All aboard the hype train, as Feral Interactive are setting off with a new native Linux game that's being teased on their port radar.
For their Tweet:
5PM on a Friday, we're getting ready for the
#BankHolidayWeekend to start, and the Feral Radar decides to kick into life with a new blip for macOS and Linux. Well, whatever. We'll fix that rusty old thing on Tuesday. Okay, bye!
Here it is:
"Working with fire and steel" huh—anyone got any thoughts? I have a lot that come to mind, but I don't think I've ever managed to guess a single one of them correctly, they're always a damn good surprise.
Really great to see more coming from Feral, I sure do hope they have more on the way too. They're a company that has supported Linux really well for a long time now, both in terms of games and wider community efforts.
What a week!

Quoting: EikeWhat are you doing with games? Debugging them just for fun or professional?Debugging them so that they run on DXVK. And in case of Frostpunk, that one one silly D3D9 frame was causing issues because the wined3d swap chain was interfering with the Vulkan swap chain created by DXVK, which required a workaround.

Quoting: RoosterAs far as I know, you can't play Skyrim using Proton yet. Or am I wrong?According to the compatibility chart, you should be able to play the original but not the Special Edition.

Could it be Kingdom Come Deliverance? I hope so.

Quoting: tuubiBoth versions work in Wine, but I don't have any voice sounds there. I tried the Special Edition with Proton, still the same problem. Actually, the SE works even better then the original Skyrim. Better performance, better graphics, has controller support.Quoting: RoosterAs far as I know, you can't play Skyrim using Proton yet.

Quoting: GuestWhy would that be the case? That's not a stopping in the least.
For all intents and purposes the stream-output fuctionality can be emulated easily and it's not really needed by Vulkan.
Metal doesn't even has geometrt or (proper) tessellation shader support, but that has never been a blocker ;)
I'm just guessing based on the game engine and how DXVK progresses, I don't know the actual reasons what Feral is facing and I don't have the technical knowledge to say anything useful regarding implementation details. I could be very wrong.
Would you mind creating a PR to emulate stream-output functionality for DXVK? ;)

Quoting: ageresIn my case I have no voices on either version of Skyrim & exiting brings my system to a grinding halt. Looks good when it's working though, so there is hope.Quoting: tuubiBoth versions work in Wine, but I don't have any voice sounds there.

Quoting: elmapuli have no clue, but as much as this "guess the game" game is fun, i think they should stop making it now that valve announced proton.
just think about it, if an game start to working on linux before they finish their port, many people will buy it before the game even get ported.
if they dont even announce what they are porting, many people will start troubleshooting it on wine, as if there isnt tomorrow (as if the game would never be ported otherwise)
so when they finish the port, they may earn almost nothing!
Don't quote me on this, but I believe I've read on Feral's Twitter that if you buy a game that was announced but not released by Feral, and you do it from a Linux-machine, they still get their cut, as long as you avoid playing it on a Windows-machine within the first two weeks.
