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 [External Link])

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.

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.

Time to test more. So far no perf improvements, but no regressions also.

DXVK 1.1.1 quickly tested games: Subnautica, Far Cry Primal
D9VK 29ec9294 quickly tested games: Call of Juarez Gunslinger, Crisys 1.

same perf as with 418.74. well at least with non scientific testing, if there are improvements or regressions then those are not something you notice.

Quoting: rapakivI hope they don't stop here, there is a Blood2 to rebuild :)

Played them both in the past, but enjoyed more the second than the first episode

you are the first person i know who enjoyed blood 2 more than the first one.
Imo Blood 2 was quite bad. First one sets the atmosphere much better and is overall better game imo, but ofc opinions are different.
