Quoting: GuestI'm a bit sad about epic's decision. But maybe time is not ripe for linux platform to their road map.This can be an advantage for Valve.For me personally, I won't buy a single game from epic store until something happens like Linux support for example.The next year will be very intresting....:)
Same I wont buy a game from EPIC GAMES
They talk so nasty about Microsoft Giving us some light, yet they cant enable EAC to wotk with Linux and Whitelist DXVK so it wont detect as a Hack, total BS i wish their store fail until they show they care about linux with a Fortnite Port i hope they fail, Windows,PS4,Xbox One,MacOS,ISO really IOS, Android yes Android gets a Port also even tho android is worth it yes big user base but certain phones at least make it Playerable on a Budget Device that is around $100+ Phone can Handle,Ow yeah The Nintendo Switch Got theirs 2, why cant we get one with Vulkan API or give us a DXVK Whitelist on EAC so we can play Fortnite incase their is no Port

Quoting: ThormackGuys, could you recommend some nice free-to-play windows games?

Never used Proton before and don't want to buy win games just for testing.
Surprised you've never accumulated any Windows titles from Bundles, e.g. Humble, Fanatical (Bundle Stars), or elsewhere.

Quoting: massatt212DOTA
DOTA has a native Linux version so it is not a suitable candidate for Steam Play / Proton.

Having a look at Steam's own Free To Play list, I searched on What's Being Played and here are a few titles that are not native Linux which you could consider:

Path of Exile, Warframe, Trove, Eve Online, Neverwinter, Quake Champions, Minion Masters, Gems of War, Fallout Shelter, Stronghold Kingdoms, Blockpost, Bit Heroes, Soda Dungeon, Pixel Puzzles Ultimate.

Personally I tried Fallout Shelter on Proton, only a few days after Proton was released and that worked fine.
Warframe Works Now ? hmmm

Quoting: Guestthats the problem with alot of these games,they need to remove the drm,i mean the publishers.there is no reason to have drm especially if its on steam,you need the darn client to run the games anyway.
When the Game Get Cracked They Dont need Steam Thats why they use DRM
Multiplayer Games Have no worries with it|
But Single Player Titles suffer the Most

VK9, the project that aims to support Direct3D 9 over Vulkan has hit another milestone

Quoting: jensAre there any heavy weight DX9 games?
The Witcher 2 is quite heavy (Windows version is using DX9), but it has an OpenGL wrapped port by Virtual Programming already.
this game runs pretty well on 5yr old cards. if you have an older card, you wont have vulkan

heavy weight DX9 games are nothing for todays cards. even cheap ones like rx570 can handle them easily

Quoting: massatt212he needs to get games running to catch valve eyes, or he can be a scammer or he could just decide to abandon the project, valve needs to see hug progress before supporting him, and their are tones of games that still use DX9
i dont think this means that more games will work, but you could have more FPS.
if they can translate DX9 to VULKAN, they can translate DX9 to OpenGL and thats what proton already does
how many games would profit from VK9? skyrim
are there any other dx9 only games with bad performance?

edit:
