Quoting: stud68Maybe get Netflix in 4k with this.
I hate having to switch over to the TV to watch 4k.

i think thats some DRM thing, which also wont be available on linux with edge
i dont need the 4K, but surround sound... would be nice to have both on linux desktop

Proton GE has another new release out with patches for GTA V and lots of updates
5 November 2019 at 12:17 pm UTC

Quoting: STiATI'll use GE for now. I've issues that the dxvk and d9vk are pretty damn old in Proton (at least judging what it tells with DXVK_HUD=full, the versions are ancient in 4.11-7, especially for d9vk compared to the development speed there).

It even shows dxvk 0.99 for me for some reason in 4.11-7, which should not be the case.

maybe deinstall proton and reinstall it again. something is very wrong

DXVK was updated to 1.4.2 and D9VK to 0.22

Quoting: mylkaanyone tried it with postal 4? does it fix the videos?
Postal 4 works with regular Proton if the mfplat fix is done.

that wasnt my question. everyone can unzip a file. i would be much easier, than everything else

Quoting: mylkaas far as i know stadia games dont even use vulkan for windows
i hope this will change soon, or stadia is very useless for linux gaming

Stadia doesn't run Windows on the game streaming servers. They run Debian Linux.

i know, but vulkan does and games like destiny 2 use dx on windows, even if they need vulkan on stadia

Of course it does, AAA games such as this have been in development for many years before Google even announced Stadia and there is just no way that a company like Bungie would change their entire engine from DX to Vulkan in the last weeks of release. Also the XBox version is probably their main release anyway this being Bungie after all.

weeks?
stadia was announced 7 months ago and they had some games to show, so some developers already had a dev kit back then
plenty of time to use vulkan if you ask me

Modifying an entire engine, reworking all the shaders that go into it, getting familiar with a new API, all while trying to continue work on the original game, and any other games in the pipeline....even 7 months is a very short time for that.
And yes, some companies have known about this for a lot longer, and have been working at getting their games Vulkan ready during that time. There's been an immense effort poured into getting some games to work - and generally only very few developers within any given company doing it.
Just takes longer than most people might otherwise think, that's all.

destiny 2 comes with stadia.... so they have to increase their vulkan skills and they have to make their engine vulkan ready anyways
also maintaining would be a lot easier, if stadia and windows have the same API... this is a game for years, not some single player game you finish in 1 week

so i stick with my argument. vulkan would have been the better choice...

Quoting: DesumOh goodie. The ultimate DRM and censorship scheme. I'm so excited this is being warmly received because the servers happen to be running on Linux.
