DiRT Rally - Taking part of the GOL League we have had running for more than a year: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3909

DiRT Rally 2.0 - New Season just Started: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3971
Obviously not many people have this game as its not native, but it does work well in proton but without FFB support, for that you need custom proton or run through wine and steam.

Surviving Mars - Just started playing it. Completed the tutorial and Started a New game. Still learning. Love the details on the environments and it has some amazing music as well. Ofc Gameplay seems really nice also.

Warhammer Online - Tiny bit of RvR Action i managed to squeeze into my weekend as well. Needs wine to run this and works with D9VK also. https://www.returnofreckoning.com [External Link]

NVIDIA releases the GeForce RTX 2060 and 2070 "SUPER" GPUs, along with a new Linux driver

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThe RTX 2060 SUPER should be called RTX 2060ti...
agree, but i think its because they can't make another 2080 Ti :)

Super is such a stupid name though. but whenever i see that name, somehow the voice of SuperHot (Game) level completion comes into my brain :D

Quoting: GuestNvidia: releases the driver with the hardware on the same day, even for linux.
AMD: "We are targeting a launch day driver [for Linux] but Windows obviously takes priority"(https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/07/02/will-amd-radeon-rx-5700xt-graphics-cards-support-linux-gaming/#4e6d19043af9)
Sadly thats been the trend with AMD :( .Ryzen support seems a bit broken also, It always takes few weeks or a month to settle all the mess for AMD sadly. Ofc its probably not that huge deal as most users wont buy day one hardware, at least i guess, but still sucks.

Nvidia is Evil for many, but they always had drivers ready for the launch day.

A day late, but Happy B-Day GoL! You have been doing amazing job with the linux gaming coverage as well as building a great community. Lets keep it up for the next 10 years and more!

What are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it? It's mostly Dota Underlords for me

Real Life Simulator is probably most played during the weeekend.
But a bit Dirt Rally (the first game) and some RAGE 2 with the help of proton, will squeeze in.

Maybe i can squeeze some more games into my weekend, but will see.

Quoting: 14
Quoting: XpanderProbably playing a bit of Warhammer Online also with the help of wine. Quite fun for some RvR action.
How are you playing that? Are there community servers or something? I went to http://www.warhammeronline.com/ [External Link] and saw that it was sunset.

don't have much time to play on the weekend, but a little bit...

RAGE 2 - Works amazing with proton, once i disable the AsyncCompute from settings.ini it doesnt freeze either. Sadly i completed the main story line too fast, but there are still plenty of things to do in the game

If i get some time i want to continue with...

Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger - Another flawless game under proton and with D9VK its performing 3x the regular wined3d.

Probably playing a bit of Warhammer Online also with the help of wine. Quite fun for some RvR action.

Sadly no native games currently on my horizon, but want to get back into Volcanoids as soon as they drop the multiplayer.

art of rally is bringing a stylized racing experience to Linux later this year

Thats good to hear. Thanks for covering it. Absolute Drift was quite an amazing small game imo. Really looking forward to thisone!
