I've just played a few chapters, runs perfectly (with nv launch option) and it seems to be a real cool game!

Quoting: LeopardPS: Arch Linux worked around that issue on their glibc. But not all distros will do it, Fedora most certainly won't do it.

Even Fedora took the sensible decision to not break things for fc37 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2129358
(As far as I’m aware, fc36 is not affected)

This is one of the very few titles where I looked a bit jealous to PS owners. In fact I’ve played the first three on a PS3 (when Linux was still an advertised feature on the PS3). Really cool that I can continue soon on Linux!

Only a gaming console can have a name like this :).
(In fact, it actually does sound somewhat like “Neo Geo”)

QuoteImplemented new 3D support based on DirectX 11

Sounds like they implemented something new, but were shortsighted enough to do it in d3d. Otherwise, if they are just translating app d3d with dxvk now, wouldn't they say something like "optimized d3d support" or something similar?

I’m quite certain this is really just about app d3d support, thus using dxvk to translate d3d from the guest driver to vulkan on the host. No idea what exactly happens where.

Same here, I avoided all the hype and talks before version 1.5 and started playing (on Linux) after 1.5 arrived , indeed also one of the best games I have ever played. It is certainly not perfect (crafting is kind of useless since you’ll always find something better shortly afterwards) but they got the things right that matter to me (story, character depth, presentation, music).

I do understand though that people that wanted to play on a last generation console on release day got bitterly disappointed.

Quoting: EikeI'm also happy with my Nvidia and probably would buy one again.

Quoting: ShabbyXInternally (to the Vulkan workgroup), I can also attest that Nvidia is always on top of things, more so than any other vendor I'd say.

You've got internal insights there?

Yes, I'm (a small) part of the WG. Those extensions Liam reports as "Collabora did for Zink", usually it's me who did them for ANGLE, lol.

That reminds me, I should finally fix my handle in the spec, at some point I realized it's meant to be my github handle, but never got around to it.

Very cool! Thanks for your work in that area!

QuoteFor the best experience with support for VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library and related extensions, the latest Vulkan developer driver, currently version 515.49.06, is recommended.

VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library is included with this release, and it has huge effects on shader compilation stutters. In a good way.

The NVIDIA vulkan development driver includes that extension, yes. Please not though that this DXVK release (1.10.2) does not uses that extension. Support for that is in DXVK master and will be released with an upcoming version.

Quoting: JarmerI just love the neverending support and community this game/franchise has! I think if you would have told me in 1990 (or whenever it released) as I was loading the floppy disks onto my 386 that 30+ years later there would be still be a vibrant and interesting community releasing fun content, I would have said you were crazy. Now look where we are! Love it!

Yeah, I also remember putting this on a computer while being a temp during high school. Just the thought at that time that it would run someday perfectly on washing machines or watches would have been utterly ridiculous :)
