PS2 emulator PCSX2 adds in Vulkan API support

This is gonna be an exciting release. PS1 and PS2 are my fav consoles. I regret not buying any original PS1 games back when they were common and prices weren't through the roof. However I did keep a few PS2 rpg's for emulator use.

DOOMED: Demons of the Nether turns Minecraft into modern DOOM

And on that day DooMCraft was born. Cool project.

Never had the patience for Minecraft. I tried Minetest but got bored fast.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance to get a Steam release and for Linux too

I regret not buying it for PS2 when it got released. To see it now coming to PC, and Linux too? That's a must have.

I think you used to have to set VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr (or dxr11) to enable it in VKD3D?

Might want to check the logs from Wine/VKD3D if that doesn't work.

Thank you, that was it. I used the 'dxr11' option.

For anyone curious how Control looks and performs with RT on at max details here's a couple of screenshots:

Mesa 21.3 drivers out, plus NVIDIA 470.62.12 Vulkan Beta for Linux

Any AMD user managed to get ray tracing working? Speaking of Control in specific.

Steps I've taken so far:

- Compiled Mesa 21.3.0
- Downloaded VKD3D-Proton
- Made sure the game is running DX12 not DX11 (I've even renamed the DX11 exe to make sure it doesn't launch it).
- Running recent Wine (6.19) with a clean prefix.
- Overrides used "d3d12.dll and "d3dcompiler_47".
- Wine Prefix is set to 'Windows 10'
- "export RADV_PERFTEST=rt" is also enabled.

Despite all that, the Ray Tracing option is grayed out and I'm at a loss what I could be missing.

Aside from that, everything is working as expected with OpenGL and DXVK.

Any help would be appreciated :)

The TUXEDO Nano Pro is a powerhouse in a tiny box

€640 for entry level is a steep price. With that amount you can get a Deskmini X300 with a desktop 5600G CPU which makes for a much faster mini PC.

I've been in a mood for ARPG's lately and this might just be the excuse to play Diablo again

Star Labs introduce the small and mighty StarLite Mk IV

This looks like the kind of 11" laptop I've been looking for to replace my old one.

There is a tiny bit of problem and it's not not the price, but the ram. It doesnt seem to be upgradable and thats a deal breaker for me.

GOG removes HITMAN after customer backlash over online features

Glad they made the right choice. Requiring online access to access additional features in a single player game is a silly idea. As for the devs, not only they shot themselves in the foot with this one due to lost sales. But if I'm not mistaken, even the 2 sequels work in a similar way which bars them from being released on GOG in the future unless they make them work offline (which I don't see them doing).

GOG celebrates 13 years with Elvira I & II, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and a sale

Can confirm Blood Omen is running fine in Wine, the GOG release is using some sort of DX Wrapper.
