Quoting: HoriWill it work for older cards like a 610M?
I don't really care that much since Bumblebee works well enough and I'm not really using this old laptop anymore (not for gaming that is), but it would still be nice if it did.

Probably it will since Optimus is same since years. You will need X.org version that supports it and Nvidia driver that contains this support.

Quoting: TeqI just got a laptop with Optimus and was bummed to find out (the hard way) that bumblebee doesn't support Vulkan. Hopefully this solution will.

I just found about this after reading this article :(

Just realized why I could not get DXVK working.
Sad, sad...

Vulkan works via Nvidia Prime but i highly recommend using it on a Ubuntu 16.04 based distro.

I can play Doom 2016 Vulkan via Wine , Gta5 , Witcher 3 via DXVK , Talos Principle , RoTR , Mad Max etc via Steam.

Looks like you didn't even try native Linux Vulkan titles before.

I have this game for a long time , 10+hours gameplay so far but i've decided to wait until release to start over.

Highly recommended , very fluid gameplay

Awesome , currently Nvidia Prime on Ubuntu 18.04 is a disaster

Quoting: GuestWould I have to specify between things like to use DX11 or DX10 ect. per game, or would it automatically do all that for me? I wouldn't know which games use which version of direct x and could imagine it being confusing if I had to specify per-game which version of directx to use

Probably it will do that automatically since game would make a Dx10 call ,not Dx11.

Getting an error about vulkan-1.dll missing? Click me to download!

But why? Even if that was a MoltenVK wrapped game , is it still needed?

Typically the first version since ages officially released in Germany won't come to Linux. I was really looking out for it. :-(

As they obviously already ported their engine, it's hard to believe (at least for me) that it is that much effort to support at least Ubuntu/SteamOS. Maybe they also fear the user comments if not tested properly on a loot of Linux distros.

Reason is probably they also need to hire / pay a Linux specific dev if anything occurs in support terms.

Guys , i think i couldn't express myself enough.

Sure , we can say screw FM , it is the same game every year anyway. And i agree as a FM owner who last bought FM 2016 then said screw it.

But one least game means maybe one less newcomer. When people are hoping on Linux , normally they look at the native games available first.

Yes , i'm also started to spend much much more when i started using full time Linux. But appearently that is not enough despite our efforts.

Things is , we need another push in some way. Otherwise i'm afraid we will see many more series like that fading away. According to last response of Paradox ( covered here as an article ) they're the possible next publisher can do that.

I don't know also why you are so optimistic. We surely know , at a first glance maybe everyone can say " At least we're getting indies no matter what " but even situation on there is not bright. Because indie games we get are mostly from new people with their first game ever , thanks to Unity and Unreal's Linux support they also give us Linux builds. But most of them don't plan Linux for their next title. ( According to back2gaming interview )

In AAA terms , Feral is the last stronghold. And we're also not getting all games of theirs. Some of them are Mac only.

To sum it up ; until a new push about Linux gaming, that trend seems to be continued.
