Building it is quite easy too, so you can do it yourself.
Debian already has dxvk winelib version packaged (that's another easy way to to keep it up do date): https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dxvk [External Link]
Interestingly, dxvk repo includes compiled Vulkan library for Windows, to avoid making an extra dependency build I suppose?

It creates a slight problem for Debian packaging dll version since it's a blob (even though the source for it exists), while Debian requires to work with sources during build.

Quoting: YoRHa-2BIn case of UE4, you might partially blame Nvidia because they are Epic's tech partner, but ultimately this issue wouldn't exist if developers didn't make poor assumptions and used error handling instead.Is there a point to report this to Epic, or it's not something they'll care to fix?
Same goes for AGS.

It's funny how they write in system requirements for Linux:
Graphics: DirectX 11 Compatible NVIDIA 960 / AMD 560

I haven't played it or followed the project before, but it's free to play now. So don't play if you don't like it :) Why complain about making it free?
Steam Play thoughts: A Valve game streaming service

Not really interested in that sort of thing. DRM already dilutes ability to back up and preserve games. This kind of "streaming" will only make it worse in this sense.

Quoting: ScooptaNvidia cards are reported as AMD cards now, so Nvidia usage will plummet in Steam stats. Thanks to Nvidia pushing their lock-in APIs.Quoting: loggeHaha, now Nvidia gets their parts of being closed-source only! What a day!I'm not sure what exactly you were trying to say but it sounds sort of like a dig on Nvidia yet you have an nvidia card?

GOG have released "Project Hospital": https://www.gog.com/news/release_project_hospital [External Link]
I first confused it with the above Two Point Hospital, but it's a different game.
