Query Multiple Objects in Ntdll, it can become quite spammy.

Battle.net crashing would be nice to see fixed.

Crossplay sounds good.
But i guess ps4 won't get it.

Steam Deck - SteamOS 3.5.13 Preview improves WiFi, brings LED brightness controls

It would be cool if third party platforms could hook deep in steam OS and show their shop and game library directly instead of only adding shortcuts.
Having them es external apps feels a bit clunky, be it ea, ubi, bnet, Lutris, emudeck or heroic.

Check out this great overview of NVK, the open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver

I never had a problem with the good binary drivers NVIDIA provided.
It was just a bit sad that you couldn't try experiments like the gallium-nine driver because NVIDIA didn't adhere to standards.
Maybe with the new approach we won't have these problems in the future. Although i doubt that anyone will do a directX or OpenGL driver without Vulkan anymore^^

Quoting: GuestIt seems Bnet has been breaking fairly often as of late. It's a shame since I remember it being one of the more reliable ones in WINE;
I'm not too surprised, honestly, since they're Microsoft-owned now. :dizzy:
Wine blames CEF, the chromium embedded framework. Sounds like it isn't necessarily Microsoft at work here but just a Chromium Framework <-> wine incompatibility.

With every release a little bit more works and i should do my periodic Mafia 3 test to see if it lost its black textures already when not using VKD3D and DXVK as translation layers :whistle:

Heroic Games Launcher 2.10.0 released with plenty of essential fixes

What do you mean by web/electron support?
You can watch Netflix and Disney within Heroic and it is build on this framework.

Lutris game manager v0.5.14 adds EA App integration, expanded Flatpak support

Quoting: GuestI have settled on using bottles for everything except steam (of course) and gog native linux games. I didn't find myself "at home" using neither Lutris nor Heroic
can you tell me why neither of the 2 feels right for you?
