Valve didn't start DXVK, they hired the lead developer so he can devote more time to it.
Valve is forking WIne
Either way, they're probably the reason it's in the good shape it's in currently.
Great news. I hope the code isn't trash and meets quality expectations!
I'm still gonna torrent steam nose vidya.
Holy fucking shit, does this mean I can run games like GTA V natively on Loonix now?!
Looks like i'll be ditching Windows faster than I thought!
If it runs in Wine, then yes.
You already could, DXVK just means you can run it on potatoes too now. The real question is when is someone going to give intel and nouveau vulkan support? Nouveau is starting with a spir-v to llvm bytecode interpreter. But intel hardware doesn't have any vulkan support.
Also holy shit this might deserve its own thread steamcommunity.com
So essentiallly valve is using DXVK patchsets with latest wine version for newer games. And for older games too straight from the steam client. Valve official owns the linux market for games now. I don't know how to feel about valve working directly with codeweavers/wine though. Time will tell.
You know what to do OP.
You forgot your manchild soyface.
Post more Qts holding wine glasses?
This is great news!
