Quoting: massatt212im using Steam Mesa ACO Driver when i install kernal 5.1 im getting really bad performance. can some one tell me if im doing something wrong when updating Kernel

ACO compiler is a still in the early stages and can cause instability and poor performance in some cases.

I had to revert back to normal mesa because I was experiencing issues with chrome. Hope to test it again in a few months once it's had more work done it.

I wonder if they're doing a Stadia build targeting Vulkan + Linux, if so it would make sense to release a native version on Steam as well. We can hope anyway =).

Reading another article about DX12 and possibly supporting google Stadia, it makes me hopeful there will be a Vulkan port of DL2 and if not a native Linux version it should run quite well with Proton. Ive not tested any DX12 games in wine, but I'm hopeful that worst comes to the worst that performs well in Proton too.

Quoting: F.Ultra

Quoting: F.UltraThe inclusion of DXVK 1.1.1 is kind of a bummer since it requires VK_EXT_host_query_reset without plummeting performance in some games and that is not available in any of the stable versions of Mesa yet.

For me Vampyr just took a nose dive performance wise when Steam updated Proton to 4.2-4 today.

I've decided to stay on mesa-git. For the most part it's been stable and while dxvk/d9vk etc are being developed it works best with them. Maybe when these projects mature and settle down stable will be a good option, but for right now..

Do you compile yourself? I used to be on the Padoka unstable PPA but was burned for far too many times when his scripts released some binaries when others failed which lead to weeks without X on some occasions.

One could have hoped that DXVK would have kept the old code path when it detects that the necessary extension is not found and then remove that code path altogether once it's been in mesa stable for some time but I guess that it was too cumbersome.

I use Arch, there are mesa-git in the AUR that would allow me to compile it easily. But I prefer to use the unofficial mesa-git repo that is very well maintained.
I have had the odd niggling issues in the past with the development builds, but not for at least a year.. Atleast that I remember. If I ever do run into issues... Thats what the downgrade tool is for, I just revert back to an earlier working version.

Quoting: KrovikanHello:
Seems all OK but I am worried by this note of Joshua:

"Please do not use wine's d3d9x or d3dcompiler with d9vk"

I need to do something more apart of the setup_dxvk install?

Thanks in advance.

Starcraft 2 works pretty well, but it has a few bugs still left to iron out. I need to open a bug report and do some traces, just haven't got around to it.

I understand them becoming epic store exclusive for future titles. But they surely can't remove rocket league from steam completely. This is anti consumer and frankly I'm completely sick of Epic and their bullsh*t. They aren't the studio I used to love. They've become a monstrosity.

Also to complicate things further codeweavers have their own implementation of Vulkan backend for wine in development. So many projects all trying to do the same thing, its a shame we can't focus our energy on the best solution.

Quoting: cookiEoverdoseDoes someone know a comparable simple gui app for cpu fan profiles?

I use one on my arch system. Can't remember the name right now. It might be fancontrol-gui
