Quoting: Ehvis

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.

The ray tracing does work. (although eh, you're not really missing much without it)

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

Quoting: t3gNative Vulkan port?

Yes, Vulkan plus ray tracing support. (only nvidia for now)

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: dorronGreat! Took them a long time to release a new one...

15 Feb - that's just a month-and-a-half. And I thought I was impatient. :)

This a decent chillout game. If you are looking for something similar but more in depth, also check out Creatura link [External Link]

Hmmm, with or without ray tracing support?

Call to close comments. So far it has been 90% douche-posting.

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.

Quoting: SirBubbles

Quoting: rustybroomhandleRemember, for now you have to actually set VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr for it to work.

I would love to know how exactly one grabs this version of Proton. Otherwise, how long does one think the wait might be?

You don't need a whole new Proton, just an updated vkd3d-proton, which you can get from https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton [External Link] and following the instructions on how to compile it.

I have also found that the install script does not seem to work right, so I have just been copying the dx12.dll to the place where the game exe lives.

If you want to wait. I don't think it'll be too long before this makes its way into Proton Experimental even though the implementation is very bare bones. So far I have only gotten it to work with Control.
