Steam Play Proton 5.0-4 is up fixing Origin, GTA V, Denuvo and more
11 March 2020 at 9:04 am UTC Likes: 2

DXVK 1.5.5 is also fixing the new Rocket League DX11 Client for Nvidia drivers. See:

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/commit/4aa6800e95b093f259123107190ca56dae24e3be

The new client became the standard client yesterday and Linux is now no longer supported.

Ambitious Half-Life remake Black Mesa is now officially available and it's a beauty

I wonder if this is really the 20-year-old source engine.

Is that a coincidence? It goes perfectly with the Alyx release.

NVIDIA talk up bringing DirectX Ray Tracing to Vulkan
23 February 2020 at 1:56 pm UTC

How is raytracing actually implemented in the Linux version of Quake2 or is it switched off there? Can anyone comment on this?

I cannot try it, I only have a GTX 970.

There's going to be more customization in Dota Underlords with the full release next week

I can't do anything with Autochess. But as a neutral observer from outside: Teamfight Tacticss looks like a project of students. Like something you did yourself. Underlords looks very professional. It has somehow something unmistakable, a style of its own. I only mean the visual presentation. I can say nothing about the games themselves.

Something revolutionary.. For example, Proton works on Windows. Work in games with anti-cheat systems.
Working with the anti cheat would be great indeed :)
Not even CSGO runs on Proton with VAC.

Direct 3D to Vulkan translation layer DXVK version 1.5.2 is up, lots of fixes for games

By the way: I had an impressive experience with D9VK and Rocket League over the weekend.

Psyonix are ending support for Rocket League on both Linux and macOS (updated)

Just tested it under proton. Works great with VK9.

It remains to be seen how the new version will work. I hope it will be based on DX11 and not on DX12.

At the moment I see no reason to refund the game.

Stadia looks to be very limited at launch and not just the amount of games

Google can only make the service successful with new gamers. People who don't play today. But they mainly rely on classic AAA titles. Of which, however, they also offer only a few. That will be extremely hard against Steam. I think Valve is going to take a look at that now and try to draw his conclusions from Google's mistakes. However, Google has extreme financial resources. They can run such a service for a long time in the red and burn hundreds of millions without it really hurting them.

Steam Play Proton 4.11-8 is out with vkd3d for Direct3D 12 support

Quoting: NivveFor me this update (4.11-8) makes Rocket League (with D9VK) unplayable compared to 4.11-7.

Out of pure curiosity: Why don't you play RL natively? It's only an OpenGL port, but the performance is very okay.
