You need wmp# only for games that use messed up MS codecs. Not all do luckily.

DX9 games actually mostly have very good support already. You probably meant DX11 ones?

Got it on GOG. Graphics look very good and artistic, I'll check out the gameplay and story.

Crypt of the NecroDancer: AMPLIFIED grooves its way out of Early Access

Sounds great, but I'm annoyed they still didn't fix the lacking LFS and didn't release the game in 64-bit either. The crashes are consistent, unless I use loop device file.

I tried to point out this to developers multiple times (after the original game came out), and they initially said they'll take a look, but it was complete silence since.

See here [External Link] and here [External Link]. That's not how developers should address bugs.

Wine Staging 2.12 released with Direct3D 10/11 improvements and better Mesa support

Installing wine-staging should pull in wine-staging-amd64 as well I think. If not, install it explicitly.

apt-cache depends wine-staging

Game store itch seems to have a problem with people selling pirated games

Quoting: HoriThat's not a solution. Devs shouldn't HAVE to sell their games on every single store out there in order to combat piracy...

You didn't get the point. It's not about "combating piracy", it's about reaching more people who are actually interested in their games.

If something was sold that way by some crooks, developers can take note and start actually selling their games there officially.

The Witcher 3 practically didn't improve from the previous Wine, at least with Mesa/radeonsi.

OpenGL multithreading in Mesa is ready for wider testing
12 Jul 2017 at 2:55 pm UTC

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTBy the way, is there a best practice guide on how to file bug reports on freedesktop for games crashing? What I would try to do is posting the log of the game, a gdb trace but I don't feel like compiling Mesa etc. with debug symbols.

apitrace is usually useful. https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/blob/master/docs/USAGE.markdown [External Link]
