Quoting: Liam DaweAnnoying, but shouldn't this be what Borderless Windowed Mode is for in games?

In theory yes, but not all games do same thing sadly

Games will now leave fullscreen mode when the game window loses focus.
This is closer to Windows behaviour and fixes various issues with games hanging on some setups. (PR #2675)

Hopefully we will get the option to disable that new behaviour.
That basically kills the dual-monitor and workspace usage for me. Having to do one more click to bring the game up after focus loss. At least there was hope per discussions on the discord that there might be an option for this in the future to bring old method back again.

Cant have nice things because windows behaviour i guess :(

Quoting: mylkaisnt global hotkey also up to the program? like OBS has to implement it

btw OBS. recording is kinda blurry at higher resolution. i read there is an issue with scaling other than 100%. i have not tried it, because i would not use it that way anyway, when it works just fine on x11

wayland still has a long way to go

I mean who cares who's fault it is. If it works on X11, i expect it to work on wayland also :smile:

Great news.

-Global hotkey support
-Copy-paste between wayland and xwayland that doesn't break
-Drag and drop between applications is finnicky and not always working
-Window management with positions, geometry etc are lacking features.

Just to name some. Hopefully things get better faster.
And lots of people use Wayland just fine already. It depends on the needs i guess.

Ohh nice so APB: Reloaded doesn't require winetricks vcrun2017 anymore i guess as well as theres DXVK side update for it to not have frametime spikes when shooting cars/objects. Had to use that before:
DXVK_CONFIG="d3d9.cachedDynamicBuffers = True"

This old game is still kept alive, which is pretty neat.

Is that laptop only issue?
i haven't encountered any issues and have been running 6.10 and 560 drivers long time.
I also use my PC quite heavily every day and rarely shut it down. But i use X11 not wayland if thats also a difference i guess..

For me nvidia drivers have been incredibly stable since 545 at least... 530 had some regressions with some games iirc but after that its been smooth sailing for me

RTX 3080,Arch Linux, MATE desktop X11

Quoting: dpanterOnly use Proton Experimental for the edge cases where something isn't working properly, like this one. There's already a fix and it'll be merged into stock Proton as necessary, making Hotfix version the current proper choice for this specific game at this point in time. Once merged, change back to stock Proton.

Do not use Experimental as default or as a permanent choice. It cannot be overstated or repeated enough times. Come on people.

Wait what... I always use experimental and haven't ran into issues. If i would then i would switch to normal proton for said game, but running experimental has been fine and its nice to have latest and greatest improvements....now bleeding edge experimental is entirely different topic ofc.

edit: i mean each their own, but experimental stable channel is just fine.. newer releases usually work the best with it before the fixes get into hotfix or into stable.. in rare cases where regressions happen, its not hard to switch to stable then for that game.

Signed yesterday. Hope it really works out. At least we can try!
Super easy to sign with the eID also and it only checks if you are valid citizen, not your other info.

560.28.03 seems to work as good as 555.58 .. no issues to report. well except i haven't tried with firmware enabled yet. But yeah.. no complaints. X11 though.

Ahh nice. so Farlight 84 doesn't require GE-Proton and WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 anymore
The game is starting to die though, just around 2000 players playing now. Used to be like around 10k few months ago iirc.
