    Info regarding Wine-Wayland:

    YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Most games that utilizes DXVK or VKD3D should be fine. Games that have native Vulkan or OpenGL are a coin toss. Most launchers should also be fine (Again huge thanks to Etaash, he’s been hammering out a lot off the Wine-Wayland bug fixes, including one that was critical for OpenGL and launcher rendering). If a game or launcher isn’t working, please DON’T come bugging us to fix it. Officially we’re with Valve on this – it’s not supported. It’s there for people to use/try/test out because it’s a wanted feature, that’s the extent of it.

    New option for using Wine-Wayland:

    PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

    New option for using HDR with Wine-Wayland:

    PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

    It goes without saying, but just in case people don’t know – You need Wine-Wayland to use HDR, therefore you need both options for HDR:

    PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

    If you want to use Wine-Wayland without HDR, you do NOT need this option:

    PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

    Known issues with Wine-Wayland:

    DOOM 2016: Opens in small window and crashes on resolution change without mesa patch. Fixed with patch DOOM Eternal: Crashes without mesa patch. Broken mouse cursor in menus, Broken mouse pointing in-game DOOM The Dark Ages: Broken mouse pointing in-game Wolfenstein The Old Blood: OpenGL error crash Wolfenstein The New Order: OpenGL error crash Wolfenstein Youn Blood: mangohud broken Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2: Vulkan renderer broken without mesa patch. Fixed with patch.

    AMD-Specific:

    mesa patches needed for DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34918 mesa patches needed for DOOM Dark Ages: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34944 mesa patches needed for Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2 (currently not submitted yet): https://github.com/Nobara-Project/rpm-sources/blob/42/baseos/mesa/min_image_count.patch

    Hopefully we can figure out a fix for the cursor issue in the DOOM games. Fingers crossed

    Okay, what’s the biggest and most active gamer community on Matrix?

    I don’t know, and don’t really care. I play games mostly with friends. Listening to a large chat room full of random people doesn’t appeal to me at all.

    Regardless of social preferences, I think you’ll find that there is no Discord alternative with public chat rooms as big and active as Discord’s, nor will there be any time soon. The network effect is strong there.

    Nevertheless, we can choose tools that serve us better, and invite others to join us when it’s practical. Ex-redditors have been doing this with Lemmy. Ex-Windows gamers have been doing this with Linux. Shifting away from an entrenched platform is usually slow and gradual, but not impossible.

    Mumble is great, but there are some things that people have come to expect from group chat services that it is not designed to do. For example, running in a web browser, persistent message history, and multi-device access to a single account. Adding such things would be no small amount of work, which is probably the main rason it hasn’t been done. (And, of course, the changes required would make the result incompatible with Mumble.)

    Considering what exists today, I think Matrix has the best chance at becoming a Discord alternative. It already has a lot of the needed features. The new voice/video system (now in beta) looks very promising. And, of course, it also supports self-hosting and end-to-end encryption, both of which Discord lacks.
