I wonder if this driver will resolve the blackscreen issue the warthunder vulkan test build was having on nvidia cards?

I wish they ask the community for voice over recordings, I feel that would make this game much easier to get into. (I don't mind reading but its immersive breaking)
What have you been playing recently?

Been playing nothing under Linux lately because I can't get my digital audio to work on my USBDAC. (tried everything, just broken alsa/pulse).
So I've been playing stuff under Windows... :sick:

Do cheaters and hackers really flock to Linux? I somehow doubt there would be any spike in such activity! Allot of these cheaters are using specialty designed WINDOWS .net applications and such to exploit games that just will never work under Linux atm.
The LINUX memory hacking apps are about as vanilla as they can get, I just don't see how they can somehow think adding this to Linux will spawn a surge in cheating...
I hope this doesn't lead to some sort of "blame linux users for cheating" trend...

Because Stadia is not going to release Linux versions of any of these games, or the devs/publishers.
Likely google has it in a contract that it must be exclusive to Stadia!
I find it funny people think this is going to help Linux gaming in any way, shape, or form...
In saying that I do hope Stadia gets ALLOT better and increases Value for customers, maybe in 5 years it will be decent... (assuming it isn't killed long before then, which is likely)

I only get annoyed when DRM stops games from working under Linux (EAC AND BE for example), or when the DRM kills performance (denuvo). Generally I prefer my games DRM free, but some have multiplayer components which get gated depending on the store you use so it can be difficult.
As for steam, I can disable DRM from any game if I so wish, or run in offline mode (you can force games to do this with steamapi dll wrappers which is legal here).
Also is it really hard work to keep a game on GOG? really? I mean common you basically just upload the drm-free version whereas steam needs you to integrate their API stuff.... Just doesn't seem plausible, is GOG loosing them money? did they GATE the multiplayer community on GOG? thats a good way to kill sales!

Stadia Pro subscribers get 5 new games on June 1

In fact people have compared Stadia performance to windows and found there seems to be some sort of performance overhead going on, much like what you see for things like WINE or PROTON.. or PORTS (not native).
So just because a couple games may have a native linux binary doesn't mean its not just a translation binary and doesn't mean all the games are native either.
Either way, these games are not on Linux Steam or anything for purchase, their inside the Stadia Eco-system so therefore are not helping Linux even if the backend is running on Linux. Until I see these so called native games running on Linux actually come to the stores for people to buy and not via a cloud, their dead to me.

Quoting: drlambAgain you are misinformed,This proves nothing, claims their LOOKING for native versions, but that doesn't mean they all are.
