Quake 2 now has real-time path tracing with Vulkan
18 January 2019 at 2:22 pm UTC
I couldn't compile this.
Anyway, does it work only on Nvidia RTX cards?

Quoting: andy155Can not use the computer in the lobby. you?
Me too, I forgot about that. Is this a Wine-exclusive bug?

QuoteResident Evil 2 Demo: Fixed crash on start.
Does that mean RE2 will be playable in Wine+DXVK too? Or RE7? For a moment I had a sinful thought about installing Windows 7 to play it. RE2 demo works fine on my computer except it thinks my graphics card (GTX 1060) has 0 MB VRAM. No rendering glitches were spotted.

I heard the Windows version has that 0 MB issue too.
I watched Youtube, and it looks like there is a problem with video files playing. When I got the key of spades and returned to the hall, it supposed to be some video, but all I got was a black screen I couldn't leave. I restarted the game, but I reached the time limit soon, and again, just a black screen.

One more problem I had: and the very beginning, in the hall, if I try to use the laptop there, all game prompts disappear, and I still can control Leon but cannot pause the game, open the inventory, doors, etc.
Epic and Improbable are taking advantage of Unity with the SpatialOS debacle, seems a little planned

So, Epic Games added SpatialOS to this list: https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/1079575301485723648

8 GB is fine today, but for FullHD resolution. For 4k and for future games you'll definitely want as much VRAM as possible. I'd rather choose this over Nvidia's 8 GB. Also, raytracing is just another marketing bullshit by Nvidia.

It works fine with Wine Staging.

Quoting: kuhpunktThere was a 3 month difference between Elder Scrolls Online launching on Bethesda.net and Steam. Does it mean Fallout 76 will end up on Steam? No. But there is precedent with 2 games.
Quake Champions and TESO are online-only games, they must have big player bases, so Bethesda had to release them on Steam. Maybe Fallout 76 will appear on Steam for the same reason (but who would buy it there and not refund?) but I don't think Rage 2 and Doom Eternal will. Valve lowered their share from 30% to 20% though for big games, maybe Bethesda would find it more profitable than avoiding Steam.
Quoting: dannielloMax Payne for example - Windows XP only.
Actually, Max Payne is glitchy even on XP (that infamous sound problem), it works fine only on Windows 2000 (and Linux lol), but with a community patch it runs without any problems on Win7 and 8 too.

Quoting: kuhpunktWe just don't know if it's a permanent thing. If sales will be crap on their own store they might see themselves in a position where they "have" to go to Steam to reach the people over there.
I don't think Fallout 76 has good sales, but still it's not on Steam. Many EA games failed but didn't go to Steam. We all know what publishers say when their games get poor sales: "should have used more DRM, will do in the future." They never say that it's because their games are crap or noone wants to use their stupid launchers.

Quoting: kuhpunktWell, we don't know that yet. Quake Champions was once a Bethesda Launcher only title and later came to Steam. So it's possible they will still use Steam at a later date. If not... well... they won't be seeing any of my money.
Rage 2 is available for pre-order on https://bethesda.net/en/game/rage2 where there are logos of Xbox, PS and Bethesda launcher only, no Steam. No Steam store pages as well. Fallout 76 is not on Steam too. I think it's obvious that Bethesda have left Steam.

Quoting: mylkais there a way to sort protondb by release date?
rage 2 uses same engine as just cause 4 and should also work with proton
doom eternal should be the same as doom and work with proton
These games won't be sold on Steam, so no Proton for them. I'm sure Bethesda will try to shove as much DRM into them as they can, and it could prevent from running in Wine.
Quoting: 14There is a solution to Ubisoft. It's called PS4. IMO, it's worth it if that's the last thing holding you to Windows. There are a few exclusives that are really excellent as well, like Uncharted, Bloodborne, and The Last of Us that will never come to PC.
I'd rather play on Windows than get a console. Linux is all about freedom, and you have much much less freedom when using PS4 than Windows PC. And exclusives are bad for gaming. People have to buy a gaming device because there are games which aren't available elsewhere, not because said device is better than others. Paid online, more expensive games, worse graphics and performance, and for what? For those clones of Tomb Raider and Dark Souls?
