A fresh DXVK release is out with fixes for NVIDIA, RADV and multiple game improvements

Really cool part is, WoW works with it already since they implemented ID3D10Device in dxvk, which is cool. Still having graphics glitches on RADV, which seems to be a driver issue, but I'd be interested in actual performance there. On OpenGL on a RX 460 and on my GTX1080 I had real performance issues. Even on the old 1.12.1 client I do max at 30 FPS - that client is almost 12 years old.
I'd like to play on classic servers once released, since that's some way to go there it seems, I probably get lucky and can make use of dxvk by then .. considering the progress made. Will be interesting to see if there is a positive performance impact.

And back to the wishlist with that one. Already looks quite fine enough, the question will be the RPG and story part. There are not many great RPGs out for Linux, and in general there are few who pulled off making really good RPGs, it's hard to have a story fix people into a world leading them on. We'll see.
The Steam Hardware Survey had some flaw causing cyber cafes to be over-counting users

So they do have measures to only survey us once a year?
Interesting. Then soon(tm) I should get another survey (while I got 3 on windows in the past year, so something certainly is not working there...)

Looks like you can now run Linux on the Nintendo Switch

Nice, I wanted a Switch and a small Tablet to surf on the balcony instead of my phone. I guess I will only get a switch only now ;-).
Jupiter Hell, the modern turn-based sci-fi roguelike is going with Vulkan

Haha, gotta' check those streams. I like when others show their code, and the way they work. I use to be very concerned about cleaning up my mess (because most starts out with can I do it? and ends up being useful requiering refactoring).

Quoting: GuestBeen watching a few of the dev streams for this game i always pick on him about cleaning up his code it's a good time just look up epyoncf on twitch if you want to watch them make jupiter hell
i'm glad he made this decision since i remember him talking about openGL on mac being basically archaic and bad
looking forward to playing this game for sure

First impact of MoltenVK being free. It made the use of Vulkan more viable due to having all platforms on board. Good stuff, and that one goes to Valve.
Sadly, not my kind of game though. But I hope the best for them, the devs seem pretty open, and I like that.

Rise of the Tomb Raider has a new opt-in beta to help with NVIDIA issues

Those guys really love us. It's so nice that they bring high quality AAA ports and sort out issues later if they exist - they care.
I don't like Tomb Raider, but I am somehow in love with Shadow of Mordor, Mad Max and other ports by them. Though, I still consider Deus Ex unplayable due to the endless loading and performance issues on my hardware (would have loved that one to get Vulkan, but we know future ports very likely will all be Vulkan). They seem to have invested a lot into the vulkan backend of their porting layer (most likely doing the same as Croteam, interfacing/abstracting other APIs to Vulkan, which is a lot of work to get it right). Though, not possible for Feral, Croteam seems to be on a Vulkan-only path replacing the middle layers, according to their statements at least.
By now I wished there was more push vor Vulkan in the game industry. For now, it seems we are mostly still with dx11 and dx12.

On the first look really PoE, but the thing with the world reacting more on actions sounds refreshing.
Not kickstarting though, too much bad experience with linux ports. Maybe when some kind of beta comes out and is playable with feature parity (that one i learned from SotA, still no map, still not optimized, and buggy as hell).

Quoting: razing32Jokes aside the game looks nice , reminds me of Populous from 1999.

uhh... early access. Not fond of early access games, but this one is interesting. 880 AD in England is my favorite historical period too.
Anyone of those who bought it - does it work in Mesa / AMDGPU? I'll make my choice if I buy it early access or not based upon that.
