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: PenglingWine blames CEF, the chromium embedded framework. Sounds like it isn't necessarily Microsoft at work here but just a Chromium Framework <-> wine incompatibility.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:

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:

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

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 Heroiccan you tell me why neither of the 2 feels right for you?

Galaxy on Windows because it integrates GoG and Other Stores like Lutris into a common interface.
Heroic for Linux to get Amazon, GoG and Epic Games running there.
Steam for SteamGames as that is hard to reimplent
Battle.net via Wine for Activision/Blizzard Games on Linux, but i hope we will eventually get an OpenSource implementation for this. The reverse engineering is amazing for this company down to private servers for World Of Warcraft and mods abusing bugs in Starcraft 1 :wub:
Haven't gone down the path of Emulation too much so i think i don't need Lutris that much.
Maybe i am used to do it all manually with wine in the past:whistle:

Looks a bit brighter but not visually pleasing. A remake would have been my choice here. I think people already demonstrated that as a sparetime project
