Cybperunk 2077 works fine in Wine wayland mode (with vkd3d-proton).

For anyone buying new AMD cards - looks like Sapphire are planning Pulse models for 7900 XTX and 7900 XT! They should be better than reference models but not too different from reference ones in power requirements (unlike more overclocked variants like Nitro+).

Is this MR helping it in general or just some specific use case?

Quoting: YoRHa-2BIt's frustrating but we're just going to have to live with it. It's not something we can really work around on the DXVK or vkd3d-proton side either.

Is this all driven by the idea to make 32-bit applications work on 64-bit with "thunking"? It probably would affect 32-bit most severely, but I was wondering why some kind of ABI translation has to happen for 64-bit as well?

Quoting: JuliusSo you bought it a second time?

Nope, they sent out keys go backers (I think my tier was "standard"?), so I got the game on GOG using it.

Quoting: whizse

Quoting: mrdeathjrat simple seek affects winevulkan but if you have dxvk in theory must be save

As I understand it, this regression is in winevulkan. It affects Windows games that uses Vulkan natively such as DOOM and the later Wolfensteins.

I thought winevulkan is simply Wine's handling of Vulkan path. dxvk and vkd3d-proton will have to go through it as well, no?

Quoting: Liam DaweSounds like some of their work actually decreases performance https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/1667#note_18621 [External Link]

This sounds like a serious concern. 26% performance regression is not fun.

Quoting: JuliusHow about finally releasing the game? I am an original Kickstarter funder and still haven't played any of it as they keep milking the early access BS and add various gimmicks that normally would be in post release patches I think.

I backed it too, and decided not to wait and just play the current version in Wine. It works OK and the main campaign is interesting enough. The story is not complete though, so keep that in mind.

Quoting: cprnActually, can they legally make improvements and not contribute the changes back upstream? Doesn't Zlib license forbid that? I know it doesn't say so explicitly but it was approved by FSF and I though all FSF approved licenses were based on this premise. Also, if it doesn't, how can it be described as "compatible with GPL"?

Requirement to provide any modifications as open source that GPL has is usually called "strong copyleft". Licenses like Zlib allow modifications to be distributed without requirement to provide the source code. That's called "weak copyleft".
