D3D10/11 to Vulkan translation layer DXVK 1.4.6 released
3 December 2019 at 4:58 pm UTC
Lol, the ETS2 update with d3d11 support was released today, and there's already a DXVK release with fixes for it :D

I've been running the native version of ETS2 but it won't start after the latest update.
Valve has an Armistice Sale and Singles Day sale on Steam with some good Linux games cheap

Quoting: EhvisIs there any difference in content/rendering between DX11 and DX12 version? Since the port was mentioned to be based on the latter.

Apart from the RTX stuff, I don't think so.
The Children's Commissioner in England has called on the government to class loot boxes as gambling

Quoting: fagnerlnHERE WE GO AGAIN...

We don't need the government controlling even more our lives, the parents should moderate what their children are using.

It's clearly not been working up until now, and from my perspective as an adult without any children of my own, these things are still ruining games, as we have seen countless times in so called "AAA" games that have been more or less designed from the ground and up around loot boxes, predatory monetization and gambling practices, which by the way can be hazardous to some adults as well, not just children. Those games are not better for it. As games they are objectively worse regardless whether one jumps into the micro-transaction part of the game or stays out of it. The game industry has had years to fix this issue and they have failed spectacularly. Only recent media coverage and government interest has had a bit of positive effect, but it's still not enough. New legislation is needed, and the game industry brought it on themselves.

Edit: Fixed a stupid typo

Nice. I agree with others here though in that DE:MD is the one that really needs this sort of enhancement.
Prison Architect updated with more free content, needs a fix for it running on Linux

Launched fine without the workaround for me on an up to date Debian Sid machine.

Edit: Nevermind. This time it didn't work, despite running fine earlier today.
Just some of the games coming to Linux in 2019, the September edition

Still waiting for SotTR, and that's pretty much all I care about.
Borderlands 2 with the latest DLC would be nice too.
A little look over ProtonDB reports for Steam Play in August 2019

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: BrisseI'm playing the 2013 HD Remaster through Proton without any problems. Before Proton, when I used Wine, I had to bypass the launcher to get it to work, but in recent versions of Proton even the launcher works.
Oh, the launcher works now? I had to bypass it when I first tried getting the game to run back when Proton first came out. Am I missing out on anything by continuing to bypass it?

Not really. Not once have I used the launcher for anything else than clicking "Play" :)

Quoting: PhiladelphusI'm really confused seeing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on there

It's the predecessor, not the sequel. The first one already has a Definitive Edition. The second one has an 'HD Remaster', but is getting a Definitive Edition as well in the future. Yes, it's a bit confusing :)
Quoting: Liam DaweThis, the key is the "(2013)" in the name.
Whoops! Reading comprehension failure there. :D Yeah, I have the AoE II HD Remaster, and am looking forward to the Definitive Edition for it—at least now I can go back to hoping that that will work with Proton! :)

Going where no Steam Play has gone before with Elite Dangerous

I bought ED a long time ago, at a time when I was still a flight sim enthusiast (DCS, F4 BMS, MS:FS etc.) and had a full flight sim setup with HOTAS, pedals and TrackIR. My interest in flight sims started dwindling and eventually I sold all my hardware and shortly after I ditched Windows too. I never got to play much of ED before that, but now that it works in Proton I might give it another go. How well does it work with an Xbone-controller or mouse and keyboard? Is it still worth getting into even without all that HOTAS gear?
