Was looking for the VR stamp, odd that it isn't a VR supporting game.

such a shame that nothing ever got developed for OGL. Guess we have to wait for all games to become Vulkan based (or wrapped to)

Gaijin support for Linux with projects like WarThunder is a bit shaky, they have a vulkan render path which people CAN use but its unstable and needs work, but gaijin devs haven't put really any effort into getting vulkan running much better (has got worse actually).

Their OpenGL support was regressed a couple years ago to only function up to OGL3.3 features, this means the game looks&runs pretty ugly under Linux compared to Windows. We (Linux players) want them to move back to OGL4.6 or preferably Vulkan but it seems the developers are not really interested in listening. (the mods can only pass on messages to deaf ears :( )

Anyway this looks interesting, I wonder how the plane and tank combat works, hopefully you can control vehicles directly at the least. Gaijin was considering player infantry in WarThunder at one stage but obviously it would require far to much work so making a new game that does that seems sensible.

Linux users can also hold out hope for EAC support under Wine/Proton/Steamplay sometime in the future, some MINOR progress has been made already towards that front!

Another new NVIDIA Vulkan Beta driver expands Ray Tracing support on Linux

DeepLearningSuperSampling, however its more like Super Upscale-Sampling really since it allows for 1440p imagines to look as good or better then 2160p images, and gives a good %50-100 more frames.

For example Control at 4k with RTX on high gives around 39fps but with DLSS2.0 enabled it gives 78fps and actually looks better then native 4k.

PS. You can use any resolution and upscale it to 4k, even 1080p. However it make not look as good as native 4k.

Is RTX and DLSS2.0 coming to Linux sometime? that will be a BIG deciding factor come next gen GPU's. Hopeful AMD will offer a DLSS type solution also but we will see. DLSS2.0 is SIGNIFICANTLY better then 1.0.

Game manager 'Lutris' has a new release with initial Humble Bundle and VKD3D support

hope VKD3D can get RTX DXR support down the line. Maybe even DLSS2.0 also?

The massive and expensive collection of DLC will probably forever stop me from buying this, and it be nice if they released on GOG.

The bundle edition is $151a for me, can't really justify that. And you never know which DLC you'll like until you buy them..

Dinosaur survival MMO 'Path of Titans' looks seriously fun in the new pre-release video

Is this the game where you could end up being banned if you kill a moderator or developer? (you'll know you did after you get kicked or banned) not sure if this was the same game?
