vkd3d for Direct3D 12 to Vulkan in Wine has released the first stable version

Quoting: ZeloxHave anyone tryed witcher 3 with this and got it working?

Witcher 3 is using D3D11, and vkd3d is for D3D12, so it's not useful for it. It might be useful for their future game, if CDPR will foolishly use D3D12 instead of Vulkan for Cyberpunk 2077.

Quoting: LeopardWitcher 3 needs this afaik

Quite a few D3D11 games need it. D3D12 also has it, so it's a missing feature for vkd3d as well.

Hopefully Wine developers can also explain to Khronos how they need to use stream output (transform feedback ) with Vulkan in vkd3d.

So far no one answered their last question here [External Link].

I hope you like Anime & Manga styled games, as GOG just added 10 with Linux support

Quoting: GuestI have a question, it may be a stupid one, but it's one I can't figure out: why do visual novels count as games?

I suppose it's a computer variant of game books. You can make some choices which change the story.

Story-driven RPG INSOMNIA: The Ark has a new trailer showing some darker elements
22 May 2018 at 12:35 pm UTC

Quoting: INSOMNIA_The_ArkWe have promised DRM-free versions for some of our backers, and when we get on GOG this will be available for everyone who is interested, I guess.

I'm a backer and opted for DRM-free version :) You also have the option of itch.io until GOG approves your game.

Mesa 18.1 is out with the shader cache on for Intel

Quoting: GustyGhost
Quoting: Guestmesa is a life saver for intel and amd users however i still stand by what i always said older games are still going to run bad in mesa due to being mostly optimized for nvidia gpus
I have not experienced any performance issues with older games whatsoever.

Same here. Old games work fine with Vega 56.

Broforce, one of the best action platformers ever just got a nice performance patch

Quoting: liamdaweI've already been in touch with GOG to get it updated :)

About missing GOG updates, there is something weird going on with inXile's satirical The Bard's Tale. I asked about it, but response was very vague [External Link].

Do you have any contacts in inXile who can help with this?
