Does D3dVK support UWP apps? Or just NT apps that use DirectX 12?

I was following a man in the woods when all of this happened...

The sun shines brightly on your face. You feel refreshed after all that you've been doing. Your eyes are slightly moist from tears but you don't let them fall now. The sky is bright blue and the clouds look so peaceful against it.

> Fly high and tare down the sun with my bare hands

You soar high above the earth and tare down the sun with your bare hands. It's a beautiful sight to behold. You can only hope that this will be enough to catch him.

Suddenly, you notice something out of place in the sky. It looks like an airplane!

> Catch the airplane with my psychic powers

You catch the plane with your psychic powers. You fly up high and tare down the sun with your bare hands. It's a great sight to behold.

Suddenly, you realize that there are two planes flying towards each other right above you.

> Return home fearing a third plane shows up when i tare apart another sun

You decide to return home fearing a third plane shows up when i tear apart another sun. You don't want to risk going back to the woods where you were found by the police.

A loud noise fills your ears and you open your eyes.

> Close them back as i realize that in space sound does not travel

You close your eyes and realize that in space sound doesn't travel. You feel very tired and sleepy.

I'm sorry if I made you sad, but it was necessary to tell you about yourself. I wish you luck on your quest.

Some director should make a movie out of this

I'm currently a windows user and app developer and I hate windows so much that I'm re-coding all the tools I have created to support Linux in order to switch.

I was searching for something just like this app so I can also have League of Legends or Starcraft in case I wanted to play, so for me this is great news :D

And for the

Wine Is No Excuse not to port your games/applications to Linux properly.

I think if enough games are supported or Linux via wine, Linux will become a viable platform for gaming, and then ports will surely follow. For now it's a must to get Linux to became a good enough solution.

Quoting: EikeLet me abuse this occasion to ask something...

I started to play some Hitman last weekend, and I still wonder how I would enjoy it. I played the first training mission doing most of the tasks. But hey, it's not hard to place explosives at a place you know your target will be going to - because he went there every single time you already tried the mission! It feels so unrealistic, so unsatisfying.

Then I tried the last exam, and there are these "occasions" (or whatever they are called in the English). When enabling occasion display fully, I feel I'm just icon hunting. Having enabled them minimally, I didn't find the airplane hold to manipulate. Disabling them fully I guess I wouldn't find out the complex ways to kill a target.

So, what are you doing? How are you playing and enjoying Hitman? (The normal game, not the elusive targets.)

I am too trying to play it but for a different point of view:

Hey Liam,

Nice game :p I am The Kyew!

I was waiting for an upload to finish and found myself 30 minutes in this game :p

The best way I found was to take corners and make the trolls follow you, so if you need to make it harder for players make some trolls popup from the corners or move unexpectedly, but the current behavior is better to give the game a certain mechanic.

And make the fire automatic my hand is killing me now :p

And yes the speedy troll kindof breaks the game but its a fun game in an unexpected way!

I've been reading your news for quite some time now, so since I made an account I just wanted to say keep up the good work and I admire your passion for linux and gaming.

Cheers!
