Quoting: EhvisAlso noticed that the "nile" dev is working on Heroic now. So I'm hopeful that the amazon games stuff might eventually make it into Heroic as well so I have all my alternative sources in one place.
He already contributed the GoG implementation which happend a lot earlier than the invention of nile.:wub:

Quoting: SethMHow is it that Valve is fixing these issues so quickly and the developers (of certain companies ofc), who you would expect to test Proton support at least in passing, are managing to completely break things?
I wouldn't call https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/commit/ae2fad7338cc2f914536469656448ecb5fdcf294 [External Link] a fix, it is a hack and a bandaid solution.

Hopefully with the next cycle they can improve their default rendering. Games like Mafia 3 are pitch black :)
