Quoting: Xaero_VincentEAC-enabled multiplayer games may bring up the resurgence of GPU passthrough tech for Linux users until Wine & Proton have solid support for EAC. It's still a thing for the less purist Linux gamers open to using a Windows VM and a passed AMD or Nvidia GPU + Looking Glass.

I've personally had success running EAC-enabled games with the easy-to-use Intel GVT passthrough tech:

How did you exactly do that? I tried to run a Win8.1 Pro with GPU Passthrough - but didn't work.
Do I need a second GPU for that, or can I just give the GPU to the VM?

Would be nice for my son - he wants to play Fortnite, but doesnt run on Ubuntu...

GVT-g is shared GPU passthrough, meaning only 1 GPU but it's only the Intel graphics that is supported. But recent Intel graphics is good enough for Fortnite.

What is the specs of the machine?

It's an AMD Ryzen 1800X with 1070Ti...

Which is acually the best Nvidia Driver to use Proton?
I actually use the 396.54 for my 1070TI

"...the former Executive Vice President at Electronic Arts... "

Doesn`t sound to me, that there will be a Linux Game coming out of this company.

Would be nice though, as i like Paradox and their games.

Quoting: 14

Quoting: fedotixInsurgency Sandstorm maybe one day ...:(

That's what I was hoping to see on the list. :( It's probably the #1 Linux release that I'm looking forward to at this time.

Quoting: einherjarHmm, to be honest, there is not one title, that is interesting for me.

What type of games appeal to you?

It is titles like:
* Deus EX MD
* The Witcher 1-3 (actually I play TW2)
* Stellaris
* CS:GO
* Looking forward to X4 on Linux

and of course lots more. But my time is very limited, so I only choose the really good ones (for me). I have bought lots of games and never had time to play them....

Quoting: einherjarIf GOG will really support Linux, I would consider buying games in their store. But surely won't happen. They seem to have serious problems. Linux will not be prioritized.

You're confusing "supporting linux" with "treating linux like a first-class citizen." Discord and Epic do not support linux, they don't offer any linux versions of games. GOG supports linux, but doesn't treat it like a first-class citizen. Valve does, but then again they have (or had, at least) a platform that basically prints money.

Hmm, I said really support Linux. Actually you do not get all games with Linux Versions in GOG store and I can't see them ever releasing a Galaxy Linux client.
And they do not release their own games on Linux. That is not really supporting Linux. It's some kind of "half hearted" Linux support. But I never said it's no Linux support.

Quoting: damarrinGOG operates in a different environment to Valve. Linux is completely negligible in their native Poland, they are almost certainly disinterested in Linux themselves and the Witcher 2 debacle was more than enough to turn them away from Linux users almost completely (I think it’s very probable the Galaxy no show on Linux is also due to that) They’re also a publicly-traded company and anything they do that doesn’t bring them profits is a huge liability to their share price. Their shareholders are Polish, so they don’t care about the Linux market at all and any actions to support us will be viewed as nonsensical.

Hmm, so if they don't care for the Linux Community, why should I care for them?

They operate in an international market. So it is not that interesting, if the polish people do not care about Linux.

It would be nice, if they would care about us, but sadly they don't. As a German I would like to support a european company. But not in this way. No TUX no BUX ;-)

If GOG will really support Linux, I would consider buying games in their store. But surely won't happen. They seem to have serious problems. Linux will not be prioritized.

Quoting: Alm888Good news!
As much as I liked "X: Rebirth", no way I'm gonna pay in full for a delayed release. I'm waiting for DRM-free Linux version on sale (most probably, on GOG) to get it.

Uhhh, that's really a disappointing attitude, IMHO.

This is a really small dev studio with limited ressources. But they still take care of the Linux Community.

.and you're crying about a later release :sick:

I hope that not too much Linuxgamers think like you. Otherwise I could just understand, if we do not get games on our plattform.

I just finished The Witcher 1 and started with Witcher 2.

Sadly I couldn't use my Witcher 1 savegames. Seems not to work, because I bought TW1 on GOG and TW2 on steam :-(

So I do not have my nice Swords and less Orens.

Otherwise I had lots of fun with TW1 and will play all three titles to enjoy the whole story.
