Quoting: ziabice- More work on WineD3D Vulkan is the most controversial feature they are baking: good to have but...

Why controversial ? Source ? I think it's a good idea. Maybe on some games their backend will be better than DXVK and on others it will be the opposite (just a hypothesis).

That can happen and it's always good to have multiple implementations, as they can proof each others implementation and possibly help to fix each other. But in the end you want to have one that you choose. Changing the implementation on per-game basis is not viable solution though.

Quoting: ShmerlExclusivity is all about excluding users.

Personally, I would say that exclusivity is about buying users (in case of paid exclusivity). That's why Epics approach and the willing publishers is so ethically questionable (or any other case of paid exlusivity). You pay for exclusivity to get those potential buyers for yourself. But if you developed the game, then who are you to say to anyone how and where they want to sell it. We might discuss and speculate if it's wise decision in a business sense to limit your potential consumer base, but ethically it is up to the developer/publisher how and where to sell it.

Let’s see how it goes with Proton

Apparently it works better

It works better until it doesn't.

Quite a lot of Epic exclusive games work through Lutris.

There is nothing to suggest they will prevent Rocket League from continuing to work via proton

They won't provide support for Proton therefore anything can happened. Forced EAC, broken DX12, there is still plenty Proton can't do or has issues with. I am not saying it will, but just blindly accepting it, because it currently works fine is silly.

Quoting: barab4I hope that Gothic 3 will now work without massive stutters. Does anyone know when will this update be available on Steam? (I don't want to do any manual work, expect right click and select Proton version"

I think it's already part of it (I think there is release candidate version, which is most likely on par with full release), check the changelog of the newest Proton (D9VK updated to 0.40-rc-p).

Quoting: TheRiddickAllot of the mouse capture issues are related to people with more then 1 monitor, which apparently is not many of us. This results in the problem being prevalent apparently since testing is mostly done on single monitor setups.

Yep, all of my mouse issues are when my pointer would leave the right edge of my primary game screen and appear on the left edge of my non-game screen.

For Fallout 4, I can work around the problem slightly by repositioning the virtual layout of my monitors to be above/below each other. It doesn't actually fix the issue, but you're much less likely to look directly up while playing! When you do, you'll still get the freeze as the mouse 'leaves' the game space, but it's much easier to deal with.

Couldn't you just disable one of the monitors before you start the game?

Would mean moving all my windows back over when I'm done... not sure if that's more of a hassle to be honest! I'll do some tests this weekend though and report back.

I am not sure I understand what you mean? Are your app's windows tied to the specific monitor? I would expect they would be on their own separate virtual workspace and just disabling a monitor won't move anything.

Oh... or do you have just one workspace stretched across two monitors?

Quoting: TuxeeNo luck with the Vulkan benchmarks.

It says

$./geekbench5 --compute-list
Geekbench 5.0.0 : https://www.geekbench.com/

CUDA
0 0 GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
OpenCL
0 0 GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Just to be sure:

$ vulkaninfo 
==========
VULKANINFO
==========

Vulkan Instance Version: 1.1.101

Any idea what to do about that?

I ran this command for Vulkan "./geekbench_x86_64 --compute vulkan"

As stated: Doesn't work.

$ ./geekbench_x86_64 --compute vulkan
Error: Compute API 'Vulkan' is not available.
Geekbench 5.0.0 : https://www.geekbench.com/

Usage:

  ./geekbench_x86_64 [ options ]

Options:

  ...
  --compute [API]           run the Compute benchmark
                              API can be one of: CUDA, OpenCL (default)
  ...

I am in the same boat as you and I also have gtx 1060. There is only cuda and opencl available. There are some suspicious line popping up before listing all compute APIs, but I am not infront of my PC at the moment. I am running Fedora 30, uptodate nvidia and slighlty newer Vulkan.

Quoting: scaineThere's a big difference between censorship and basic respect for fellow human beings. This issue is about the latter.

Respect goes both ways. Bullying others, because they have different opinions is also problem. Those negative reviews are because of the censorship. Is that really solution you advocate?

Quoting: slaapliedjeWasn't No Man's Sky one of those that at some point in time was supposed to get a native version?

I don't think so, but it's possible. The game was hyped prior release with bunch of straight up lies, it's the main reason why I haven't bought it.
