This weekend I downloaded Automobilista 2 (Early Access), and although it has some bugs, the performance is quite good, and online races work well.

Looking to follow more Linux gaming sources? Here's a few you might like

For some months I have been playing WoW Classic leveling with some friends, enjoying it a lot and playing without any issue via Lutris.

After some time trying hard to install Assetto Corsa with Lutris to play the Steam/Windows version, and never succeed, finally got to success installing it with Proton using this guide [External Link]

Performance was poor when you use several HUBs in races, but after switching from Proton 5.0.2 to Proton-5.1-GE, it worked like a charm!

So I spend racing all weekend with my G27 enjoying the game a lot (thanks a lot to @berarma for his awesome tools Oversteer [External Link] and the new Logitech driver [External Link], with these gems simracing in Linux is starting to reach parity with Windows using Logitech Wheels :)).

If we get some bugs fixed in multiplayer races in games like rFactor2 (Issue #245 [External Link] ) or Assetto Corsa Competizione (Issue #1420 [External Link] ) my free time will dissapear instantly! LOL!

I also have started a few weeks ago Shadow of the Tomb Raider but I have it a little bit stopped.

Too much to play and not enough time!!

Steam Play Proton is correctly tracking Linux sales, a statement from Valve

Now It would be valuable to check if the same Windows game dev could try to look again in his sales summary if the change was applied and now sees Liam's and other linux sales in his game.

DXVK, the Vulkan-based layer for Direct3D 10/11 in Wine has a major 1.1 release out now (updated)

Ok, then I'm good with the correct one. Current newer version for nvidia is 418.56, but at least keeps with the upgrades.

Thanks!

Spoiler, click me
Anyone knows where i can get latest Nvidia 418.49.4 Vulkan drivers for Ubuntu except from the Nvidia site? I know about ppa:graphics-drivers/dev but it seems like this ppa is abandoned since October.
Use the non-dev branch of the ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [External Link]
I've had issues with xorg dying on me randomly with 418.56 though.
This comes up often, that's the wrong PPA which does not include and never has included the vulkan beta driver that's needed. The one that does have them, as the other posts said, seems to no longer be updating.
That is the PPA that I have been using for ages since I started to use ubuntu. So then, which is the good one?

I'm having problems with the detection of the Steam Controller in the game. Normally the games detect it as a Xbox360 controller, and the buttons get mapped as the 360 ones, but just when I launch the game, I see a message with the recomendation of using a controller instead keyboard/mouse. When I click a button, the in game display for the action of controller buttons change to the keyboard ones.

Anyone with the same issue?
