Extreme 3D space shooter 'Space Mercs' that's developed on Linux is sounding impressive

I remember there being a requirement to have at least a Windows version on Steam.

I did give the demo a quick try with my joystick, but it didn't quite feel right. Need to do some more testing and then give some feedback. It was impressive that it correctly recognised the buttons and axes of my flight stick.

Quoting: GuestI'm getting this when changing resolution; works well in 1920x1080 or in windowed mode for me.
You may try in windowed fullscreen.
Is that for base proton or with d9vk?

I tried a few versions of D9VK, but none of them looked right. Mostly lighting issues and the ones I mentioned above always remained.

I managed to fix the black dots when using wined3d by turning off FXAA. But found more glitches while playing around. All water is black. Some objects have terrible terrible textures. Stuff like that. Seems that D3D11 is a much better bet than D3D9 these days. Looking at D9VK with hopeful eyes.

I see a settings button next to "Game info" on the right. Does that mean it allows you to configure things to make visible?

I noticed a lot of familiar names in the Marvel's Avenger trailer. This may be one where Feral could be hired for the Stadia work, which would make it an easy target for Linux support as well.

Not entirely sure why people are so happy with Proton on this one. After the rename fix, it ran reasonably well but with some initial stutter. However, zooming weapons gives fairly major graphical glitches. Example:

Tried it with D9VK. Initial stutter seemed a bit less, but a different set of graphical glitches:

Patterns in darker areas/shadows:

These are really annoying as they give sort of a moiré effect when moving.

Then there is the character introduction cut scenes:

Which is broken beyond use.

Can't comment on performance as both options give > 100 fps for me.

Quoting: TheSyldatI doubt we will see the DLC ported to Linux , and same for Borderlands 3 we just heard nothing from either Gearbox or Aspyr about it sooo I guess they won't be makin' it anytime soon ...
There are Linux depots for both the HD patch and the DLC. Nothing has been uploaded to them (yet), but they exist.

They may have added features to support new weirdness. Hard to say with these type of games.

Quoting: g000h- Encourages developers to use Vulkan and Linux-friendly libraries for producing Stadia-enabled titles.
It may also encourage some middleware developers to get proper Linux versions of their stuff.
