Liam: That's indeed very good communication from them. Impressive! May be you can try contacting GOG too, to find out, why lately their Linux support is plagued with so many problems? But they might not want to answer something like "we cut support to below bare minimum".

There is also the question of requiring Internet connection to play it (may be to check real time value?). If it at least works with regular ntp - it's fine. But if it relies on some specific server - it's a problem potentially.

Quoting: razing32Scared to ask if that GIF is on loop or if it's just tens of hours long.

They should have stitched it a bit better, to make looping more smooth :) And from the description, looks like you'll actually need to walk for a long time in the darkness, to reach some hard to find places in the cave:

Ignore the king's commands and advance to the outer regions [of] the cave. It will be a long and dangerous journey into darkness...

Metro Exodus is now live on Steam and Deep Silver say it's coming to Linux

That took them a while, but good to see more games coming out DRM-free.

I'm not really familiar with recent Bethesda games. Are they using Vulkan?

Similar, but not similar enough to make it easy. Those differences can make it very hard actually.

Quoting: TheRiddickCan the Linux NVIDIA Drivers do ray tracing or enable RTX in this game?

Once AMD will add ray tracing support in RDNA2, there should be some portable ray tracing Vulkan extensions that developers can use. Current one looks Nvidia only.
