Unity and UE developers getting strongly incentivized to improve their Linux support is fantastic. That alone is good enough news for me.

i never installed proton as a tool and now i can select 3.16-8, but DXVK wasnt 1.0
after i installed proton as a toll its DXVK 1.0
why have they changed this?

What's the easiest way to check the version of the bundled DXVK?

I've tried using dgvoodoo in conjuction with DXVK and the results were actually somewhat impressive in certain cases. For example I was able to run Nocturne in my native resolution with forced antialising and anisotropic filtering, that was pretty neat. But are there any actual cases of games that it makes playable that weren't playable before?

Quoting: mylkaand again............ VULKAN graphics cards are powerful enough to translate every dx9 only game to OPENGL with 100+ FPS.

Even low end integrated GPUs support Vulkan now. Vulkan support in GPUs has nothing to do with expected performance.

i dont think someone buys an IGP and wants to play AAA 3D games, because thats also pretty hard on windows
i know a ryzen 3 can play GTA5 on windows with 720p and low settings, but if you really want to play, you need a dedicated graphics card. i was expecting, that we are on the same page here. i said "card"... a card isnt an IGP, which you normally dont use for gaming

but maybe someone has a ryzen 3 and can test dishonored on it with proton

Vega 8 / Vega 11 suffer same problem and this problem is system shared memory is too slow compared for example ddr5 64bit 6000mhz

Amd needs put for example hbm, this can fix problem of actual igps but hbm is not cheap

^_^

it isnt really a problem, because these CPUs are not meant for gaming, except you are into stardew valley, nidhogg and point and click adventures

Well, you know what they say.
Any GPU is meant for gaming if you're brave enough.

Quoting: hardpenguinMeanwhile I am here with a couple of niche games using D3D8 that are currently crashing in Wine :S:

What are your games?

I'm still waiting for an obscure DX10 game Corpse of Discovery to render correctly which it still doesn't in Wine or DXK in spite of the recent successes.

Quoting: scaineI suspect this is a (or another) reason that Steam devices didn't really take off. Playstation and Xbox both allow Netflix, Spotify and others on their consoles. Why would you buy a SteamPC that doesn't support any of that. Pretty ridiculous.

Quoting: dubigrasuGood thing I guess.
I feared at one point that Valve deliberately ignored having Netflix/Amazon/etc apps available on their SteamOS/Steam Machines because they tried to push their own movie store.

Can't people just use the web clients on SteamOS?

Last time I checked, Netflix through web browsers was limited to 720p. There are workarounds, but for the masses, it's a no-go. You need an officially supported Netflix client (or Microsoft Edge) to get the 1080p+ resolution.

Can you link the workarounds, for posterity?

Wow, this is quite something. I'm not sure I'll still want to play any of these games in like 5 years but still, it's comforting and good for game preservation. It'd be interesting to give them a spin on a more sound technical foundation at the very least. It'd benefit things like Enderal too.

And maybe that's how Bethesda will finally get a decent game engine to use. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I thought buying videos on Steam was convenient, but eh, I'll live with it I guess. Certainly don't mind the focus being maintained on games. If this actually takes away significant resources from that focus or even just makes too little money, a perfectly understandable decision.

A co-op submarine adventure taking place on another planet(oid)? Now that's what I call a pitch!
