Quoting: rustybroomhandleWish people would stop thinking that Stadia's tech is some huge mystery we have to speculate about. There is info on the web site and there have been very detailed talks by developers. Maybe a recap article that consolidates all of this stuff might help people get off this weird trip.

Nobody doubt that Stadia is Debian + Vulkan...

The doubts are if the big games are actually ported to Debian + Vulkan when they could be just Windows games running on Debian + Vulkan via Proton alike compatibility layer, being that the cheapest way according to the mentality of those big publishers.

Maybe Google is earning money using DXVK and the author doesn't even know it.

Also no doubt at all there. The talks from Bungie, ID etc talk about the porting process. They are native ports.

Quoting: LinasDo we have any details on how they make these Windows-only DirectX 12 games work on Stadia? I mean, is it actually running on Linux? [Conspiracy theory intensifies]

I think all Stadia games are windows game running on Debian via compatibility layer...
Is the more cheapest process...

No, Stadia runs native Linux ports with a Vulkan based layer that works with their streaming tech.

Not sure if it's the compositor or sddm or what, but for some reason games just feel like they run better on KDE. Have not benchmarked and purely going on feels here.

Aside from some crossover characters and other such fluff, was anything missing in the game? I thought it released in a finished state, with all this other stuff just being extras.

Quoting: ElectroDDI can play again anno1404:venice and anno 2070 ! Years without playing them...
Need to check about X3:Terran conflict...
There still are games i'd like to see running... Mainly chinese and japanese games.
But i'd say 90% of my games are playable and that's fine ! Still have lots of games to finish !

Does X3:TC native not work any more?

If you like super-casual farming games, do check out their other game, Farm Together also. It's quite a cute little faffabout.

If you are a Proton-er, Ghostrunner works extremely well.

Ya know, fixing wine so that it can run games better is hot and all, but what's also sexy is companies fixing their games to work better with wine. Example: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1217060 [External Link]
