Linux’s Gaming Future | DXVK Enters Maintenance mode

1. Hey guys, just remember. Just because it runs, doesn't mean it performs like it should

2. game devs should stop making ms-only games, and start building linux-android compatible games, WHY?
   ANDROID WILL RUN ON EVRYTHING MY DEAR.

3. Godot Engine is the way for making trusted games.

4. I just bought new hardware, am upgrading from a i7-4970 to a Ryzen 3800X. Been running Windows Seven for years and will NOT move to Windows Ten because it is a spyware platform. I decided that any future gaming will have to be done on *nix as the issues with Microsoft are too great to tolerate. Microsoft, the Silicone Valley tech industry and governments around the world are just flat out evil. So just have to say no to their disgusting and vile hubris.

5. Vulkan 1.2 was released 15th January 2020 could be getting updated support for the 23 new features.

6. Meanwhile development of DXVK continues. Philip took his words back.

7. What improvements? The games just looks and sounds better but still the games are same with very limited interactions with the environment. It is the same as 1990s .

8. and yes i was #666 : thumbs up :

9. What is Directx VK?

10. Going to be switching to linux, however i need a desktop environment that can do the side panel properly what is my best option ?

11. Yes, climate change =) Many AMericans deny it, but the weather and the temperatures are getting different

12. Isn't Vulkan being upgraded with more functionality?

13. I want to address something Chris. DXVK is not entering into maintenance mode. The dev was just super frustrated.

14. This was a direct(x) to youtube video, he still has not found his way home, sad 🙂

15. Clickbait! Red alert!

16. Every end is another start

17. I think this makes a lot of sense now it is up to the game makers to make sure their games work in the Proton Platform they have to meet somewhere in the middle

18. good news for @reactos too 🙂

19. First, sorry for horrible english.
    About time and place, you enter in Twilight Zone or horror movie.
    About game development, like others i love to see Microsoft and others use Vulkan, instead DirectX, and Ray Tracing.

20. That’s an awesome realistic screen saver you have running on your green screen behind you! 😉

21. Chris, to catapult your Linux journey in higher levels, you should install Gentoo Linux with desktop and web browser in Virtualbox. I just completed this journey and got everything to work perfectly. That journey forced me to learn a lot. Now I'm watching this video inside a Virtualbox Gentoo's Firefox.

    Gentoo is awesome and really deserves more attention. Modern hardware eliminates the main problem, compile times.

22. Hoping the game development teams develop native Linux games.

23. VKD3D looks like the long term replacement for DXVK.

24. Thank the Linux gods for Lutris and Wine and Proton.
    I hope more people join Linux, and I hope Vulkan becomes a mainstream API.

25. So tl;dr wine is going to continue an integration of an equivalent?

26. There's only one way I can see that DXVK will go away, and that's when game developers abandon DirectX for Vulcan. It is possible, but not probable (we can only dream).

27. 3:18 Welcome to Texas, where the weather is made up in the seasons don’t matter

28. Normally I'd say "cool, better wine makes everything better". But due to the heat, I have to say "better wine makes everything better". Climate change sucks. It's messing with me. 😉

29. So, maintenance mode just means… it's complete? and dosen't need anything else adding untill maybe dx13/w.e is next? cool.

30. luke smith grew hair

31. Oh no.

32. Yeah I'm in Denton and had to kick the ac on for a bit and there was snow on the ground like 4 days ago? I'm new to linux and haven't turned on my windows machine almost a month so far. Lutris has done the trick so far but currently all I play is wow classic. I hope it's all good news from here, I would love for that windows box to stay cold for a long time, although I DID follow your windows 10 tips on your website 🙂

33. Awsome your in Texas too!!! I know I walked outside this morning to go to work and it was 71 and sticky feeling at 5 in the morning!!! Wtf lol
    Felt like I needed another shower just from walking outside.

34. Kind makes sense anyway. DXVK has a lot of features already and new DX11 games will are going to be rarity from now on. The future of gaming is Vulkan and DX12 so focus on that is what works. DXVK already feels like a work that is complete. So simple maintenance is the only thing needed to server the userbase.

35. On the subject of DXVK "maintenance mode", Rebohle gave a statement on that here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/15613

36. I like how you framed this. Helps remind me that my older games are more likely to be made compatible with the inertia of mainstream titles enhancing the platform.

37. My thoughts, keep gaming on Windows as Linux gaming still sucks. Why? Install steam and game in Windows takes 5 minutes. On Linux it takes tutorial after tutorial, tweak after tweak, and you still can't multiplayer with Windows users. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, but not for gaming.

38. an exciting time to be alive

39. Mid 80s in Tampa for the past 2 weeks. Should be in the 70s, but I am not complaining. Thanks for the update.

40. This is good too hear hopefully. Still wish for More native Linux games. not windows imo.

    Still wish we’d see more devs support Linux natively. Windows/directx is holding games/gamers and Pc market hostage imo. If they would switch to Linux. They be able fly free, able push gaming to next level and maybe even make gaming better with help vulkan api. No longer restricted to what ms/windows dictates. Sure it helped in 90’s and early 2000s. But windows has become stagnate like intel has. Because lack of competition of other os. yes Linux is getting better, but still not a threat to Microsoft/windows yet. (Hopefully soon?) And that what needs happen imo, when it does. hardware vendors will hopefully follow, along with gamers.

    Windows has a hostage hold over pc Market imo, which dictated what/who hardware vendors support. We know cloud/servers/mobile and Business has slowly been moving and/or is already using Linux for awhile now. Simple because of the freedom to do what they need. I hope with Proton/vulkan will slowly get hardware venders/ devs/game companies too realize just how bad windows is and it’s hold over pc market atm.. Hope also AMD will also help push for better game performance/and more innovation.

    so far Ryzen/Thread Ripper has kicked to intel to curb and help push gaming and content creators too have more freedom now 🙂 Maybe Proton/Vulkan will also be that push?

    Really wish Valve would Build a Linux Os from ground up. Throw million dollars at it, hire devs/programmers and staff to support it, then the hardware vendor would jump ship too. Then world/consumer/gamers would take notice. It be threat to window. And they already have the servers to support it. Why hasn’t Valve/Steam done this? Window didn’t happen over night. Took yrs get where it is now. Now windows is cancer on Pc Market imo.

    Valve/Steam has the $$$$$ to do this. And big enough to throw weight around too get rest of Pc world too follow. Along with big names ( Intel/AMD/Nvida/etc) Why hasn’t it happened? Steam os was half ass attempt imo.

41. I only buy Linux compatible games at this point.

42. Chris. I'm researching good cameras, mics, and software for doing YouTube content or general vlogging. What do you recommend. I'm a newbie, but I would say that I'm a fairly advanced Linux user. I'm running Fedora 31 on both of my desktops systems.

    Older System 1: Intel i7 Haswell 4 core/8 threads, 32 GB 1600 Mhz RAM, AMD Radeon RX 590 8 GB Sapphire Nitro Edition, Dual 4k LG IPS Monitors. GNOME 3.34 Wayland

    New System 2: AMD Ryzen 9 3950x 16 cores/32 threads, 64 GB 3200 Mhz RAM, AMD Radeon RX 5700XT 8 GB Sapphire Nitro+ Edition, Single 4k LG IPS Monitor. GNOME 3.34 Wayland

    Do you have a video that discusses vlogging hardware and software? What about screen casting? Many regards.

43. Is weather for you untypically warm or cold? It's hard to know what is the typical one at this time of year at your location.

44. Codeweavers is helping steam with proton so I think steam will be pretty awesome for Linux more than it already is in a few years.

45. Yesterday I tried out two new games on Linux. The results. ABZÛ is broken, it won't even launch. F1:2019 on Steam is a mixed bag, it will launch, the benchmark stutters a few times (average FPS of 130-140 but one frame took 0.9 second to render!), while racing I didn't notice issues with stutter but after quitting the race the program kept hanging at a load screen. Also F1:2019 did not want to start with DX12, only with DX11. Recently I tried out The Witcher 3, that gave quite bad stutter in the first minutes but after everything was loaded it was smooth.
    There still is a lot of work to be done to get good gaming on Linux. Unfortunately.
