They can keep it. I'm kinda bored of the Total War games being the only native ports from these companies the past few years.

Quoting: t3gAlright then. I still don't know why you are white knighting for Google.

Quoting: TheRiddickPretty sure he/she works for Google Stadia somehow. I mean look at the icon tag, lol

Not white knighting, nor do I work for Google. It's simply an exciting piece of technology using my favorite piece of technology: Linux. Let's face it, Google made Linux attractive to AAA game developers in a way Valve failed to do after how many years now? The Witcher 3 was coming to SteamOS...and then it wasn't. Cyberpunk 2077 on the other hand is coming to Stadia. My "annoyance" with your comment is more so due to Liam constantly receiving comments such as yours regarding what he should/should not cover on his site. Plenty of people here are interested in Stadia.

The recent advances in Linux/Vulkan tech have paved the way for a "SteamOS v2" type solution from Valve and you can sure as hell bet I'd jump all over that if/when it comes. I want Linux gaming to succeed and will support it in anyway I can. We're on the same side.

Quoting: TheRiddickUnlock what higher resolutions? above 1080P?

"free games?" you mean those games you paid for beforehand, the pro unlocked games you don't get to play for free after the pro subscription is lost afaik.

Stadia is far from failing. And yes, a Pro subscription currently allows you to play at 4K or 1440P. Correct, if you stop paying for Stadia Pro you'd lose access to all claimed Pro games (if you resubscribe all previously claimed games are available). I would not lose access to the games I've outright purchased.

The problem with your argument is one I brought up earlier with Stadia based on Linux and macOS based on BSD. Just because they are taking Linux and adding their proprietary bits, it doesn't mean that they will contribute back upstream. A developer working with a Stadia developer kit in Linux doesn't mean they are also bringing that to Steam/GOG as a Linux release. They are just working within the Google walled garden dev kit.

Then turn them off in the control panel? Bye Felicia.

To be honest, I could do without these Stadia posts. Stadia is a closed platform that takes away all your rights since you are basically paying monthly and full price per game to interact with a video on another server. Once that service is gone or Google gets bored of it, you lose access to $60 games.

I of course game on Steam and try to buy on GOG when I can. I like the DRM free nature and can archive my games if I want. It’s one of the last outlets where I still feel like I’m getting something that will last.

Stadia being “Linux” is just like saying macOS is “BSD” due these companies taking free software and locking it down into their own walled gardens.

DXVK was created due to WineD3D being subpar. As long as Proton includes DXVK, I can stay away from vanilla WINE.

Quoting: MohandevirI would like to see GoG integrate Proton in some form... Maybe offer proton wrapped versions of their Windows games, if at all possible. I'd be a lot more inclined to support them. Having to deal with Lutris or wine is not something that I look forward to...

I play all my Windows based games in GOG via Proton in GameHub. Native too of course.

I don’t play these games, but if you play an Ubi game on Steam it launches Uplay after. Is the Uplay integration workable in Proton?

I'm surprised that Source 2 didn't use Vulkan by default for all platforms. Why go back to DirectX 11? Windows 7 and the majority of video cards released in the past 3-4 years should easily support Vulkan on Windows and Linux.

Quoting: t3gHow’s the performance on the native version? Some people had better performance in the past with the Windows version running Proton + D9VK.

I've had some issues. The big outdoor firefight leading up to the missile launch was a stuttery mess but still playable. The game is smooth for the most part but certainly not as optimized as it should be. I've not tried it in Proton.

Native vs Proton/D9VK:
