Quoting: LinuxwarperHave you watched the HotHardware interview [External Link] with Scott Herkelman and Frank Azor?

Sounds good. That's the right way to do it. Good to see AMD are behind this idea. Nvidia will just keep making NIHs instead.

There is some sane limit you want to chase after. I.e. if they reverse engineer Windows itself - it's one target. If they also have to chase after proprietary APIs of GPU makers - that's a lot more moving targets to chase.

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.
