I could go as far back as #Windows8, which this machine comes with, but setting up an older environment with the right version of #DotNetFramework, #DirectX, etc., is a challenge.

mfw DirectX doesn't have proper line rendering
no glLineWidth()
no GL_LINES_SMOOTH
just ugly lines
this explains a lot
#X4Foundations runs on #SteamOS #SteamDeck and #Linux quite well.
I would say that the best way to play this and many other games is on #Linux
The reason is because the Linux software stack uses far less resources than #Windows
#Proton does not use emulation. The API calls the games make are executed in #Vulkan. On #Windows11 something similar happens. The game API calls use #DirectX 11
Чтобы запускать игры на #linux через #wine не достаточно поставить в систему #DXVK, в почти 100% надо ещё и подменять dll-ки в «префиксе»
Либо через копирование:
А потом: «open winecfg and manually add native DLL overrides for d3d8, d3d9, d3d10core, d3d11 and dxgi under the Libraries tab». В зависимости от локализации ОС этот пункт зовётся противоречиво:
• «native (Windows)»;
• «сторонняя (Windows)».
Точно так же поступает #lutris — делая именно симлинки, убедиться можно через:
Из плюсов Lutris умеет делать за пределами префикса `sandbox-for-wine-folders` — там сохранения игрушки и конфиги в чистом виде отдельно от файлов эмуляции windows-системы:
Да, убедиться что подмена на DXVK прошла успешно можно через вывод в левом верхнем углу FPS + дополнительной информации через объявление:
#games #lang_ru

Microsoft embraces more open standards with DirectX 12 adopting SPIR-V https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/microsoft-embraces-more-open-standards-with-directx-adopting-spir-v/
Once @microsoft 's Shader Model 7 is released, #DirectX 12 will accept shaders compiled to SPIR-V. Microsoft is working with the Khronos #SPIR and #Vulkan Working Groups to ensure that this transition benefits the whole development ecosystem.

É claro que não parece muito substancial nos dias de hoje, mas naquele momento, eu achava muito relevante ampliar o leque de coisas que eu podia fazer com o computador (e, consequentemente, passar mais tempo nele, indo além dos jogos, cada vez mais pesados e incompatíveis com o hardware que eu tinha). De certa forma, também era um desafio. Ninguém mais usava #MSDOS em casa. O sistema havia se tornado um apêndice depois do lançamento do #Windows95 e era uma coisa do passado, principalmente depois de 96 ou 97, quando o #DirectX engrenou e o Windows passou a ganhar cada vez mais jogos sofisticados.
As much as I was happy to hear #ElectronicArts bring the old #CommandAndConquer Ultimate Collection to #Steam, I think it's absolutely pitiful that they haven't added updated resolution support and some of the #games don't even run straight ouf of the box, I heard (like C&C Generals because it relies on some old #DirectX library that Microsoft doesn't somehow include with Windows)? Like... why?
EA just points out to third party community forum websites like CNCNet, CNC Online etc. Shameful?
Just published a new #blog post! This one's about building and running #DirectX natively on #Linux through the amazing #DXVK translation layer, and its native version which I'd never heard of. This allows building native Linux binaries without having to go through #WINE, meaning the code is debuggable with the usual tools like gdb that otherwise don't work on WINE.

All-Purpose Mat's Ramblings · DirectX? On my Linux??You: DirectX 11? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your Linux system? ...
Last night, I wanted to show off my little dice rolling tool I made in Unity a few years ago. But I made it before switching to Linux, so all I had was a Windows build.
Now, apparently Unity on Windows defaults to DirectX 11. "No problem!" I thought, and installed DXVK. And then the penny dropped...
My laptop is so old, that it doesn't even support Vulkan properly. 
And I never noticed this, because I only ever ran DirectX 9 games through Gallium Nine.
Well, another reason to continue the conversion to Godot...

An #introduction. #GenX #gamedev since '96. Started in the days of #DirectX 3 (!) and #N64.
For my sins I was lead programmer on #EarthwormJim 3D and State of Emergency amongst others. Worked for a while on #Playstation Home. Nowadays mostly technical project management contracting and consultancy, but still coding.
Experience with #unreal and #unity (pah!) but also custom engines and weird legacy code. Still trying and failing to find the time to squeeze in indie solo dev work. Maybe one day.
#CrossOver 23, a software that enables users to run Microsoft apps on Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS devices, has just launched. The update includes support for #DirectX 12 on macOS, a simplified process to uninstall Windows software, and EA App Support on Linux.
