For a moment I thought the release date was set for 2054. Which, to be fair, would have given me a reasonable time to finish my point & click backlog. :grin:

Quoting: yahyaI use Radeon RX 6800 with Kernel 5.10.6 + Mesa 20.3.3, but the game won't launch. And I see this log:
FATAL: No ray tracing capable GPU found.

RADV doesn't have an implementation for VK_KHR_ray_tracing yet. I'm not sure if the Windows driver for that GPU has it or if that is only DXR.

Quoting: dorronHalf-life 3 incoming...nope, just joking :whistle:

It will not be half-life 3. Probably half-life 2.9999...

More likely: Half Life 2 episode 2 part 2 :tongue:

Quoting: bubexelIt reminds me people saying same at half life 2 because it had no software rendering and no everybody can afford a video accelerated card. When you play for first time 3D games with a good accelerated videogame you don't want anymore software accelerated games. Same feeling i have with VR. I have a problem with flat games atm to be honest.

Not the same thing. Hardware accelerated rendering was a better replacement for software rendering. However, VR gaming is not a replacement traditional gaming. It is an entirely different beast that needs a different approach to games. I would love to have more high quality VR games, but I don't want to give up the regular ones.

Quoting: EhvisAs far as I know CEG works already. It just relies on the Windows version of Steam, which is a bit of an issue for proton.

Yes, or a cracked one like FEAR 3

Well yeah, but I mean that there is nothing left to add to Wine to help it.

Core modules in PE format - this is to help "a number of copy protection schemes that check that the DLL files on disk match the in-memory contents".

Does someone knows if this can help games using CEG DRM to work?

Quoting: scaineThis reminded me that I was going to buy Beautiful Desolation! Nice - downloading now. I bought CAYNE as well, since it was pretty cheap, but STASIS had no Linux support, so I skipped that one.

CAYNE was pretty cheap indeed. It costs all of nothing. The Brotherhood thanks you for you support :tongue: Stasis is pretty much the same thing (which I personally like). The Linux version had a few issues (only one major when I played it). At least the major one got fixed, but I suppose they didn't feel comfortable announcing it properly. For their other games they switched from Visionaire to Unity.

Since I do a good point and click every once in a while, I'll be getting it as soon as it comes to Linux.

Quoting: GuestNow i am nitpicking: the visual style looks more like these old 16 bit games even if i understand what they are talking about with their 8 bit style. The music sounds 8 bit though. But a C64 music would have sounded better. :wink:

Agreed. It does actually retro for once even if it is more of a 16-bit era style.

I don't think this support is primarily about supporting open source. Most of those companies (Facebook being the odd one) have 3d engines or create 3d content in some way. Having a stable and easily accessible system for 3d modelling would be very beneficial for both creation and developing future talent. A lot of own interest there I think and that's probably a good thing as well.

Quoting: BeamboomVK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type still missing though :(

That should appear in the Vulkan Beta driver first, not immediately in the main driver.
