You can't get a Linux port deal from huge games like this if you are not Google and throw money to them for porting the game for your platform.

Quoting: BasianiWorMzyGame sold over 1 million copies at Steam alone , do you really think they will care about a Linux port?
However, by buying a game that doesn't support Linux, you are sending the message to the dev that they don't need to support Linux to get your money. Why should that dev support Linux if you're going to give them money either way?Thanks. You said what I wanted to say.
Looks like game developers are thinking "Why we support Linux, when Linux users have WINE/PROTON and they already are buying games from us. Yes, they have some pains to play our games but they don't care it so why we care them, why we support them?!"
Buying unsupported game sends game developers signal that you anyway paying of them. So they don't have reason to support Linux. No one makes games for supporting gamers, it's business.

extension is needed to avoid hangs. Without it ( which currently on RADV has ) game will hang regularly.
So it is not really playable on Nvidia.

Quoting: ikirutoBecauseQuoting: SpirimintSuch good news. But why Valve said then its only working on AMD??I don't know. Minor performance issues like looking in the mirror, but still playable. I have not reached the city yet, I am busy with another.

Quoting: LungDragoNo ETA on that i'm afraid.Quoting: LeopardAny at least a ballpark ETA on when can we expect Nvidia to catch up? I haven't really been interested in playing a day 0 release before so I have no experience or data on this.Quoting: rustybroomhandleWondering what the specific missing features are in the Nvidia driver preventing this from working.This extension is needed.
Amusingly, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with vkd3d works on Nvidia but not AMD.
VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type
Currently only implemented on RADV.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Great news that valve keep investing in linux, I would love to know what the return is for valve corp on linux investment. Do we spend enough for them to retain profit even after monthly wage bill and investments, in graphics compatibility and innovation or do they make a loss on it each qtr banking on the long game.They are probably burning money.

Probably throwing it to Proton would yield to better perf.

Quoting: TheRiddickInteresting, I hope its not using OpenGL...It is Vulkan but you would actually want OpenGL here Vulkan on UE4 sucks.

Quoting: PatolaThanks , that worked.Quoting: LeopardYes, that's it, just change focal to eoan, then of course after that do an apt-update, and then apt install nvidia-driver-450 <...other nvidia-450 packages>.Quoting: PatolaSpeaking of drivers, the 450.57 drivers got to the graphics-drivers PPA for Ubuntu 20.04 [External Link], however they come only in 64 bits packages [External Link], thus Steam does not even start. For 18.04 and 19.10 the 32-bits packages are there. So it seems the 32bitscalypse for Ubuntu has started...Is that fixed? I still lack 32 bit libs.
As a workaround, changing the ppa sources.list file to point to eoan instead of focal then changing the driver version works and steam starts. A packaged 450.07 working on Ubuntu 20.04 jumping through many hoops and stuff.
Update: the packager (Alberto Milone) responded. He said he made a request to whitelist the new nvidia drivers, so that they are allowed to build i386 binaries. So soon the workaround will not be necessary.
Btw what kind of change you are talking about?
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu [External Link] focal main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu [External Link] focal main
Simply changing focal to eoan is sufficient?
If you do not know which are the other packages, this line should work and pull the other dependent packages, i386 and amd64:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-450 libnvidia-gl-450 libnvidia-compute-450 libnvidia-extra-450 nvidia-compute-utils-450 libnvidia-compute-450:i386 libnvidia-decode-450:i386 libnvidia-ifr1-450 libnvidia-fbc1-450 libnvidia-gl-450:i386 libnvidia-ifr1-450:i386 libnvidia-decode-450:i386 libnvidia-compute-450:i386
I am also monitoring the repository. Whenever I detect that the 20.04 source has been fixed, I'll tell here.

They closed their Twitch variant , Mixer. How is that related to cloud gaming?

They still have plans for it.

Quoting: ShmerlCan you even read what you linked?Quoting: iiariMS seems to realize that a cloud based X-Box service is their gaming future. Does DX12 have any role in such a service?Luckily MS decided to abandon their cloud gaming [External Link]. So one more DX lock-in bites the dust.
