New OBS Plugin Offers Game Capture Solution on Wayland (for Vulkan renderers)
26 Mar 2021 at 6:22 pm UTC

Quoting: KithopSo I think that's why EGL comes into play, here.
I don't think Wayland is tied to EGL? Wayland is a protocol, it's not really tied to a specific implementation. It can work with WSI.

The Vulkan WSI (Window System Interface) is a set of API calls serve a similar purpose as EGL does for OpenGL ES or GLX for OpenGL. Vulkan WSI includes support for Wayland from day one: VK_USE_PLATFORM_WAYLAND_KHR. Vulkan clients can run on unmodified Wayland servers, including Weston, GENIVI LayerManager, Mutter / GNOME Shell, Enlightenment, and more. The WSI allows applications to discover the different GPUs on the system, and display the results of GPU rendering to a window system.

So that's why I was asking why they are using EGL instead of let's say WSI.

Quoting: BrisseYou can follow OBS Pipewire progress here :happy:
I didn't get that part:

The new capture is only loaded when running on EGL, since it depends on EGL to call gs_texture_create_from_dmabuf().
Isn't EGL OpenGL specific? I thought Vulkan is using WSI for example.

Isn't Pipewire made for this? What's the status of that in OBS?

Is it using Coreboot or some other open firmware?

Quoting: CyrilYeah I'm afraid that a GOG release won't happen too (as for Linux it would be a shame to have it single player only IMO). But maybe the game will come back on itch.io and that would be awesome!
The game was already on itch.io and developer pulled it from there.

Quoting: LeopardProbably it won't happen, for Linux. As GOG games usually depends on GOG client for multiplayer
It's really up to developers how to implement multiplayer. No one is forcing them to use GOG client for it. They can roll out their own servers through whatever cloud provider they want for example instead of being tied to Steam.
