Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeSeeing the bug fix for dolphin emulator got me wondering what would be the reason to use it over the native build, I'm assuming to use the direct x api but now just makes me wonder which games work better on it because vulkan on native seems to work great on the games I've tested

You would have to ask the bug reporter exactly why, but one reason to test FLOSS Windows applications with Wine is that it's much easier to see how they use a specific API. Source code is available, so you can skip the debugger.

In this case Dolphin seems to have exposed a limitation in the Windows.Gaming.Input API in Wine.

Tried out #DRIVE Rally

Pros: Linux native. Super cute graphics. Arnold Schwarzenegger is your co-driver!
Cons: Quite lackluster sound effects. Gameplay is too Sega Rally arcade for my taste.

Thanks for the suggestion! This is right up my alley. Demo available too!

Lots of fun stuff to look forward to! Thanks for the article pleasereadthemanual!

I'll probably try it every once in a while until it becomes the default. The nice thing about running separate prefixes is that you can turn the Wayland driver on for specific things, where it starts working sooner, and keep using the X11 driver for the rest.

Quoting: dirkdierickxyeah, you missed what made the game worth playing, the shooter action parts are not that special at all, the story is. completely marketed wrong. action junkies will wonder what all the fuss is about, and gamers that like a good story will skip it because it looks like an action game.

Sorry! Guess I should have planted a smiley at the end. It was a joke

But I'm sure there are people who did skip the story and robbed themselves of a fantastic experince.

Quoting: slaapliedjeOn the bright side of that, this would be ran via Wine, which itself is sort of sanboxed in ways where you'd still have a separate folder structure that particular install is only aware of. So the most that would be trashed is the install directory of that particular game.

I think Proton still maps Z: to / for game prefixes. I would assume Windows malware would happily make a target of that.

There was going to be a new Deus Ex?

It was a bit overrated i felt. Then again, I skipped all the cut scenes and had the audio muted - maybe I missed something?
