Linux
will soon have the ability to run the latest PC games that use DirectX
11. All this is going to happen with a software called CrossOver which
is extending support to DirectX 11 by the end of this year. Those who
prefer Wine, they will get it shortly afterwards.
DirectX
still forbids the Linux users from playing many Windows games. Now more
Windows PC games will run on Linux and developers will easily package
those games coupling with the compatibility code to provide official
Linux support.
It should be noted that Wine already supports DirectX 9, but the newer games no longer support DirectX 9.
While there are very few software that still don’t work on Linux
using Wine, games are a complicated situation because they are
complicated to emulate. For those who don’t know, Wine is an open-source
tool that allows Windows applications to run on non-Windows operating
systems like Linux, OS X and others.
According to a post on Reddit, this code will be completed by the end of 2015, and work has already in progress for seven months.
There are lots of users who want Linux to support DirextX 11 and with
its arrival in CrossOver and Wine, gamers will surely have a big reason
to celebrate.
“In the coming months, CodeWeavers will have support for DirectX 11;
better controller support; and further improvements to overall GPU
performance. While these incremental improvements for game support may
seem small (at first), the cumulative improvements for game support will
allow for many of these games to ‘just run’ when released,” said James Ramey, the president of Codeweavers, in his E3 2015 blog.
With CrossOver and Wine bringing DirexctX 11 support, Linux gamers will have access to the entire Windows game]ing catalogue.
“It won’t matter if you’re battling against Thor or Apollo using a PC, a Mac, or a Linux computer.”
