I just brought Afterbirth a couple of days ago. :(

Quoting: pete910

Quoting: Mountain ManAMD has really done a disservice to the Linux community with their poor support. If it wasn't for Nvidia, Linux gaming wouldn't be where it is today.

Don't talk utter crud.

Don't feed the troll. :)

Quoting: BeamboomIt's got very bad review scores though.

From what I've played (maybe a couple of hours since it was just the beta and I decided to wait for the full thing), the game seems like a nice mystery walking simulator. It's a bit slow, but perfectly fine if you like that sort of thing. When it's out of beta, I intend to get back to it.

Quoting: UncleSpankyWill this work for Overwatch and doom like the Wine 2.0-rc's seriously considering buy crossover for all the amazing work wine has made

Almost certainly not as this release came out too early, but I wouldn't be surprised if CodeWeavers releases a new minor version bump of CrossOver when those games are supported, which could be within the next month or so.

Difficult to answer, since I already purchased a bunch of games from the Steam sale I haven't yet played... Undertale, Valley, Pony Island, Oxenfree, Life is Strange, Planetary Annihilation: Titans and Firewatch to name a few. But of the games I own for GNU/Linux which I have played, I'd probably have to vote for either XCOM or XCOM 2.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWine needs DX11 NOW..

Well.. Dying Light is available natively on Linux on Steam... Sadly the DRMFREE edition is Windows only...
The same goes for Metro Redux.

The problem with Dying Light is that it doesn't work under Mesa at all due to using OpenGL compatibility profiles that Mesa does not yet support (and have no current plans to support), and the performance of it under AMDGPU-Pro is horrendous! When it can run under Wine, that will surely perform better. Heck, it couldn't be any worse!

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWine needs DX11 NOW..

It's not far off. Many DX11 titles (that don't have copy protection) seem to be working to some degree. Killing Floor, Watch Dogs and Grey Goo now run for example, although the graphics are somewhat corrupted. Other titles such as Dying Light continue to crash, but get much further into the game before ultimately failing with a D3D11-related error.

Give it a few more months. This is like the early days of Wine supporting D3D9 all over again - it's going to take time, but compatible games will gradually trickle down faster and faster over the coming year.

Here's a bit of me playing one of the levels (along with some debugging, and me getting lost in the level multiple times). :)

I only recorded here at 1920x1080 for YouTube, but I was playing earlier at 2560x1440 just fine.

In other Wine-related news... https://github.com/thevoidnn/wine20-bcrypt-doom [External Link]

Doom (2016) now runs under Wine. I've been testing it out, and while there are issues with saves and cloud syncing (which also prevent multiplayer from working), the in-game performance is as to be expected from an OpenGL/Vulkan game - perfect! The FPS on my Fury X was high enough that I couldn't easily tell the different from Windows (100+ probably) - at 2560x1440, Ultra detail settings. Quite beautiful to see.

Hopefully the patches get ironed out and the remaining bugs fixed soon, so we'll all be able to play Doom without manually patching in the coming weeks.

Nice. Just got my key for the beta via e-mail.
