    Steam Proton - Run Windows Games with Wine

    I agree. I can't believe they have a Wiki to keep record of games that run. Yet another list of games... Looks like the Linux community is going to update that list according to reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/ DXVK games are great, but Wine also supports literally hundreds ( maybe...

    Steam Proton - Run Windows Games with Wine

    I wonder who is going to be testing all of the 30 thousand games on Steam with Proton? If its up to the community and scripts, this is going to end up neglected just like AppDB, PlayOnLinux and Lutris in the long run.

    NEW STEAM, Windows games, steamplay

    I added a post to the homepage as well. This is crazy! Why does Valve think Wine is worth supporting for Windows games? I think its a great move since Wine is so stable with several thousand games. I wonder if our guides are a source of inspiration for them?

    Steam Proton - Run Windows Games with Wine

    I'm really surprised that Valve wants to take this on! PlayOnLinux, Lutris and Crossover do a really good job as a front-end for Wine, but can Valve make it even easier or better? What can Valve provide that these front-ends don't already do for Windows gaming? One good thing is that Valve now...

    DXVK Guide

    I agree When I checked my driver manager after some system updates, turns out now I'm using Nvidia 396.51 I didn't even see this update in the list??? Anyways, I downloaded 0.70 and will probably update this guide. Its Debian, Ubuntu, Mint specific anyways... so it doesn't apply to everyone

    DXVK Guide

    Thank you for the tips. The question is, do I keep this guide because it refers to Nvidia 396.24.02 and DXVK 0.60 or do I update it with the newest versions? Or... do I create a new one for 0.70?

    Wine DXVK - The Future with Vulkan

    Dang, I wanted to keep testing games with version 0.60 So if I want to test Direct X 10 games I need to upgrade my Nividia drivers and start using 0.70?

    Wine DXVK - The Future with Vulkan

    Thanks for explaining all of your export commands. Do you think this "fake DX10" might work in the same fashion? dxgi.fakeDx10Support = True I'm trying to test Lichdom Battlemage and I get a HUD with a black screen just like adcdam... probably because its defaulting to Direct X 10 instead of...

    Wine DXVK - The Future with Vulkan

    Awesome! Great job and great video showing off Wine's capabilities. And DXVK of course! What are all of these commands you are running in the Misc Tab? Its blurry and I can't read them... also, adcdam is right... normally all of those d3dcompiler versions are not installed when using the...

    WTF of the day: Your debit card might spontaneously combust

    Thats awesome! I thought Telemarketing scams were tedious... these guys went the extra step and mailed it out! It probably worked too... some people are afraid of everything they don't understand.

    This sounds ominous...

    Oh yes, please post any security threats for Linux or even Mac OSX. They share the same Unix background, so one might affect the other.

    Rise Of Flight Guide

    Rise of Flight is a free-to-play combat simulator with online battles and campaigns. Of course you only get two planes for free and the rest have to be purchased. But once you get your Controller or Joystick setup with the 400 controls and your plane is in the air, all the combat simulator...

    This sounds ominous...

    The only things that have frustrated me about Linux are some of the GUI changes Mint makes for each new edition. That is about it. Everything else is GREAT! I have yet to experience an update or threat completely brick my systems. But in Windows, I see it all the time.

    Valheim Survival

    https://dvoidis.itch.io/valheim I really like survival games and its rare when I find one that is really fun and unique like Don't Starve, The Raft or The Flame In The Flood. Valheim is currently in development and the Alpha demo is very polished. I really like the pixelie graphics...

    Sacred 2 Gold Guide

    Hmm, are you installing from a DVD? I've only tested the GOG version, but you can always copy all of the data from the DVD into a folder on your Desktop, then install it from there. That is usually what I do when a Disk is causing issues in Wine. This is a common problem. Also, PlayOnLinux...
