Quoting: scaineWell well. So it was! And I claimed it. I'd completely forgotten!

Awesome! Glad it was still there :smile:

Quoting: scaineGoddamit. I'm definitely going to have to buy this if they enable EAC for Proton. Electronic Arts, eh? Whodhavethunkit.

Found it for free last week in the Twitch Prime Gaming Loot :grin:

Very delighted about it. Last weekend I plugged in my Radeon card in my main computer, to try it with some of the games I'm currently playing on Steam (God of War, CP2077 and Forza Horizon 5). It has lasted for about 2 hrs probably.

Quoting: GuestDon't forget Nintendo off that list

I recall there are a few constraints on acquiring a Japanese company. Am I wrong?

This not irrelevant piece of news would obviously have some significant implications in PC Gaming.

How companies such as Valve would react? Would they try to negotiate with Microsoft for an extension of their Game Pass in the Steam Deck, if the latter had a successful outcome, as Gaben himself was hinting at in the previous months?

Quoting: GuestKotick needs to be the first one out the door after this.

All the mess in the last months was probably the Trojan Horse Microsoft was looking for.

Driver 495.44 seems to have broken the RTX with VKD3D-Proton on Manjaro, in games such as The Ascent or Ghostrunner. Here a conversation in Reddit where we found the issue:

I'm at the point to finally switch to Wayland then.

Unfortunately with Gnome 40.* I'm still experiencing the issue that the defined refresh rate is the half of the monitor supported one [External Link] on NVIDIA GPU. Apparently is a EGL issue, which has been fixed for Gnome 42 and GBM (and then NVIDIA Driver 495.44). A few months still to go then for a reliable solution.

Quoting: a0kamiHow's radv doing around this lately for rdna 2 ?

Do you mean Ray-Tracing in general? Not bad actually. Last time I tried Quake RTX on a Radeon RT 6900XT, performance was around ~30fps.

Quoting: F.UltraFor games where you can choose between DX11 and DX12, is the performance differences between DXVK and VKD3D wildly different from game to game or are there any consistent trends?

In the case of the games I tried, either DXVK or vkd3d-proton (with no RTX enabled) don't make any significant difference in terms of performance.
