Quoting: Mountain ManI was excited until I realized that F1 2015 doesn't support Linux.

It is. Check Steam page first.

Quoting: LeopardIt will never be official and because of that it will never release on GOG.

Didn't they say they fixed all the bugs already? So why can't they make it official?

They must support it officially and from what i've seen they decided to not do it due to AMD related issues.

Trying for provide a support is hard , but taking money with an unsupported product is easy.

They will blame UE4 and finish. That's it.

Quoting: ShmerlSounds good.

While we are on the topic of delayed releases, what's going on with Everspace? They were supposed to be "almost ready" several months ago, but GOG still doesn't sell Linux version.

It will never be official and because of that it will never release on GOG.

Quoting: legluondunetbut this bug still occurs:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5030 [External Link]
Steam regularly looses credentials and settings, very annoying.

For the last few weeks , this issue did not occur for me. I hope it keeps it that way.

Talking about piracy in general should be fine on GOL, but recommending specific releases seems a bit much?

I'm just trying to help him with exact instructions. Sure , i can delete it.

Quoting: GuestAnyone know how to get DOOM to work with Vulkan?

Everytime I switch to Vulkan for DOOM the game just won't open, I'm using the latest 3.4 with vulkan support

Wine Staging 2.21

I can play Doom 2016.

Just do this.

sudo apt-get install libvulkan1
sudo apt-get install libvulkan1:i386
sudo apt-get install vulkan-utils

Quoting: LeopardIs depending Wine for gaming more and more , can be considered as Gaming on Linux? I don't think so , that is kinda similar to saying " Hey , i'm running Windows with gpu passthrough on my Linux box for gaming , so i'm gaming on Linux".

Yeah mate , yeah you are.

Yes? WINE is a tool to bring Windows software to Linux, such tools improving are a good thing, and it's not the only one. Consider how many major game engines have acknowledged Linux as a platform, making it easier to port. WINE could be used in the same capacity, another means to the same end: doing what I want on my platform of choice, which also happens to be the platform of choice ;B

Again, WINE hasn't reached the point yet where devs would trust putting out a version of their game through it, but if we get there I think that's rad. You could open Steam one day, buy and play a game advertised with Linux support without ever realizing it was a wine-wrapped game; sounds like a fine day to me :)

You are very optimistic because you are so much depending on Wine and use it extensively ( based on your reaction ) , you are just looking for every little thing to prove that is not a burden for native development.

So if we are done with Wine wet dreams , let's jump on to the facts.

Look at the response of developer.

" We heard some people ran it on Wine! "

So if this the gaming scene you want to see , go ahead and act like this is not hurtful in many ways.

Fact is ; they won't wrap games via Wine and put them on market. Because they need provide support for it but they won't because they didn't know anything about it.

Another fact is ; maybe one of these developers would actually put work on a native Linux version and he/she will get familiar with the platform. So they can choose more cross-platform minded tools for their next game. But with Wine wraps ; they won't and also they will still use tools for MS side only.

So from that point ; mouse and cat thing will start again. Dx11 released nearly 10 years ago and still this day Wine has problems with it. So with the act " Wine wrapping officialy " won't work when there are new specs out , let's say Dx13.

It is only beneficial to very old games with no chance to get a native version for both technical and time/money issues. Dx9 era games basically.

TL: DR ; With Wine wrappers like you suggested for official releases , there is no way to convince dev to use for another one because it is basically a Windows imitation with lots of missing implementations and most importantly , years behind than Windows environment provides with DX.
