a bit late port to a game that hasn't been successul and is mediocre at the best. I guess at least a game thats not grand strategy on the list :)

Hoping DiRT Rally 2.0 port will be day one or relly close to release though.

Looks like both A Hat in Time and Gravel are coming to Linux, ports from Virtual Programming

Great news that they are still working on something. Hopefully they will bring Vulkan this time around as MXGP3 was pretty bad in terms of performance.

Gravel looks interesting

Nice! And yeah its performing really good. One of those Unity games that goes into the list that performs amazingly.

I will wait for the multiplayer co-op before i jump back in though.

That image on the article looks exactly like the level in Shadow Warrior, just with pixel graphics

So far so good. except the mentioned unity games crashes.

Performance seems same as 396.54.09 and theres no stuttering unlike previous 415.x drivers

make yourself heard, so this gets more attention

Feral Interactive are teasing another Linux port

Quoting: Fakeman_PretendnameOkay, so you... flush away a sort of "Dirt", which is sometimes called a "number 2"... and when using decimal fractions we say "two point one" for 2.1 and so on... so we're looking at a sort of Dirt 2 point...

Dirt Rally 2.0


and um, "where are we going", because um, Rallying is based on navigating from point to point on a track which you don't know beforehand... and it has a man with a spear on a flying horse because... um. I don't know.
I hope you are right. Please be Dirt Rally 2 :D

Quoting: GuestIt's worth noting that VP's version uses OpenGL, not Vulkan. I don't mean to say one way or another is better, but from a pure performance perspective I suspect DXVK will win out.
Note that there are other considerations: if vsync is enforced (doubtful), if there are any crashes/glitches that impact gameplay (uh....yeah, let's just move on from the initial launch there...), and of course the matter of customer support (VP are normally pretty good there these days, and do have a quick turnaround on reported problems).

That being said, I was hopeful to see VP use Vulkan going forward, because I think they could do very nice things with it. But I'm also pragmatic enough to see that perhaps wine + DXVK might given them a run for their money very soon (at least on Steam, perhaps less so via GOG).
Ofc, their port is using OpenGL 4.1 according to logs. 60 FPS cap on a 144hz monitor, now way sadly :( and the thing is, where there are other racers around its even worse with the VP port sadly. I just benchmarked timetrial because it can be compared more equally. Doing race with other racers can yield too much variety in results
