Quoting: LinasI am really tempted to get Deus Ex Human Revolution. But I lived by "no Tux, no bucks" for so long, it would feel unnatural. :S:

Honestly and I know am going to get slated for it this is just one more nail in the coffin for me the lack of triple a gaming on linux this year aside from Tomb Raider reboot 2 means and i hate to say it i am going back to dual booting after six years on pure linux.

Here’s a look at some good FPS games available on Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: MohandevirMy top 2 is the same than yours with Metro Last Light and Metro 2033 close behind. This said, no Spec Ops: The Line? Great game too, imo. May be short but I really enjoyed the 3rd person combat mechanics.
Specs ops is a cover based shooter making it a third person shooter where you can aim in first person.

DXVK for Direct3D 11 over Vulkan in Wine has a new 0.60 release

3-) Boys , don't say Lutris. I'm trying that piece of shit from time to time and using Wine normally is more convenient. So far , i tried Skyrim Legendary Edition , Skyrim SE and Fallout New Vegas which in the end they failed miserably. Is that an " easy usage of Wine " really?

Really weird as the skrim script not only installed fine for me it always enables controller support on my 360 clone. Of course you submitted the bug report to matthew commodant when you ran into errors didnt you, because moaning software is broken and doing fuck all about it is not going to get it fixed is it.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Damn witcher 3 is almost completely playable now, thats amazing and also a little worrying that devs are seeing this progress and just saying yup we dont even need to port it we can release a wine wrapper or just not bother and the community and the wine & dxvk teams will make it playable for those guys and ms will continue to rake in the licence fees for dx12.
I'd like to remind you that the day porting isn't necessary, is the same day using Windows isn't necessary. It goes both ways.

So how does DXVK currently compare to Wine's own OGL-based DX11 support in terms of features? Is there rough parity or one is ahead?
I would like to remind you depends what the code is written for in the first place many console based games are coded with ps4 first then back ported to the xb1 back in 2005 it was the other way round yes of course they are coded on pc however the console games from 2006- 2011 were all the 360 version just with upscale as the 360 was basically a pc gimped by memory constraints. So it is entirely possible for a windows port to be a problem.

Looking at it the other way... If (and there is a lot of them), as an example, GoG decides to use DXVK + Wine, wraps The Witcher 3 with home made hacks, get good performances out of it and put it's official support stamp on it... Is it that bad? As long as there is an entity in charge of maintaining the build, just like Feral does, personnally, I'm fine with that.
Mmm I would ideally prefer native but if was this or big budget games stop coming to linux i would just have to accept it.
