Quoting: ScooptaI've got to imagine ferals wrapper is that cut and dry. If it was it wouldn't take them this long to port games. I'm sure they use one(seeing as we have the name) but I don't think that's all they do. That being said one is native and the other is wine so even if the performance is worse I'd take the native.

It's not native, it's a wrapper. But I'm not sure whether it's D3D11 → Vulkan or D3D12 → Vulkan. Rise of The Tomb Raider supposedly supports both D3D11 and D3D12.

The reason it takes Feral long time is I assume the fact that they don't have full D3D11/12 translation implementations, and need to fill missing gaps in each port. Plus unlike Wine they don't have many other APIs that potentially need translation, so every new port requires them to complete them as well.

How does performance of Feral's wrapper compare to dxvk? Both are using D3D11 → Vulkan translation, so it would be interesting to see. Or is it using D3D12 → Vulkan?

Just for the reference, apparently developers know about this bug with videos, and they are working on the fix.

Quoting: DoctorJunglistThe devs posted a fix to the Steam forums, we're missing a dependency - installing it fixes the issue I posted about.

sudo eopkg install gsm

What's gsm?

UPDATE: I found the project: http://www.quut.com/gsm/ [External Link]

I already have libgsm1 installed. That didn't really affect anything.

Where are there supposed to be intro videos? I don't think I got any, but I'm not sure where they are supposed to be.

Interestingly, that's one of the rare cases when delayed Linux release on GOG results in their front page announcement: https://www.gog.com/news/release_ruiner [External Link]

Great! I'll give it a test later today.

Quoting: DoctorJunglistThe game's not DRM free, and can't be launched without Steam.

Ah, that's annoying. So it's hard to say whether it's affected by Steam or not. Once they'll release it on GOG, I'll give it a try and will comment here.

Quoting: DoctorJunglistAs I said, if I launch it with Steam already running, the terminal output gets terminated once the game launches.

Can you figure out how to launch the game without Steam? Try to disable Steam launch in the script for a test.

Quoting: DoctorJunglistI'm using Nvidia, here's the terminal output [External Link] when I run Ruiner.sh directly (I have to do it with having Steam closed, because otherwise the output gets terminated once the game is launched).

It still has a lot of Seam related output there somehow including something about Steam overlay (try disabling that). Try to get the output from the actual game.
