Quoting: BrisseThat is awesome that Dark Souls III made the list [...], but to be honest, there's a performance issue that sometimes causes the framerate to take a big dip after loading screens and as far as I know it's not been fixed
Has anyone actually tried using newest Proton with an older DXVK version to check what's actually causing that regression?

I personally can't reproduce the problem at all, the game runs at a nice 60 FPS at all times.
I'm with NVIDIA and don't have such issue (but 410 series driver). The only thing that may not work in the future, is my gamepad if I keep dying that much...

Quoting: JiskinIt's funny how some people reacts to this news: "I planned to buy their games but as Linux support might be dropped, I won't.". This way you reduce the Linux market share and you give another excuse to drop it.

My view is to buy the games now if you intended to, so Linux market share cannot be neglicted.

Maybe I'm wrong as we won't weight enough anyway, but the boycott now is not helpful.
I cannot speak for the others but i am well aware boycotts do not work. In my case, i just do not want to contribute to Microsoft's coffers.

Plus game wise i am not very optimistic. But even if the next Obisidian inXile game was interesting to me, i still wouldn't give a dime to M$
I too think it might be more helpful to give the money to a developer who offers at least a chance of more Linux titles.
Even if I can understand you point of view, just picture it in a capitalistic world: would you help or provide a service to a community hostile in paying you for that ? Obviously no.

We should be inspired by South Africa and forgive. MS is not the old ennemy it was, and whatever you think they have made some great products and major contributions to Linux and PC world.

If the Linux users' mentality do not change, why MS would ?
