    It’s not going to take long until Linux is better at running Windows games than Windows itself, especially for older games.

        DXVK really works around a ton of issues and oddities in older games that Windows and gpu manufactures barely, if ever, fixed.

        And all because Valve hired/pays the guy who started it as an attempt to play Nier Automata on Linux (which itself is a fairly janky port)

    I have this broken game in my backlog for decades now, I wonder if this will make it run this time. Hexen II, according to Steam it was released back in 1998.

    Would love to have CRT shaders for this. Playing in 640x480 is the way to go!
