Quoting: mylkathis effort, because of a stupid DRM
it is so sad, that they dont release a linux version, since they have stadia

i mean they make so much money with GTA and RDR, it cant be that expensive to port the game from stadia to desktop

lets hope this DRM does not destroy the performance we should get because rdr2 has VULKAN
No, I believe the main complication had to do with a weird combination of Vulkan and Dx12 that the game uses at the same time.

Quoting: pytrys
Quoting: Xaero_VincentThere appears to be a nasty new issue (probably introduced by a change in the EA Origin client) that breaks any game on Steam that uses the EA Origin client via Proton or Wine.

I hope this gets fixed soon so I can play Mirrors Edge: Catalyst that I just bought.

So it might be the case I can no longer play Jedi Fallen Order ...
There are a few issues open around this and they are getting quite a bit of attention, so I'm sure this will get resolved very soon.

Good thing there might be a native version on the way. I hope they manage to make RTX work with it like the Windies version. Not sure if the Stadia build had that.

Nice. I'm rocking a Lenovo Legion Y540 myself. No problems with it so far.

Quoting: DMGYeah, game completely broken for me since some last patches. Thanks Feral, thanks. With such support, there is no other option, then play games with proton...
File a bug report? Much more useful than crying here.
Path of Exile adds a Vulkan Beta, another step closer to Linux support

Grinding Gear Games is chummy with Digital Extremes, who make Warframe. Maybe they will compare notes and that too can get Vulkan-fied. :P
Stadia gets Elder Scrolls Online on June 16, 1440p in web and more

Quoting: Liam DaweWhere did you get that number? Sounds like you're making it up, I know for a fact there's more than 12K people on Stadia. Destiny 2 alone saw over 30K players online at once back in April in it. Not blindly sticking up for it at all, just a note that spreading false info helps no one.
I did a Google search and 11.5k the number that came up. Hmmm, looking again that's a figure from December. Destiny 2 briefly peaked at 36K during a free trial, I see. Well, now with some revised numbers, my point still stands. Publishers are okay supporting this very niche thing, but not our niche thing.

What's amusing here is that there are in the vicinity of about 800000 to 900000 Linux Gamers on Steam, and only about 12000 Stadia users, yet studios/publishers are more willing to throw money at those 12000 than to the hundreds of thousands of the rest of us.
