SFB Games to bring Tangle Tower to Linux post-launch if there's enough demand
16 Oct 2019 at 5:47 pm UTC

Tested native Detective Grimoire in Mint 19.2 with all updates installed and sound works good now! BUT, you can't grab some items and because of that game is unpassable.. So Proton is the only option for this game even though there is a native version.

Quoting: yar4eDetective Grimoire is great game but at the same time it is very bad (are they test it at all?) port to Linux.. For me it's completely unplayable because of crackling sound and "unclickable" key places. Good news is it work great through Proton an i don't need to refund it because i wanted to support the talanted developers (but lazy testers:p).
It worked flawlessly on my system (Debian Mostly-Stretch at this time).

I had crackling sound recently in another game and could fix them by playing around with default-fragments and default-fragment-size-msec in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf . Obviously does not help with hotspots, though.
Maybe it's Linux Mint only bug, i don't know for sure, but my friend sad he had the same problems with it in Mint too.

D3D9 over Vulkan gets even better as D9VK 0.21 'Lollihop' is out

Quoting: elmapul"The more of D3D9 that D9VK supports, the more games using DirectX 9 can be expected to work with Wine and so Steam Play too. "
actually, D9VK means the vulkan implementation, some of the affected games should be games that already run, but now they will run faster.
when WINE add support for new stuff, that is when we got new games to work or work properly
In many cases these games runs not only faster but with fixed graphical bugs ;)
