Quoting: inferneluLast Epoch to support the developers for making a linux native version, i am gonna wait a little bit until i start playing, to give them some time to fix more bugsThe native version runs really poorly here, so they might need a lot more time. Runs ok under Proton, except for some areas with bad frame rate.
Metro Exodus from 4A and Deep Silver has officially released for Linux

I don't see the dxvk lib in there any more, so maybe they did some copypasta instead. :) Totally legit dev strategy.

Quoting: EhvisThe ray tracing does work. (although eh, you're not really missing much without it)Quoting: GuestOut of curiosity, do you know if is it still using some libdxvk.so in the linux build like it does on stadia?If the ray tracing actually works on Linux (haven't seen any tests on that yet), then they must have worked from the DX12 path and dxvk wouldn't have been helpful. It actually makes me wonder if they implemented a whole Vulkan backend for their engine. Which would also explain why porting it took a while.

Quoting: InhaleOblivionHmm so if we already bought the game, but wait until Friday to download it/play it for official Linux support. Does that count as a Linux sale?I believe you have to play within 2 weeks of purchase.

Quoting: tomaszgSad he had to apologize. It's only encouraging more attacks of this kind on other people.I think he needs to apologize more, perhaps a bit of groveling thrown in. And sheesh, the wording. "Women" Stallman, seriously? Stallman's rap sheet is long, ranging far beyond just comments about a pedophile.

Quoting: SpykerI'm always amazed to see how many game devs are still ignoring SDL2 and are re-inventing the wheel when they have to deal with Linux... No wonder why they struggle to support our platform.With so many platforms to support, it boggles the mind why these big professional studios still don't build using cross platform solutions. You even get libraries that can abstract out store specific gumpf like achievements.
