A bit of polemic here:

I downloaded art of rally demo, I was very disappointed, it's ugly, empty, bugged with invisible blocks and objects disappearing when I approach (it's the first time that I see a pop-out bug), not believing that they released a demo like this.

But for curiosity, I played it again with Proton, a lot better, the invisible objects are trees, stones and some minor things, I didn't noticed any bug, and the game turned in a really interesting one. I remember that I had problems with the native version of Absolute Drift (from the same dev), it simply not recognize my gamepad, which is fixed on Proton.

Maybe would be better if games is distributed as a "whitelisted proton game" than a native bugged version. It's a lot less effort from the dev as just need to test a bit or ask someone to test it.

CS:GO is by far the best multiplayer fps game, it's always improving the balancing and accessibility.

I love how it looks, I hope that they put some CRT shaders on it (like CRT Royale on Retroarch)

A bit off topic, a funny thing about Unity games is that on Proton it not only runs better, it is more stable and have a LOT better controller support, sometimes it maps incorrectly the button layout or not recognize it at all, on proton is perfect.

When I see that the game is "made with Unity" I immediately force some proton version. lol

I hope that games compiled on Unity 2019 have a better penguin support

I understand the problem with Snap, but I really don't like the way that mint are working. An empty package is a silly idea, they should ask if the user cares about using snap or not and do the job.

It's funny they complaining about the ubuntu's base as LMDE evolves slowly.

Manjaro looks like have a good support to Snap, letting the user choose easily

dont matter because wined3d development is too slow compared with dxvk

dxvk development is more active and resolve bugs in less time

^_^

Jesus... Backends fanboy is a new thing.

It's ALWAYS good more projects improving in the same time, competition is good for everyone, on FOSS this is even more evident.

I hope that WineD3D evolves well

Fantastic news!

I think that anticheat should be AI based on server side, with help from user report.

But IMO is valid new ideas of anticheat, even more intrusive approach if it's optional (only for multiplayer) and if they are transparent in what they are doing, because cheaters destroys the experience from others players.

I hope that more devs look at Linux as a viable platform.

Just a question: how a kernel level anticheat can run on Proton? Isn't this safer than run on Windows itself?

Quoting: ElectricPrismUnreal Engine without Unreal Tournament? Doesn't feel right.

UT on UE4 isn't finished at all, so that's the second engine without a proper UT.

We really need a new arena shooter, fast paced, with bleeding edge graphics (as unreal and quake was in the past) without class bullsh**.

Quoting: Dragunov

Quoting: fagnerlnHow good is this feature with old hybrid AMD notebook? It's an A6 with some HD6000, I don't remember well

The A6 series laptops did not have a discrete graphics card, those were the APU's integrated graphics.

I have an old Dell Inspirion with an A6-6310 APU that I've been using since 2014. Its starting to show its age, but I don't game on it.

I sold my old notebook to a cousin, but I'm just curious because I'm waiting a good support to recommend Ubuntu to him.

I'm pretty sure that it have discrete GPU, on windows is possible to set to use the iGPU, dGPU or hybrid crossfire, which when the game support CrossFire works really well, improving a lot the performance
