Port of what?
The Linux native port of Metro Exodus uses dxvk.

there is no Linux native port of Metro Exodus tho? And if it would end up using DXVK after all, that's not much of a native port anyway
The Stadia port is Linux native, and the link I posted clearly shows they have a native port on Steam, even though it's not released yet. And DXVK is fine as an easy dx to vk translation. The performance hit is minimal.

Metro Exodus is still planned to release for Linux and macOS

Quoting: elmapul"Aside from these enhanced versions for Gen 9, we recently brought Metro Exodus to more players through Amazon’s ‘Luna’ streaming service; and we’re also working on dedicated Linux* and Mac versions of the game. "

Stadia runs linux, maybe it will be avaliable for stadia but not for desktop? but i doubt it, they would say stadia instead...
wich is strange, why not relase for both?

anyway, this gen 9 thing is an issue, what if we receive the current pc/ps4/xbox one version, while ps5 and xbox series receive an enhanced version?
It is already on Stadia since yonks ago, plus we have been seeing them upload files to their Steam repo.

Quoting: omer666Be assured that as soon as it's released natively on Linux, it's an insta-buy for me.
Same here, and I have good hope it will support RTX! For when I finally can land an rtx 3080 in 2022 :)
Their port uses dxvk so this would be dependent on whether dxvk is getting raytracing support soon.

I just stopped playing Hadean Lands. Rather hard, extremely good. Didn't finish (yet). Hope to revisit.
The game has got a very interesting way to cope with dead ends, resulting in kind of meta puzzling.

Does anybody have other recommendations in the quality and size of Thaumistry or even Hadean Lands?
Hadean Lands is great. It has a way to make you really feel like you did something smart when you figure out a puzzle.

Not parser-based, but have you ever tried any of the Choice of Games titles like Heroes Rise: The Prodigy?

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWait, so Asscreed Valhalla works already with VKD3D-Proton? Been looking around and seeing people not having much success with that.
He may mean that debugging of those games now working, not all those games themselves (yet).
There is a screenshot of it running on the linked blog post.
Ah wait, all the screenshots in that post is vkd3d-proton running on windows 10.

I still want to know what the mission is with all of this. Not technically, but from a business perspective.

I get it, Linux customers are paying customers, but Valve have contracted several companies, individuals, fulltime employees, contact with GPU vendors etc. This seems like way more financial and time investment than what our meagre 1-2% is worth.

Quoting: PhlebiacA bit off topic, but what happened to the native port of Metro Exodus? Still coming? Canceled?
I hope it's still coming. Interesting note on that - the native port uses libdxvk.so
