Is GOG version coming? Looks like a perfect game for it.

Quoting: Avehicle7887I think from a business perspective it's not viable for them to invest in a Linux version when the game runs fine in Wine (and probably better in the long run).

Yeah, I expected these porting companies to stop making native Linux versions once Wine reached quality level that it has now. I.e. dxvk / vkd3d-proton commoditized MS graphics APIs translation that there is no money in doing it as a service. Note that their efforts were lost to the larger Linux world since their technology was never open sourced.

Companies like Collabora are more productive in actually advancing many areas of the Linux ecosystem in a way that helps gaming too (and Wine too by the way). It's good they find ways to get paid for it somehow.

I've never heard of Fanatical games store before. Is it very new?

Looks pretty neat. Will they package it for Debian? Looks like they have their own packages already so why didn't they submit it to the repository?

Good pun, but I don't mind the delay if the game is going to be good too :)

Quoting: Cr1ogenThank you very much for answering!! If it's not a bother, would you have a tutorial on how to activate it? Thank you

You need to enable a setting for the prefix in the registry. For example import this kind of reg file (or set it manually):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
"Graphics"="wayland,x11"

That will load wayland driver ahead of x11 one in the prefix. Or if you use "x11,wayland", you can unset DISPLAY variable on demand for the same effect.

Oh, they have a native Linux version on Steam? I was considering getting it on GOG in general.

Quoting: TactikalKittySo is it safe to stay with NVidia at this point or should I still consider buying an AMD card if I upgrade from the RTX 3070?

I'd say you should consider that in the context of nova + nvk. If it can work for you - then may be. But otherwise AMD is still a better option. So if you are upgrading today - no question there, get one of the latest AMD cards.

Quoting: Cr1ogenAny News with Wine wayland?

I'm using it now - it's good, though there are some issues related to Plasma 5 which I hope won't be present in Plasma 6 (Debian was a bit slow in packaging it but it's coming soon). But those are compositor related I think. Wine Wayland itself is already very usable.
