Quoting: BielFPsI'm probably the only guy on earth who can't install Proton GE, for some reason my Steam never detect the plugin.

But it's nice for those who can use it :)

I also had problems with Proton GE. In order to fix it i had to install steam-native, maybe it can fix your problem as well.

Quoting: keanHow is the driver support? I am planning to upgrade my CPU and GPU (1600 and 1060) to a 3600/3600x and 5600XT. I had issues in the past with my RX 480, but never with the 1060. Would you recommend switching back to AMD?

I wouldn't do that, the 5600XT had a very bad launch. You don't know if you will get the card previous vBios or the new one, with higher clocks. Also have in mind that the card only has 6Gig of ram and with the new console generation the vRAM requirements are going to increase, so at least search for an 8 gig card.
If i were you a would wait to see new launches, the card can hold a little longer and also the cpu.
Nvidia also has a new architecture, that will mean that previous generations will drop in price to clear inventory, so you can pick a 5700/2070 with the money of a 5600/2060.

Quoting: Guest"Running DX Games on Linux Over Vulkan"
(page 15 of https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/apis/Vulkan-1-2-Launch_Jan20.pdf)
If anyone doubts the importance of GNU/Linux and gaming, that they're calling out the explicit ability to run DX titles on "Linux" in Vulkan standards updates shows that the industry most definitely has an interest.

That's great, I expect to grow with time. Also i find interesting to see on page 4 Metro exodus using Vulkan. I hope it's for a linux port (the other two have a native one), not only for stadia...

Feral Interactive are asking what you want ported to Linux again
13 January 2020 at 8:31 pm UTC

My list is:
1) Cyberpunk 2077
2) Call of duty Modern Warfare 2019
3) Deadly Premonition (because yes)
4) StarCraft (all of them)
5) Age of empires 2 definitive edition

DXVK 1.5 released with D9VK merged in for D3D9 support, plus a statement on DXVK's future

What i find interesting is the Crysis 3 bug fix, anyone knows if the game uses AMD ags, or it's just the "regular" dx11 path it's just that bad?

Valve are asking for help testing "ACO", a new Mesa shader compiler for AMD graphics

This is impressive stuff! Now I am wondering when ACO is going to be use by radeon_si and if the devs are waiting for it to finish OpenGL 4.6

Quoting: chancho_zombiedownloading :D

I like the fact that know proton appears as a game update


i never installed proton as a tool and now i can select 3.16-8, but DXVK wasnt 1.0
after i installed proton as a toll its DXVK 1.0
why have they changed this?
What's the easiest way to check the version of the bundled DXVK?

Just put on the launch options of a dx11 game: DXVK_HUD=version %command%

You should see the version on the top left corner.

The first Steam Play update for this year is out with Proton 3.16-7 beta

Quoting: liamdaweApparently you can install Proton from the Tools menu in the Steam client, for those having issues above.

Damn, you beat me, i just edited my former comment.

They should add a button to manually check proton version and also force proton download...

EDIT:

It exists. When you click library you should see on the dropdown menu a section call tools. In there should be four entries for different versions of proton. From here it works like the games on steam. You can check the integrity of the files or just deleted to reinstall it.
