The NVIDIA driver requirement I think only applies to DX12 games and it's because vkd3d-proton now requires the VK_KHR_maintenance4 extension which was added in the 510.47.03 driver.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI meant being able to upgrade from RHEL 7 to 8, like you can go from Fedora 30, to 36..

Fair point. There is limited support to upgrade 7 to 8. I know there are some packages/products, IPA server for one, that cannot be upgraded this way. IIRC RHEL 7 was based on Fedora 19 and RHEL 8 on F28. That's quite a leap in a single upgrade.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSure would be splendid if Fedora's upgrade actually would carry into RHEL and RHEL based distributions...

I'm sure it would be a nightmare. Depending on what release of RHEL you migrate to most packages would be a downgrade (by version at least, if not functionality).

But if you're game you could try https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/introduction-convert2rhel-now-officially-supported-convert-rhel-systems-rhel [External Link]

I don't know if it would work but since it's just rpms who knows. RHEL 9 was released today and is the most likely to work IMHO.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHuh, is it the native version of Enemy Territory? I still have my physical copy of Quake Wars sitting on my shelf. ET was kind of a game that started a genre and doesn't get the credit it deserves!

Not by default but it's easy to enable in Steam using ProtonUp-Qt and Luxtorpeda as described in the article. It took me just a few minutes.

Sigh, yeah, I guess the diff context didn't include the version and I assumed, and we know what happens when one does that.

There was another build today (Apr 21). The only change in this is marking Elden Ring as playable.

Inspired by the TV show in the LEGO Movie, "Where are my pants?". I wonder.

Wine 7.0 changed the joystick/gamepad input to use USB HID so it may be a bug related to that. Wine 6 used a different mechanism for joystick/gamepad support.

The Assassin Creed Odyssey unsupported driver window drove me nuts. It had to be dismissed prior to loading a game otherwise you were stuck with it for that session IIRC.
