Windows compatibility layer Wine v8.0 has a first Release Candidate out

Quoting: KlaasThat's my understanding as well. If dxvk dlls are used the game should behave like a Vulkan game inside wine.

Yeah, I'm getting less and less sure about my statement. I'll make a full retraction.

Quoting: mrdeathjrat simple seek affects winevulkan but if you have dxvk in theory must be save

~~As I understand it, this regression is in winevulkan. It affects Windows games that uses Vulkan natively such as DOOM and the later Wolfensteins.~~

Quoting: TermyI'm not sure how you compiled the first chart in this article and can't find another statistic of that sort, but i would be really surprised if that curve didn't go down in the last months/years.

There were 1380 Linux native games released (so far) on Steam in 2022.

In 2021 there were 1222, and in 2020 1104.

SteamDB is very handy for these searches!

EVERSPACE 2 developer gets a 1.65 million Euro grant from the German federal parliament

Quoting: pbFrom the list, I only ever heard of a few and only because they are sequels. Also what the hell is "codename mashed potato" at #5?

I'm still working on improving my German, but from what I gather from the bottom text this list contains working titles and project codenames too.

Intel using DXVK (part of Steam Proton) for their Windows Arc GPU DX 9 drivers

Remember, this is a project that was deemed a “a waste of time”. The developer was told they “couldn’t do it and should work on something else”.

Proton 7.0-5 out now for Steam Deck & Linux desktop, 14 newly playable games

Quoting: wolfyrionMost of the games are playable now thanks to Valve but today I wanted to play catherine classic on Steamdeck but I was not able to - freezing and loading screen when starting a lvl :(

https://store.steampowered.com/app/893180/Catherine_Classic/

I have tried it on the PC as well and the same thing...

Now I have to find a way to make it work ....

Any ideas???

Video issues. It seems to be broken both on Proton and with vanilla Wine.

There's a workaround described here. Falling back to an older Proton release and (I assume) using mf-install to add the needed mfplat dlls.

Proton 7.0-5 out now for Steam Deck & Linux desktop, 14 newly playable games

Quoting: MinuxBy the way, now that they released this version... I've read a bit about it, but what would be exactly the difference between Proton Experimental and Proton 7.0-5? Could someone elaborate a bit about it? What pros and cons for each version? Which one would you recommend?

If you follow the link to the changelog in the article, there's an overview of the differences between Experimental and 7.0-5.

The biggest changes are probably that Experimental ships with much newer releases of dxvk and vkd3d-proton but have higher driver requirements.
