GE uses the staging patches for wine and some game specific patches depending on how it is built.
Proton normal uses whatever codeweavers puts in it.

Might give it a go, have some of humble bundles original linux ports from years ago that barely even ran on anything when they first dropped.

8 Feb 2020 at 9:30 am UTC

It's probably safe to assume, the games they say work are using what valve is pushing aka fsync and or amd aco mesa drivers.

Google reveal Stadia will only have 12 games available at launch, more later in the year

It's not native but the lutris install for the epic launcher with the patched 64 bit .net runs borderlands 3 fine. not willing to spend money on rdr2 to find out if it works though.

It's a hard pass for me. Hope it runs well for everyone who uses it though.

Ahh Logitec acquiring Streamlabs which has their own flavor of OBS probably has something to do with it.

Steam Play Proton 4.11 released, a pretty huge release pulling in D9VK and a replacement for esync

For arch derivitives.

There is an aur you can try for fsync.
trizen example.

trizen linux-fsync

then you need to update your grub

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

then remember to pick the kernel when you reboot your linux.

Canonical have released a statement on Ubuntu and 32bit support, will keep select packages
26 Jun 2019 at 10:19 pm UTC

Hopefully this just motivates steam to work more on their own OS. Haven't ever really used Ubuntu so wont notice anything if it loses support. Dunno what the big issue is though, it wont really be frozen till 2023 which is when Ubuntu 18.04 is no longer supported.

Epic Games have confirmed a Linux version of their store is not on the roadmap
4 Jan 2019 at 11:51 am UTC Likes: 1

Unfortunately, Epic would actually have to put some of their own resources into UnrealED and make it more usable for Linux before they would open up to Linux, the only reason Unreal ed even works on Linux is because the open source community pretty much hacked code into it when it was made available on git hub.

When I last looked at it, wasn't the easiest thing to get going or use on Linux. Being that the only os currently supported to cross-compile builds is windows would make testing Linux builds all the more harder.

I'd say they will avoid Linux support for as long as they can.

Only scrolled down to reply, too many words didn't read it -_-.
There is a high possibility valve is the same.
Just saying.
