It seems things aren't all rosy between CodeWeavers and DXVK, as developer Henri Verbeet has written into the Wine Development mailing list to give more details.

Lutris, the rather advanced game library manager is currently going through some major improvements with the 0.5.0 release that's in Beta. The latest new feature, is a rather nifty one.

You might remember, that back in September last year I talked a little about Lutris and Overwatch together and how it was working well. Here’s an update on how it's been going.

For those brave enough to attempt to get more Windows games to run through Steam Play, Protontricks is a handy solution and it's been forked.

Now that Steam has the ability officially to override a Linux game and run it through Steam Play instead, let's take a quick look at some differences in performance.

DXVK, the excellent project that Valve has been funding has a fresh brew out to continue the exciting progress made.

Here's a fun statistic for you today! Steam Play, Valve's fork of Wine which includes DXVK has recently hit 500 titles rated as "Platinum" when going by ProtonDB reports.

How-To: Enable Valve's Proton Compatibility Tool in SteamOS, since the option isn't actually included directly in SteamOS yet.

Today, Valve put out the last Steam Play update of 2018 with Proton 3.16-6 beta now available for fun times.

Now that 2018 is coming to a close, let’s go over what’s happened this year. It’s been incredibly interesting to follow, things haven’t been this lively for some time.

The developer of VK9, another rather interesting compatibility layer has advanced further with the announcement of another completed milestone.

The Valve-funded DXVK project, which kicks over D3D11 and D3D10 to Vulkan for use with Wine has another fresh brew available.

The day I'm sure many have waited for has arrived, a new Steam Play beta has been officially released today which includes the important FAudio project. On top of that, even more titles have entered the Steam Play whitelist.

News in the last week, heck, in the last few weeks and months have the potential to shake up the games industry significantly. It certainly may have huge repercussions for Linux gaming. It’s also been a little hard to follow sometimes, so I decided to explain many of the developments of the past few months and put them within an easy-to-understand context.

Finally, after waiting for a few months NVIDIA has released a new mainline driver which includes Transform Feedback support.

For those of you using Intel and AMD (and some older NVIDIA cards) Mesa 18.3.0 was officially released today.

After NVIDIA updated their beta Vulkan drivers recently, it came with a pretty big issue they've now corrected.

For those interested, NVIDIA have now updated their special Vulkan beta drivers with 415.18.02 so they're a little less behind.

If it wasn't enough that a new version of DXVK has been released, Wine itself also recently released the latest development build.

Take a little Wine, sprinkle over some Vulkan and you get DXVK. Part of what makes Steam Play do its magic, it has another fresh release out today.
