Quoting: BeamboomI don't really understand all these title specific "fixes": The games are obviously all using the same graphics APIs, so isn't this essentially a bug on the application side?

I don't think the fix is specifically for the game. The way I see it is that Vulkan drivers are relatively new and so are the Vulkan compatibility tests. Both are still evolving through experience. Nvidia probably recognised quickly that DXVK provided a much bigger test bed than the slowly appearing native games, which is why several Nvidia devs are active in the issues list. Currently these games are probably hitting (valid) corner cases where the driver needs a slight adjustment or maybe even a clarification of the spec.

Fixed a bug that caused applications running directly on a display (such as VR HMDs) to tear when a G-SYNC or G-SYNC Compatible monitor is plugged in the system

Now that's the fix that I wanted to see!

Quoting: Guest... and we frequently see the meme of "1 eur=1 usd" (not for the pound though, for some reason they can convert the dollar to pounds), ...

Kind of a cheaty way to put it. EUR prices include VAT, USD prices do not.

Quoting: EikeEveryone's their own of course, but I'm surprised how many people state no interest at all in Red Dead Redemption 2.

I'd be interested to play it, but it does seem to be one of the less popular titles among tuxers. However, I won't pay significant money for Windows games. Stadia value would be even lower to me and I don't expect "Stadia store" prices to be in line with what I have in mind. I'll stick with my backlog. Which for some reason keeps growing. :D

Still no info on game pricing though. I'm curious to see what they think the value is of a game that is so tied to their service that there is no hope for recovery if Google calls it quits.

I suspect the "quality" is about something more than just performance. Because UE4 running slower on Mac and Linux is not exactly a surprise.

I'll plug the first two on the list because they're short and light games for when you don't need a challenge.

Back to Bed is a nice puzzle concept. I played both the normal and hard mode (where you need to pick up keys in addition to getting the guy back to his bed) all the way through in 3.5 hours. Pretty easy but a nice bit of fun for the current price.

AER is a nice exploration game. Basically just walking/flying around to find the story of the world. Some minor puzzle stuff, but nothing head breaking. I found it a nice chilled experience. Took me just under 6 hours to explore everything.

Quoting: ArdjeI've noticed on my proton adventures that DXVK+DX11 is way better than native vulkan on some of these engines.

Is there any difference in content/rendering between DX11 and DX12 version? Since the port was mentioned to be based on the latter.

It's also not really 78% because that is calculated without taking the DE bundle discount into account. But 60% is still nice of course. And yeah, that's the disadvantage of releasing after a year. Still, Feral has released titles straight into a 50% discount before (DXMD iirc, which fairly quickly after the Win release)

Quoting: BloomberyHow I can get this achievement?

It's a joke.

But now we want it! You know what you have to do. Make a game with the achievement and publish it on Steam. :D

Also congrats to Valve for the actual achievement. After (almost) 7 years I still have no regrets for the number that it shows on my external funds page. They've done well.

Quoting: theghostDid someone played the first one recently and can you recommend it?

Haven't played it much since the Steam Cloud ate my profile, but it's great if you like that sort of game. It does have a few issues with the way its economy is designed (it's all chained together and can prone to occasional collapse), but nothing that prevented me from having fun with it.
