CD Projekt RED 'working closely with Valve' as The Witcher 3 is Steam Deck Verified

Quoting: jordicomaIt's a native port or it has only minor changes to put the banner of "Steam deck verified"?
I assume they simply made UI more aware of smaller screen (that was the main complaint about TW3 on the Deck from what I've heard), so it's not native, but same DX11/dxvk version.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWow, the comments on that announcement seem to be 90% Russians yelling about nazis and calling CDPR "traitors" and stuff.
Let them vent out to Putin if they want to scream. I think CDPR did the right thing.

Nice, nice. I want to see native Linux games from CDPR though using Vulkan. Developers of their caliber can do the work.

Wine 7.4 changes the default theme and more PE conversion work

Wine 7.4 update is extremely buggy, both regular and staging. Broke Shadow Warrior 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.

Well, I mean why did Wine developers need to bother about some Sun lawyers being scared calling their tools emulators? I don't really get that part. For all intents of the dictionary meaning, I see no issue with calling Wine an emulator. No one claimed it emulates everything from Windows. It does emulate what it provides, quite clearly.

You didn't really answer the question focusing on the wrong part. The main point is - why even bother with explicit negative phrasing "not an emulator"? How sudden it was is not really relevant to that.

Saying it was just a joke kind of doesn't explain the motivation behind it if it was put into the official name of the project. Also, Wine developers aren't Sun, so why would they care about what Sun lawyers were worried about?

Quoting: F.UltraI don't see him as an authority on this matter at all, he was simply a nice guy who decided to write a FAQ back in 1995 to help the project.
Then why a sudden need to emphasize "not an emulator" at one point? Today Wine kind of stopped doing it, which is a good thing.

Quoting: F.UltraWine "never" called it self an emulator (except in some parts of the old FAQ).
If the FAQ references it, it clearly was meant to be called an emulator.

I recommend you to move along together with those who didn't like Wine being called an emulator. I see no point in any of your arguments above. I called Wine an emulator and will continue calling it so.

Good, then what are you even arguing about? If discussion doesn't work for you, don't engage in discussion posting flame comments that are simply false :)
