Quoting: LinuxwarperHow can they do anything with DLSS? It's proprietary and locked down. Perhaps they may decide for AMD's alternative as that will be open and supposedly crossplatform.

Reverse engineering is one option, which Wine as a project is doing all the time, but in this case I'd consider it a waste of resources.

Quoting: jensLiam Middlebrook is an engineer from Nvidia, he regularly contributes to winevulkan, see e.g. https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-November/thread.html [External Link] and search for “Liam”.

That looks good. Did he ever contribute anything that implements Nvidia's proprietary APIs there?

I don't think Nvidia cares about that. They might fix their drivers in response to some Wine related bugs (that happened in the past), but I don't remember them ever contributing to Wine or related projects, let alone when it's related to their proprietary stuff.

Wine developers (vkd3d-proton more exactly) said they won't bother with DLSS, so I don't expect that to happen.

I tried that patch, it didn't make any difference in my case, probably the game is GPU bottlenecked.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, um . . . I don't follow the gaming world hype. Is this Cyberpunk 2077, like, a good game at all?

It's expected to be good story wise. The current release is likely still rather buggy. I don't really want to invest a lot of time into the story before more bugs are fixed both in the game and in vkd3d-proton/radv.

Quoting: poiuzI don't see your point. All of the mentioned projects are, as far as I can tell, still maintained by 3rd parties and

Then do some research. Gaming studios which outsource Linux ports often drop support for them because they have no one left to support them. Larian, Croteam, etc.

Quoting: scaineI have to say, the reviews for this game are atrocious.

I think when the Witcher 3 came out, it also was getting patches quite frequently. So I'm not surprised. It's recommended to wait until things slow down with patching a bit.

Quoting: poiuzYou realize that you just called Valve a cheap company? They outsource most (or all?) of their Linux work.

Valve outsources things and then finds maintainers for that work. It's different from outsource and forget that's common for gaming studios. My point is, CDPR don't have any Linux expertise in house still apparently.

Quoting: YoRHa-2Bit's so buggy that we need a Vulkan extension that works around these bugs by chance, since it more closely resembles native D3D12 behaviour than our previous implementation without that extension. It's that bad.

I suppose the game code can change with their updates throughout next year, so there might be a lot of catching up because of this.
