha 1 is out with Vulkan support, rendering overhaul
25 Jan 2022 at 2:02 am UTC

Be interesting to see how well ray tracing appears in this. Atm UE5 has the spotlight thanks to Lumen and Nanite features, but their not perfect, not yet. Certainly enough time for rest of industry to catch up or come up with better/alternative solutions.
