compatibility layer built around open source projects including wine dxvk and vkd3d proton it all just works i must say that it feels miraculous for a game released in 2000 and designed for windows 98

including anno 117 pax romana and a plague tale requiem could run several percent faster under linux on a number of amd gpus the results were far less flattering for nvidia hardware and windows retained an advantage in several other games but the old assumption that compatibility necessarily carries a heavy performance penalty no longer holds use express checkout link below to read the full
