I appreciate the Linux demo and the fact that they mention DRM-free release from the start!

AMD Vulkan driver 'radv' is now 'effectively a pass' for conformance

Good to see such fast progress. I hope optimizations will be the next logical step.

Regarding two drivers. Once AMD will open source their Vulkan implementation, there is really no reason for distros not to provide it as an option. Let the user decide what performs better, radv or AMD Vulkan.

GOG staff state that Galaxy for Linux is being worked on, but still no ETA

I have no particular interest in incremental client, but people who have hundreds of games and use them often, can find it useful to install updates. However if client is closed, it's something I'm not going to use even if it's available for Linux. Trusting some closed software to install stuff on my computer? No, thanks. I'll leave to the Windows world.

Wine 2.7 is out with shader improvements for Direct3D 11
30 Apr 2017 at 10:16 pm UTC

Quoting: JudasIscariotYou can actually use winetricks as Austin English implemented the ability to turn CSMT off and on in the registry.

OK, that's cool. I didn't realize winetricks provides UI for those settings. Thanks for pointing it out!

Wine 2.7 is out with shader improvements for Direct3D 11

Quoting: scaineWhat's the problem, exactly? Wine isn't emulating windows directly, but it's emulating its system calls.

Exactly. In such sense Wine is an emulator of Windows.

Wine 2.7 is out with shader improvements for Direct3D 11

Quoting: Whitewolfe80
Quoting: ShmerlNot much has improved for the Witcher 3 in this release.
Well you are playing a resource heavy game in a vm which is emulating dx11 (not fully) so yeah there are going to be performance hits i would say leave it six months to a year it will run as well as any other wine wrapped game.

No, performance is already good. I'm talking about missing features (shaders and such).
