I build the latest yuzu-mainline tag once a month optimised for my cpus (znver3, they're Ryzen 5800x and 5600g).

On the 5600g with the igpu it runs perfectly at 1080p with 1x native resolution with no AA and default AF! I've got it plugged to a 55" Toshiba Regza as a couch rig for my son. It plays switch games perfectly on iGPU!

Been playing BOTW wanting to finish it completely before I go TOTK. That will give the Yuzu devs enough time to iron out the idiosyncratic kinks from TOTK!

For those that know how to build stuff, or want to know how to build stuff optimised for your architecture, I can't recommend it enough!!!! Go down the rabbit hole and give it a shot! Learn something about building an emulator, may take you a day or two and you'll feel like a million bux when you see what you have accomplished!

You'll get more FPS as the emulator would leverage what your CPU instruction set can do rather than accommodating the lowest common denominator which are the old chips running SSSE3 and SSE4.x.
In my case it ensures that AVX2 and FMA3 are used wherever possible which really accelerates asynchronous shader compilation on cpu.

Those with even newer cpus using znver4 can leverage the avx512 instruction set!

You'll get more bang for the buck from your hardware for a lot longer!

In the meantime I'm enjoying the series on TV! Episode 8 out today!

Only gripe with the TV series is that Master Chief is a lot more fleshed out emotional (human) in the TV series than being more stoic and decisive like in the video games. Still the best ever live action real representation of the game ever though!

My favourite TV series atm.

I'm eagerly waiting for this!

Cathay is meant to be the greatest human empire in Total War fantasy! Basically like Human Elves. Will be interesting to see what comes out of this and the dynamics against chaos and other human realms on the other side of the world. Really looking forward to this!

I've got 600hrs between TWI and TWII!

Most of the time was playing Imrik on Mortal Empires! What an awesome campaign!
You're basically stuck on your own on the opposite end of the world from all the High Elves, basically a couple of continents away; surrounded by enemies of orcs, rats, Dark Elves and racist dwarves; and with no one to trade! And your quest should you survive and succeed, is to recruit through battle, 5 of the most powerful legendary dragons in the world!

Gordinar, Champion of the Flame (Sun Dragon)
Shackolot the Calamity (Black Dragon)
Bruwor, Protector of Life (Forest Dragon)
Lamoureux, the Frost Breath (Moon Dragon)
Ymwrath, the Eternal (Star Dragon)

It is one of the hardest campaigns but if you get those Legendary dragons, your "Death Stack" is unstoppable especially once you get Minaithnir - Imrik's own Star- Dragon ride!

I basically after hundreds of hours had to fight my way back home to the HE continent, conquering everything in my wake including Lustria, and eventually destroying Malekith, his minions and whatever Chaos hordes were left!

Still not released for Linux so although we're passed the release date, we still can't play it yet. It isn't a same day release.

I'm a Warhammer lore fan and have clocked over 500 hours playing it all on linux! I've pre-ordered it and have bought every single DLC they've got for both 1 and 2. Looking forward to TW3!!!!!!!

Quoting: F.UltraDon't know if you are the 404-guy on GitHUB but I managed to fix proton-5.0-7 by erasing some very old files in /etc/vulkan/icd.d/

Did you just delete all the json files in there and rerun?

It worked! Deleting those files did the trick! Thanks mate! I'm now on 5.0-7!

Quoting: F.UltraAfter the update MCC just exists with "Fatal Error!" for me :-(

edit: after reverting back to Proton 4.11 it works again. So the most likely thing is that it was Proton 5.0-7 and not this update of MCC that broke it for me.

Yeah same thing for me. I recommend you file a bug here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2907#issuecomment-628183624 [External Link]

More people reporting about this, then more focus will go to it.
