I asked them for a refund which I did get, simply no hope left for a linux version on my end.

The notification about likes is amazing, big improvement just that. Since I haven't been quoted yet I'm not sure if it will send me a notification when it happens, will it?
Great work, Liam, this is almost becoming a social network!

I'm not a game dev, but I studied programming at high school and I know "for sure" that letting the Linux and Mac versions for later will just make them harder and harder to work on with every new feature. Still, I'm glad they didn't drop it.

Quoting: m2mg2It seems likely to me that if they aren't committed to it, it probably won't happen.

That too. Keep happy, but don't do something crazy like pre-ordering the game now. Or even backing now that they are kind of quiet.

I asked them about this awhile back on Google+, and they said they would issue refunds if they were unable to release for Linux. :) So there is hope.

Quoting: nifkerWon't buy a new x86-CPU until they remove their microcode.

Why exactly? CPUs have had microcode basically forever and you've been able to upload new revisions for a long, long time.

i'm a bit dissapointed about this whole back and forth that they wanted to cancel linux port alltogheter at some point.. but im glad thats still on the table. This was my last game i backed on kickstarter and i hope to see it on linux at some point. Hopefully its not too much after launch

Quoting: Xpanderlike i said, thatswhy i havent bought intel yet, cause most of their cpus have. only the expensive ones doesnt.
AMD FX series will not have an APU yeah.. so thats all good in my book :)

Ahh, okay. I might have been a bit under-caffeinated this morning :D

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoEven when they have an iGPU, I switched from AMD to Intel because they have low power consumption and a good singlecore performance...

I would like to use AMD again if they get rid of the piledriver tech fiasco.... I want true cores with low power consumption and high IPC per core and combo is only available at Intel... for now.

Yeah, that's totally understandable. I hope Zen helps to get rid of that fiasco that held me back from upgrading to anything else than a Phenom II in my main machine. I made an exception for my HTPC which got a Piledriver-based APU. At least the ones with less power-consumption are quite suitable for this niche.

Quoting: GuestThe notifications are great, thanks. Being able to view the message directly from the notification screen would be a welcome addition, but not necessary.

I tried doing that, but it became a real nuisance to get it to look right. I might take another crack at it sometime, since that was before I decided to use JS rather than plain CSS for it and it may be a lot easier now.

Quoting: liamdawePlease do not bring distro wars here, they are not welcome. All it does it get people riled up.

We should celebrate our diversity. I don't like Ubuntu, but I have no issue with other people liking it. It has brought many users to Linux that may not be here otherwise. I'm not a huge fan of rolling release either as it can interfere with consistency. I'm happy with whatever distro works for the user, which is really what is important. You don't get that with Windows, the user does not matter. That is what Linux and FSF is about, user freedom. Celebrate it!

The fact that users can get current versions of mesa, llvm, radv in ubuntu more easily is great!

There's freedom and then there's people being douches and starting a needless distro war ;)

I totally agree, I meant we should talk about all distro's positively and not bring negativity about individual choice. It was meant to be a statement of agreement, sorry if it wasn't as clear as it was intended.

Quoting: khanseiYou can drop the get you know :)

sudo apt update 

You'll need to get use to it but its much faster on a daily basis !

I know; i usually use just apt myself. However as upthread we were having a discussion about Ubuntu being an 'easy' distro I thought I would use the longer way on purpose :P

For the people who are new to this PPA thing, in the case something go wrong, to switch between PPAs or if you just want to go back to the stock packages, you can uninstall a PPA installing the package "ppa-purge":

sudo apt install ppa-purge

Then, you can uninstall a PPA with:

sudo ppa-purge nameofppa

what I need to do is trace down xorg 1.19 so I can test those optimus changes properly, saying that though, time to get my Gentoo install working, back before UEFI it was easy, now it's just complicated!

I do miss Gentoo, hello darkness my old friend...

I don't regret buying this game, it's definitively a good (and difficult) one! :)

The Wood Elves look awesome - nice new content indeed! What's with the Grey and Jade Wizards, can we expect them on Linux too?

UPDATE:
I reverted UE4Engine back to 4.12 branch and it works better now. Now to figure out RL Arenas...

RL always gets me so pumped!!!

Linux version actually seems more stable for me now. Will have to try arenas that others have mentioned on here that are known for crashes.

I only ever had stuttering when loading resources. That would be at beginning of match, and a bit as I drove down field for the first time. MAYBE, if a new user joined (new car design possibly?).

It is still slow to load when I am editing a vehicle, again, resource loading.

As far as gameplay, on Exhibition anyways, rock solid on "Quality" settings (R9 390).

I was able to subscribe to some user created levels in steam workshop and see them in the menu in game, but couldn't figure out how to play on them.

That inspired me to start looking at level creation, then updated my UE4Editor src and rebuilt but alas, it crashes now when loading/creating any project. I swore it was working before...

Heard a new song in the menu, Solar Eclipses? That was pretty decent. So then I learned how to convert game music to OGG so I can listen to it outside of the game.



Did I mention that RL always gets me so pumped!?!!

Quoting: crt0mega

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI really miss the old AMD days of CPUs with hidden cores.

Do you mean unlocking those disabled cores of AMD Athlon/Phenom X3 CPUs? That's always been a bit like playing Minesweeper xD

Exactly that!
I have a Sempron 140 with the additional core fully functional....
and a Phenom II x2 550 with the two functional additional cores.. 4 cores for the price of 2 :)

I really miss that feature...

The FX 6300 indeed is an FX 8320 with a module that is laser cut.. ¬¬

Even when they have an iGPU, I switched from AMD to Intel because they have low power consumption and a good singlecore performance...

I would like to use AMD again if they get rid of the piledriver tech fiasco.... I want true cores with low power consumption and high IPC per core and combo is only available at Intel... for now.

Ubuntu needs a rolling release. Rolling release has been nice for me using opensource drivers. I dont have to worry about adding unofficial repositories and still get the latest stable drivers. The issue with rolling release is steam packaging old lib files that are incompatible with the opensource drivers.

Quoting: boltronicsAn update:
I'm running an up to date Debian stretch on amd64. I also tested Mesa 13.0.2 that's provided by the distribution, and that has the same problem as the builds I compile myself.

I had a little bit of time to look into this tonight. I didn't get too far since Mesa takes a long time to build (and then launching Steam and launching the game also adds time to each test). However I have identified the last good build was 12.0.5 stable. The next stable release is 13.0.0 which fails in the same way 13.0.2 does on my Fiji-based card. The timing sounds about right - it's probably been 1 to 2 months since the game has worked. Again, the game continues to work perfectly under Wine with 13.0.2 and the Gallium on Nine patches so it's not a big deal, just a bit annoying.

We have a Fiji card here (R9 Nano) it's pretty much the same hardware as the Fury X. We retested just now using running Mesa 13.0.2 (using the Padoka stable PPA Paulo Dias created for us the other day) our distro used is Ubuntu 16.10.

Everything runs perfectly with no issues on the latest release, we've also not had other reports. I suspect this might be related to something else linked to your system given stretch is the testing distribution it's completely possible some other related library in your distro is causing side effects. It's one of the reasons why we can't support rolling releases / testing distributions as things are in a state of constant flux.

Hope this helps you debug your issues further. Do let us know if you find anything we should know about.

I think Unity is really outdated and poorly maintained, but I like Ubuntu as a core OS a lot and I'm currently running Ubuntu Gnome. Xubuntu should be nice also...

Sounds like a good idea for a game. I think you should start a community project :P

QuoteThese are all cosmetic items only that offer no special advantages over regular cars

It's not only cosmetic, is it? The cars have different stats/handling, so it's at least theoretically possible that these DLC cars do offer advantages.

To be honest, I purchased the Esper car and I imagine it has the edge over the included cars. At least it very fast became my favourite of them, but it might of course just be my imagination, I have no data to back my impression with.

There was some map in Rocket labs that always made me crash. That arena is in casual now, so I wish they would take a look at that. I don't know which arena(s?) it is, because I crash before it loads in. Random crashes stopped happening to me a long time ago though, only happened in rocket labs list.

It's just a theory that it is arena related of course, but it kinda seems like it is.

Quoting: NovaTiny

Quoting: neffoThis is great news, and this is why Ubuntu is great. It's actually supported!

What do you mean with supported? By Canonical?

Read the link at the start of the article, but here is a summary:
All the PPAs for Mesa were built from the git (a daily grab bag of features, bugs or regressions), rather than from the latest release. This made it near impossible to support, but the Mesa bundled with LTS Ubuntu was ancient and lacking features. This PPA means that Feral (and others) have an up-to-date Mesa target to support. Great news for Feral, great news for people on AMD/Intel hardware and great news for gamers all round.

An update:

Quoting: edddeduckferal

Quoting: boltronicsIt's a weird one, and I'm surprised nobody else has seen it since I've been experiencing it for a few weeks now. In fact, just last night I checked out the 13.0.2 git tag, and I still experienced corrupted graphics - built using llvm 3.9, with amdgpu as included in a clean Linux 4.9-rc7 build. This is on a Fury X (Fiji) card. Every time I click past the Feral launcher, all the graphics become garbled - something I don't think I've seen on any of my other games to date. It doesn't seem to be an issue when running the game under Wine, so I'm going to see if I can find time to do a regression test this weekend.

We haven't seen any major reports of issues from AMD GPU users which we would have expected if this was repeatable on multiple machines so I suspect it's related to a library you compiled or linked against.

I'm running an up to date Debian stretch on amd64. I also tested Mesa 13.0.2 that's provided by the distribution, and that has the same problem as the builds I compile myself.

Quoting: edddeduckferalEvery game will use OpenGL and other libraries in unique ways so you'll often see issues only on certain software and hardware combinations. If you do track something down that appears to be repeatable then do let our support know and/or log a bug with the Mesa devs so they can revert the change if needed or we can look at making a change in a patch as needed.

I had a little bit of time to look into this tonight. I didn't get too far since Mesa takes a long time to build (and then launching Steam and launching the game also adds time to each test).
