Today I started steam over wine (for Doom 2016) since a long time and got promptly a survey. :)

Coincidence I think but can't remember when my last survey was. After all wine is recognized by steam as wine.

I hope in a year all games will run with mesa. Realistic? You would have much more choice with the graphics cards. I think AMD is bringing some interesting cards to the market this year.

liamdawe: "The developers have now removed Denuvo, making this possible"

Does this mean the wine developers or the developers of Doom?

Quoting: MblackwellCheck for a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-steam-controller-perms.rules

For some reason my rules ended up getting copied there and that copy overrides the one in /lib/udev/.

I've found a solution. Under Ubuntu the rules which came with the steam-devices package are just incomplete. This works for me:

It also seems to disable usb support on my steam client. Ubuntu yakkety (16.10). I see messages like this in the steam error log when I plug in a device:

Unable to open local device: 0001:000b:01

No matter if it is a headset or the steam controller. So the steam controller can't work any more. I've installed the package steam-devices. My /lib/udev/rules.d/99-steam-controller-perms.rules:
# Valve USB devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="28de", MODE="0666"
# Steam Controller udev write access
KERNEL=="uinput", SUBSYSTEM=="misc", TAG+="uaccess"
# HTC Vive HID Sensor naming and permissioning

I've a 64 Bit system (i7 6700k).

EDIT: I don't know if this has something to do with this update. At the moment I don't know what the problem is. My Controller runs perfectly on a older steam client on the same system.

Elite: Dangerous. I would give a lot for it. Watch explorer streams on twitch again and again. ED is the best space simulation ever. Unfortunately, a niche product. Will not be ported. :(

No issues so far. Xubuntu 16.10. GTX 970.

Bethesda supports with Vulkan Windows 7 and Windows 8 users. I think this is the main reason why we will see a lot of Vulkan developments in the near future. But unfortunately this does not mean automatically Linux ports.

Quoting: JahimselfThe game is completly playable on GTX970 with these settings:

-Texture Quality = Very High
-Texture Filtering (Anisotropic)= 8
-Shadow Quality = Medium
-Contact Hardening Shadows = Off
-Temporal Anti Aliasing = On
-Motion Blur = Off
-Depth of Field = Off
-Bloom = On
-Lens Flare = Off
-Volumetric Lighting = On
-Surface Scatering = On
-Cloth Physics = On
-Ambient Occlusion = On
-Tessalation = Off
-Parallax Occlusion Mapping = High
-Screenspace Reflections = On
-Sharpen = On
-Chromatic Aberration = Off
-Level of Detail = Very High

Thank you Jahimself! This was exactly what I like to know.

Is there a possibility to limit the game to constant 30 fps? I've played Shadow of Mordor with 30 fps without problems. It was only disturbing for me if a game always jumps between 30 and 60 fps.

The PPA has updated. I plan to buy DEUS: EX the next days. I've a GTX 970. How is the performance, what settings should I choose?

Is it really worth to update to the nvidia-375 driver? Currently I'm useing the 367 driver which is includes into Ubuntu 16.4.1 meanwhile. Runs very stable, but I have some issues with suspend to ram.
