It's really amazing how WINE has progressed from "that nerd tool that can make ancient games run on Linux, with a lot of tinkering and a healthy portion of luck" to "will run pretty much anything in Linux, no matter what" in about just one year.

I followed WINE for a long, long time, and I have never considered it an alternative to dual-booting, until about that one year ago when the project seemed to have gone to warp speed all out of a sudden.

Not that I'm trying to undermine Wine 's progress, but it's DXVK that has been the major wine-gaming breakthrough, allowing us to play a lot of the modern titles (and at a lot better performance than wined3d).

I just hope VKD3D makes enough progress to run Cyberpunk 2077 when it releases (knowing CD Projekt, the game is probably going to be DX12 only).

I'm now playing The Witcher 3 via SteamPlay, and Cyberpunk 2077 is the game I'm most eagerly awaiting to play (being a huge fan of CD Project 's games, and the whole cyberpunk genre).

The witcher 3 works with vanilla Wine as well. Only the hair effect is buggy but hardly anyone uses it.

I Doubt CD Project are going to use DX12 That API is Garbage at its best and to risk so many bugs with it, they are gonna go Vulkan or prob DX11 and DX12, if they do DX 12 many people will have to upgrade to Windows 10 just to play.

It's highly unlikely that they'd go 'DX12 only', considering that they're releasing for the PS4 as well.

i dont understand why games like Dragon Ball FighterZ Dont work on Wine or Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite/Street Fighter V

Not owning any of those games I cant give you any direct help, but if you run the games the review the wine log to see what errors are thrown up. Will give you a clue to what features are missing and need to be implemented by the WINE team or if your lucky maybe its something you just need to install with winetricks.

Denuvo DRM protection is likely the culprit as Wine has no support for it.

Denuvo DRM protection is likely the culprit as Wine has no support for it.

You forgot to add on beginning of your statement: "I have no knowledge at all, but in my personal opinion". Denuvo DRM as itself could work via wine/Steam Proton.

Sorry for harsh statement, but this "cannot play Denuvo games on Linux" myth is very often spread on many places. It is not good advert for Linux gaming, because it consolidate opinion that "cannot play "fresh" Windows only AAA games on Linux".

Example of Denuvo protected games that are working on Linux:
Prey (2017) https://www.protondb.com/app/480490
Just Cause 4 (2018) https://www.protondb.com/app/517630

I looked more into this and you are right so thank you for correcting me. It seems that newer variants of Denuvo can run Windows games via Wine. The older variants including 4.9 and below can be problematic. Ultimately, it depends on which variant the developer bundled with the game and if other DRM or Anti-tamper technologies are involved (e.g. VMProtect).

True. The real problem is BattlEye DRM - as for today it is really issue that prevent start popular network games via wine.

I'm not developer but in my opinion that could be very hard topic. BattlEye it is anticheat system, so even if wine/proton could start it - user could be banned, because of using "suspicious software". I read somewhere that is is even banning legit Windows PUBG gamers only because in the system background was started some VM via VMware! So support for BattlEye would require some sort of agreement between Valve, BattlEye and game developer (like PUBG) to not ban such users. It is possible? Who knows...
