Seems to work perfectly, can't wait for them to add more games.

Quoting: LeopardHi , you look like a hardcore Wine user. Can you help me with Skyrim SE?

I'm on 3.11 Staging and running Skyrim SE but i have problems with it.

Shadows and textures are glitchy. There are some advices about disabling nvapi but look like it is not relevant. Only nvapi64 is on there and disabling it is not helping.

Input lag. I have mouse/keyboard lag with that game.

Underwater is not rendering at all.

Some keys do not work , like I for accessing inventory.

How did you end up running correctly without problems?

Nvidia 396.24.2 driver

Isn't Skyrim SE DX11? In which case you should give DXVK a go :)

Quoting: Leopard3-) Boys , don't say Lutris. I'm trying that piece of shit from time to time and using Wine normally is more convenient. So far , i tried Skyrim Legendary Edition , Skyrim SE and Fallout New Vegas which in the end they failed miserably. Is that an " easy usage of Wine " really?

While I haven't tried Skyrim I have tried fallout new vegas, which seemed to work out of the box.
Of course, lutris isn't perfect. But at least I have a place to point people for installers I know works well (Like all the blizzard ones, for example)

Quoting: Leopard5-) Wine is not really a solution. It is open to regressions , tons of hacks to even running one game normally. It only can be considered as a bonus feature for people who have free time in their hands. Normal users ( which majority ) can't stand with it.

You are saying this like wine wrapped games are more open to regression than those which are native. I've seen more native games stop working than wine wrapped ones...

I agree it's not a direct solution though. It's just a really neat tool that helps us play awesome games. Games we couldn't play without it. Would I prefer native ports? Of course! But without wine I wouldn't be a full time Linux user, and I wouldn't have been able to convert the few I've converted. If it can help some use linux full time I do not see how it's bad.

Gave up on getting this to run on Ubuntu 18.04 :(

Quoting: MohandevirNot much. But believe me, my experience with multiple newcomers to Linux showed me that it doesn't take much to make them drop. From the start, the UI needs adaptation and then apps that are replaced by new ones (even if they are more performant)... Then you add a tool that doesn't work the same way as on "the other OS"... You get a: "I quit" pretty fast.

Edit: In fact my most successfull conversion experience was with my 74 years old father... He had no Windows background. Lol!

Don't think many can argue against this, but this goes no matter what. Even Linux people giving a different DE a go can end up with the same reaction. People for the most part don't like change, and that's something that will always be an issue no matter how well wine, and even native games, works.

Quoting: MohandevirThinking about my 10 years old son setting up DXVK and wine to play a game... Not. He's going to switch back to the PS4 in 2 seconds.

While this isn't completely relevant to the ideas that are being discussed:
Honestly, now that lutris installers are starting to adopt it we aren't far away from where a 10 year old can easily install DXVK+wine+a game.

Mesa git + Wine 3.10 + DXVK runs WoW extremely well now. I can almost put everything to max and consider it playable. The exception is anti-aliasing. Some of the modes makes the game a bit too choppy.

Absolutely recommend getting Streets of Rogue. So much fun!

I'll always lean towards giving users choice, but in this case I don't see how giving users the choice would have helped anyone.
Thing is, valve likely wants to make sure that they aren't the reason why IP addresses are being leaked, regardless of how dumb users are. If people want p2p voice chat there are many other alternatives out there that would resolve that, which would give you the choice and take potential blame away from valve.

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: Doc Angelo

Quoting: devnullIndeed. p2p should always be an option though. The issues with voice and trading are signaling, requiring an active connection to steam is silly.

You can't have p2p without giving away your IP to those chatting with you.

That's okay though if you trust the people you chat with. So I guess it could work as an option.

Yes, and then the whole point of protecting the users IP is gone. It's easy to imagine someone turning on p2p, forgetting about it, accepting an invite from someone, accepting or joining a call...
