Yes and if we had that Vulkan version on PC Windows it would be a literal game changer. Refer to DOOM on how well it works via Vulkan on wine.

If they could port over Skyrim Special Edition then it would be AMAZE BALLS! But I'm pretty sure Bethesda would outright say NO in a very loud and angry voice. Bethesda is kinda anti-Linux....

I suspect once the AMD and NVIDIA (Mostly AMD) driver situation settles and they get to a point where hardware performs nicely and also works with anything you toss it, THEN we might see some AAA titles get more attention like Witcher3.

And don't try to tell me AMD's confusing quad-ripple driver option (choice has its downside) is rock solid now, its not for allot of hardware as reported not long ago. The NVIDIA drivers could be made to install ALLOT easier also, to eliminate the dreaded black-screen issues (and need for X.org to be disabled) that can still occur when installing them manually (installing via distro driver selection is generally safer!).

AND THEN we need to wait until VEGA comes out so AMD users can actually have hardware to play these new games at 4k@60fps :p

I would like to see the below games ported over:
Hello Feral? you there? you want loads of money for a port >>> (from sales)

The Witcher 3
Skyrim SE
Fallout 4
GTA 5

If these games got ported over to work well (wrapping DX11 into Vulkan API would yield best results!), it would change Linux gaming landscape forever! But I suspect it will never happen as the developers of these games have no heart for Linux in general :(

Yeah I have this game, the max damage release was fine and it was free for me so thats ok. But they really had no excuse to not release an experimental Linux version of the game given they had Unity3D as the engine and from my understanding they had updated it to the newer version also, so Linux compatibility should have been a easier move for them.

There is NO WAY that it would cost 200k to make a Linux version of this game given the engine used! So yes I think the developer lied and has turned its back on Linux supporters, don't give them a cent more!

I'm pretty happy with my Manjaro KDE desktop. Thought I have not been using it much lately(SSE/FO4 etc.), it still works without issues.

Your questions will NEVER be answered because %99.9 of all questions are bombardments of Half-Life3 and when it's coming out, Gabe doesn't need to think to answer these, and people keep asking them and destroying opportunities for REAL QUESTIONS to be answered. They should just auto block all half-life questions and focus on REAL questions!

Ok I will get the deluxe edition of mankind for $29. Time to power up Manjaro, its been collecting dust due to me playing FO4 allot lately.

If a game requires special compat overrides and such, the developers need to be contacted by Valve to alter the launcher for those running MESA for the time being. People really shouldn't need to get special magic commands setup in order to run games, its annoying and majority of people will NOT know about them.

Just keep in mind with such a list you need to specify the exact Mesa build version (and LLVM obviously) along with some basic system/os information because it seems some games work on older MESA vs Newer at varying times during its development which is likely to cause some confusion...

Wish I could contribute to a 'LIST' report but no AMD card atm (waiting for VEGA).

I do hope they make XCOM3 terror from the depth where its the winning scenario from XCOM1.

The Aliens had a awful lot going on underwater and I know XCOM2 hinted at terror from the depth in its ending, so perhaps XCOM3 will be a continuation, but hopefully we'll get some sort of expanded base building. (multiple bases would be nice).
