I tried to use this tool to run games at a higher res then my monitor and scale it down and while it did work it's way too inefficient. Team Fortress 2 worked but my fps went from 1000 fps to 10 fps :D

They're dropping mac and linux because they're moving to dx11? But they were already using a translation layer for dx9->gl so why couldn't they have just moved to DXVK to translate from dx11->vk?

Quoting: AsciiWolfDoes Lutris support VKD3D?
Yes, VKD3D is built into wine so Lutris doesn't need to add special support like with DXVK and D9VK

Quoting: scaineI honestly thought Stadia was just a glorified Steam Link that worked over the internet? So while the box you buy might be Linux-based, I always assumed there would simply be a farm of PCs running Windows in a datacentre somewhere and you tapped into that resource to place your game.

It feels like an ecological nightmare to be honest. And the implications for bandwidth are horrific.

No support for this from me. I realise that I'm not their target demographic, but... nope. No interest.

Edit: Ecological piece seems pretty legit actually: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/cjivzb/for_those_wondering_if_googles_stadia_will_impact]

The stadia server farm is confirmed to run on linux and all games will use vulkan

Quoting: callciferImagine a business seeking profits, the horror!
So? Obviously corporations exist to make a profit but that fact doesn't make their actions infallible. That's like a company dumping waste into the ocean and someone defending them with "They're just doing that to maximize profit" like duh of course but their profit-driven motive doesn't excuse their actions from criticism.

Looking forward to the release. It looks more inspired by Persona 5 then Persona 3 judging by the graphic design and gameplay style.

Quoting: marcusTacoma does sadly not come with a steam key.
It instead comes DRM-Free which is arguably even better.

Quoting: ShmerlIt's just a Tegra tablet with some Nintendo DRM mess attached. So once DRM is broken, Linux should be runnable :)
Can we stop all this talk of DRM on just about every topic that's posted? (not pointing the finger, I mean in general)
Scrolling down through the posts only to see DRM being talked about instead of the actual headline, is getting...well, a bit boring and disappointing.
Serious gamer's are not all that bothered about DRM anyway, it's all about playing and enjoying the game, so it's pointless bringing it up all the time.
There is a forum for that kind of topic.
Look, i agree that DRM pretty much has nothing to do with this article but DRM is an issue worth discussing. It isn't pointless when the DRM obstructs you from playing the game properly which you rightfully bought. I don't know what you're getting at with this "serious gamer" idea you've made. If anything, being more serious about games means you would care more about the issues that plague the industry.

Wine 3.5 is out with their own Vulkan loader and plenty of fixes for games

Quoting: GuestA tutorial for installing DXVK on Lutris would be great. I've tried it but im dumb.
