#gallium9 — Public Fediverse posts

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. :drgn_flat_x_x:

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...

Okay, so for the record, I tried a bunch of things to get #GuildWars2 to work on #NVIDIA:

- Installing #Nouveau to use #Gallium9 caused a lot of problems (like no 144 Hz) with no noticable improvement.
- Installing #VKD3D #Proton didn't do anything as #GW2 is #DX11
- Installing #DXVK made the launcher crash "Coherent GPU process crashed"
- Simply launching the game through #Steam magically worked. ✨

Seriously, what black magic is #Valve doing? Is #Wine even relevant anymore? #GamingOnLinux

I tried #GuildWars2 on #Linux this weekend. The #performance was horrible, what a shame. I also learned that you can't easily use #Gallium9 on an #NVIDIA #GPU (which could improve performance), what a shame².

I then played #WorldOfWarcraft 3.3.5a somewhere™ 🏴‍☠️

I still wonder, has anyone had good results with #GW2? Should I get the #Noveau #driver?
