The Vulkan-based compatibility layer for D3D 11 and Wine 'DXVK' has a new release out
15 April 2018 at 12:24 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdaweI doubt it's that far off being included directly in Wine.
It will get never into Wine, because DXVK is mostly written in C++ and the Wine project only accepts C code. Sorry to burst your bubble :)

We've scheduled two more Rocket League tournaments, here's the details

1:1 isn't so much fun. Would love to see a 2:2 tournament, 3:3 could be probably hard to fill.

Cyril was faster.

Factorio will have a price increase this month and leave Early Access soon

The game is worth 60€, so even 30€ is still a bargain and well deserved. Most people I know and play Factorio have high 3 digit hours of playtimes on it. Me included :)

Wine 3.5 is out with their own Vulkan loader and plenty of fixes for games
31 March 2018 at 5:45 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestSorry to sound dumb, but how do I enable this Vulkan-Loader?
You don't, it is enabled by default since Wine 3.5.

However, I found out that I've had to delete the Windows folder from my previous generated Wineprefix to have it work. Probably some previous created libraries don't work together with Wine 3.5 and delete the whole Windows folder is the easiest way.

If you have added any registry keys before (Wine-Vulkan), you should remove those as well. Those aren't needed with Wine 3.5 and might create conflicts.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun beta patch dramatically improves performance and load times
23 February 2018 at 9:29 am UTC

Runs absolutely great now, with never lower than 180FPS! Now the game will be more fun as it was already.

Mimimi promised a performance patch after the console release and they have delivered. But it took a long time, the game was released over a year ago.

AMD's first Ryzen Desktop APUs with Vega graphics are now available

The Ryzen 3 uses thermal paste (like Intel does on all their CPUs) instead of solder. With the boxed cooler, it will get up to incredible 83°C in Prime (so without even using the iGPU). But granted, it's just $99 before taxes, so this is to keep it that low in price.

But according to this test (German | Google Translate link it's wiping the floor with the Intel CPU (especially with the iGPU).

Though, they were not able to get Ubuntu 17.10 with Kernel 4.15 to boot with the Raven Ridge.

Yes, you even have an overlay to see how good, or bad, the attractiveness is.
