Looks nice. I hope they'll make a release in DRM-free stores as well.

You can now easily run the Epic Store on Linux with Lutris, Epic suggests applying for a grant

Instead of grants, let Epic support Linux games in their client and store. Not that I plan to use it, since it's not DRM-free.

Wine 4.6 is officially out with the start of a Vulkan backend for WineD3D

At one point The Witcher 3 almost worked using wined3d, except for a few remaining bugs and annoying hangs on Polaris cards. So I'd say they were pretty far along, but dxvk surely surpassed that.

Quoting: etonbearsNow, why did I go into that detail? The reason is that this is the mechanism by which DXVK is implemented. Wine does not actually contain a working implementation of D3D10 or D3D11 in winelib.
Not exactly. A lot of D3D11 / D3D10 is already implemented over OpenGL. But that's suboptimal, and implementation is not as complete as DXVK.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTWill Wine Staging esync work with DXVK? Do I have to activate that for every specific Wineprefix somehow?
esync is activated with an environment variable, as long as Wine is built with it:

WINEESYNC=1

So you can put it in your game start script.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Another exciting Wine release, the good news don't end here though - ahead of the official announcement, the Staging release for 4.6 will include the popular eSync patches.

Great times ahead :)
Is it a sign that esync patches were refactored and will be considered for inclusion in upstream Wine? A major useful feature like that should really be upstream.

Far Blade looks like a very unique 3D boss rush adventure

It's actually not voxels. Some details on implementation: https://twitter.com/BcubedLabs/status/1112530396523065344 [External Link]

I guess this can be called voxel art style?
