455.22.04 seems Great. No Floating rocks in Horizon Zero Dawn anymore and also tiny 5-7% perf boost with those drivers. Performance in this game is still terrible though.

Woooah.. thats a whole lot of STUFF!
Really deep README.md as well.
Nice work. Looks like a great tool for people who want to fiddle with settings fast via GUI solutions.
Will have to test it out myself.

FOBIA - St. Dinfna Hotel is an upcoming psychological horror - try the demo

It looks Good, Performs mostly good. Has few heavy fps drops at times. Gameplay seems to be inspired by loads of other similar games. Inventory system is like in Resident Evil games. Voiceacting is quite bad though and needs a lot of improvements. It sounds quite cringe when a person is in a situation like this and telling "Those bastards, made a mess in here" or "Who's Knocking? Thats all i needed now."
It needs to be more terrifying in these types of situations. Why is the Door locked and someone is knocking?

Anyway.. Its promising, but voiceacting needs work is my opinion.

Vintage Story - https://www.vintagestory.at [External Link] - Nice Survival game. Has Complex crafting systems, seasons with great visuals and some exploration aspects. Not a finished game yet though, but have played it around 20-30 hours with a friend and we haven't really reached to the endgame crafting yet.

Warhammer Online - https://www.returnofreckoning.com [External Link] - as always. My go to RvR/PvP MMORPG. Works wonderfully under wine.

DiRT Rally 2.0 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/690790/DiRT_Rally_20/ [External Link] - Finished the Master Career mode and did some daily events. A proper Rally game. Works wonderfully with proton.

Horizon Zero Dawn - Not really playing it as its still quite broken visually and performs bad. But there's progress made with vkd3d. It now launches and runs somewhat. More to come.

edit:
As for Gamepad.. I have 2x Steam Controllers. I don't really use gamepad much for gaming. Keyboard warrior mostly. Some rare times when friends come over and we play some games from the couch, they work wonderfully though.

After an impressive demo and many teasers, art of rally releases September 23

I wonder whats the price gonna be.
Its an impressive game though, at least judging from the demo.

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: XpanderGreat to see you are using Linux PC wording. Need more of that!
I couldn't start the demo, altough there is one for Linux:
They've linked an exe file (and manually starting didn't work either).
Need less of that...
ahh that's not good.
i don't really care about the game myself anyway, i was just amazed by the Linux PC wording in the title

Vintage Story - https://www.vintagestory.at [External Link] - minecraft, but not minecraft. A lot more hardcore. Making a copper pickaxe for example means you have to use clay to make the cast before, then smelt the copper nuggets with thee right temperature, pour the molten copper into the cast and wait for it cool down, then craft the pickaxe head to craft the pickaxe.. Looks also nicer than Minecraft visually. runs natively on linux with mono.

Warhammer Online - wine - https://www.returnofreckoning.com [External Link] - Just had a massive patch. My go to PvP MMORPG fix.

DiRT Rally 2.0 - proton - Doing my regular daily/weekly events and advancing in the career mode. Really nice rally game. Sad that its ruined a bit by so many DLC's.

Observer: System Redux should be available for Linux PC too

Quoting: GuestThis game really had a great atmosphere and story, but the narrow fov, view bobbing and light strobing really gave me a headache and some motion sickness that I _never_ get in 3d games. Not fun.
FoV was fixable via config files as well as unlocking the framerate and removing the stupid chromatic abberation.
It was then playable. View Bobbing didnt bother me after tweaking those settings.

I really liked this game. Nice to see the continued Linux support

DiRT Rally 2.0 - Since kernel 5.8 that added missing pieces to G920 kernel driver, it works now out of box with it, without the need of beramas ffbwrap tool. Runs really good also, constantly 100+ fps @1440p with vkbasalt sharpness added on top.

Warhammer Online (Return of Reckoning server) - This just my go to PvP MMORPG.

also i played a bit Surviving the Aftermath - sadly its not on steam atm, but it will eventually come there. Runs great under wine/DXVK
