If Nvidia will start supporting Nova upstream - that would be good.

Lol. Let them get lost with these excuses about why their invasive anti-cheat is contradictory to the open nature of Linux. The problem is with invasive, not with Linux.

Optimizing UE4 sounds impossible, but if the could improve anything - that's good.

Good to know, thanks! I have a GOG version I can check for updates.

Quoting: Liam DaweYes it has 64bit nowadays, at least on Steam it does, which also has the legacy 32bit version too but 64bit is the default.

Did they ever make the game 64-bit? I remember giving up on it due to it hitting "large file" bug (very common bug for low quality 32-bit releases which many old Unity games suffered from).
Basically, when building anything 32-bit you need to tell the compiler to handle 64-bit file descriptors, otherwise your program can fail on some filesystems. Search for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS - it should always be set to 64 for games these days, or better everything should be 64-bit already.

For general purposes archiving I'm using zstd + tar now anyway.

Though I'd say they need part 3 with mapping that theory to practical pieces with names like amdgpu + radv or nova + nvk and so on, lol. That would help those who are fuzzy on this.
Very roughly, when you see some name just try to figure out whether it refers to the kernel or userpsace component. That would help narrow down understanding what it's for.

nvk is a Vulkan implementation that uses the kernel driver, so no, it's not a kernel driver itself. So it's either nvk + nouveau or nvk + nova.

Quoting: fenglengshunHm... and the NVK isn't a kernel driver? I think it's in Mesa, so does that mean it's the userspace driver? Sorry, really don't know about the details - all I've been hearing is about how NVK is supposed to be a replacement for Nouveau.

Sounds like they need to sandbox / sanitize that somehow or better audit and sanitize. That's a pretty major security hole.
Such as simply restrict access for that running code to only very specific areas that are relevant to it. So it won't be able to go on rampage on your data.
