That's pretty cool that they are using an open source engine for a high profile game. But I wonder why that one specifically. Is it better than let's say Godot?
By the way, animation sequences in the game trailer look pretty good! Surely not small budget.

Oh, a new Dune game? That's very cool! I hope DRM-free release is planned.

Yeah, may be propose for SteamOS to simply include it by default.

Doesn't Deck come with KDE? So you can probably pull it from the repo if your set up in not in immutable mode. Unless SteamOS repos don't have such packages?

Quoting: LNXI don't use packaged Mesa for gaming, but build Mesa main and run games with it.Quoting: Shmerl...is working again with this release with latest Mesa...Debian + latest Mesa? Really? Is there easy way for my MX linux to get fresh Mesa 22 up&running?

Cyberpunk 2077 is working again with this release with latest Mesa main (it was crashing before due to insufficient stack size).

Not bad, but hopefully AMD can do better with 16 cores / 32 threads CPUs.

An interesting addition in this Wine - built in HLSL compiler. I.e. D3DCompile is now hooked into latest Wine code:

But Cyberpunk 2077 with Cyberengine tweaks you still need install d3dcompiler_47 override. While it's not crashing anymore without it, the tweaks UI itself isn't working either.

I personally like real time + pause gameplay for these kind of RPGs, so I'll probably get this after some round of bug fixes updates and some additional reviews about the writing.
