Quoting: rustybroomhandleWondering what the specific missing features are in the Nvidia driver preventing this from working.

Amusingly, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with vkd3d works on Nvidia but not AMD.

This extension is needed.

VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type

Currently only implemented on RADV.

Any 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: 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.

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...

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.

Is that fixed? I still lack 32 bit libs.

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?

Yes, 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>.

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.

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.

Quoting: GuestAre they going to give us decent VR support? Because i want to buy the new 3000 series at the end of the year but not having async reprojection is terrible and induces motion sickness.
