Quoting: fedotixQuestion : the PS3 games are available where ? Can we purchase PS3 games then play with the emulator ??

You have to purchase the retail copies and rip them (they are bluray, not sure how easy they are to rip though, but it's definitely possible) or find a way to copy digital versions of the game somehow. I'm not sure if you need to technically own the PS3 too, as it was with PS2 emulator (to legally own bios firmware), as it depends whether the emulator needs the bios blob to run.

After I did some testing, guess I'll repost what I originally posted on ProtonDB, for posterity:

Seems 3.16-5 is still not added to ProtonDB - quite a few games got some progress, including Elite: Dangerous (some, but not all fixes were merged), Dead Rising 3 and possiblyt others having audio now (but crashes), UE games not needing winetricks for audio to work properly (Red Orchestra 2 for example), 3D Mark starting (but can't get the actual tests to run), Just Survive and Just Survive Test Server launcher starting (but servers are dead) and my wife can play Dysan: The Shapeshifter now

Quoting: GuestOnly unknown games in the whitelist, that’s disappointing.

Puzzle Agent 2, Stronghold HD and Botanicula are old, but not that unknown too.

Great to see the FAudio finally there though!

The funny part is that the tablet boot screen looks like Linux booting :)

It's strange really, as 11 Bit Studios got a lecture in Game Industry Conference about Linux gaming and one person that's been working on their games is really passionate about gaming on Linux (pun intended), being there for 10 years IIRC.

The pages were deleted in favor of categories, citing WP:INDISCRIMINATE as a reason, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_games_with_Vulkan_support for more info.

But honestly, those lists weren't in great shape in the first place. I used to update the Vulkan list, trying to find reliable sources, but after I stopped there was little to no quality control afterwards – some game with only announced Vulkan renderer or open source ports of old games got removed before, but then some stayed or got added afterwards. Similar story to DX12 games.

Aside from Wikipedia, you can search PCGamingWiki by properties: Vulkan, Direct3D – they are far from being complete, but you the info is easy to add to appropriate pages.

Quoting: Colombocan anyone give me background to what was going there? Why they had to make a new company?

I don't know what the background is, but the Uber Entertainment had a rough time when they decided to close off their Uberent framework due to GDPR, which resulted in two games being closed – their SuperMNC and 3rd party Loadout, so it might be somewhat related.

Still, good to know that Planetary Annihilation is going on just fine.

Quoting: Lolo01I've dropped my GTX970 for a RX570. I've got improved performances in some games with less powerful GPU.
I bet all my games will run better in a few months.

Haha, I wasn't so brave, but just today I changed my GTX960 4G for RX580 8G (got the 960 as a replacement for dying 650Ti for a wife, also on Linux). It really boost my (already high in the first place) confidence of a good decision by taking an AMD card instead of going for (cheaper, miners… :() NVIDIA :). Plus if the Freesync lands in the kernel drivers sooner than later (which I think is the case), it will be a really nice bonus if I ever want to upgrade my monitor :P.
