Quoting: legluondunetAssassin's Creed 1 Director's Cut finally launches in dx10 mode without any tweak, just launch the game and play!
It should be soon whitelisted.
Can you confirm it works with DXVK?
It just works with Proton 3.16, it launches the directx10 version per default.
You can verify that DXVK is active with add this in the Steam game launch option:
DXVK_HUD=version,devinfo,fps %command%
I'm just asking that can you see DXVK HUD with that launch option.

I'm already playing AC1 via DXVK since D3D10 ( 0.72 i guess ) support added to it. But it needs d3dcompiler_43 which is a prop MS compiler that you can't distribute with Wine. So i wonder if it really works with DXVK or Wine's own OGL implementation.

My AC1 is GOG version so i need that confirmation.

Quoting: GuestWith these changes they could whitelist quite a lot of games soon!
Witcher 3 being first , many Unity games included. Also Quake Champions.

The Steam Play whitelist just had a large update including The Witness and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Quoting: g000hI'm a long term Debian user, and I use it properly... i.e. I install the packages from the regular repositories so that my system doesn't get messed up. I have tried backports and all sorts of things in the past, but generally find that forcing a later graphics driver onto the system ends up borking it.
I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm on Mint, but it's only offering me 340.107 and 390.48 so I'd rather stick to that. Didn't someone say that the newer drivers were only necessary for Vulkan games anyway, or something along those lines?
I'm on Mint too but i'm using 396.54.05. Didn't cause me so much trouble.

New drivers are needed for DXVK's sake in general which also affects SteamPlay.

Just add graphics ppa and you're ready to install driver via gui.

DXVK 0.81 is out with better performance for 32bit builds, minor CPU overhead reduction and more

The level of work going into DXVK is seriously impressive.
If I'm not mistaken, there were about 30 commits for that +0.01 upgrade, from 0.80. Perhaps not roadmap-worthy stuff, but still a boatload of work it seems.
Critical part in that release is #665.

Best part of it:

Minor reduction of CPU overhead (I know it's getting boring, but I swear I'm telling the truth!)

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive updated with improved Linux performance and a new FBI model

Quoting: liamdaweI'm British, I consider myself to the left, I literally don't care about the "FBI" being represented in CS:GO.
Agreed.

That is just a game. I really can't understand people cares about "representing" in the games , unless it is very agressive and obvious one.

Fun fact:

When BF1 launched , it also had Ottoman forces in it. I literally saw people saying " How can i play this game as English forces , i can't shoot at to my elders " online.

Mind blowing experience.

Damn , for a moment i thought LISA was on lowest tier. Looks like i'll have to wait for a Steam sale still.

VK9 for getting Direct3D 9 over Vulkan has hit their 28th milestone

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI wonder WHY this project is not backed by Valve...
I mean, A LOT of the legacy steam games are DX9 and this will improve performance.
1-) Wine has a good enough working D3D9 implementation , while WineD3D11 was barely working and terribly slow.

2-) Once it turns out as a promising thing , maybe they will get in touch. Remember , Valve contacted with DXVK dev after he achieved running Nier Automata.
