NVIDIA have released another Vulkan Beta Driver 435.27.07, just for Linux this time
15 Nov 2019 at 9:30 am UTC

I don't really understand all these title specific "fixes": The games are obviously all using the same graphics APIs, so isn't this essentially a bug on the application side?

I mean, most upgrades of the nvidia drivers, regardless of platform, are largely due to very specific issues in very specific games. It all sounds *so* application specific, I am wondering if not Nvidia are running the errands of the engine makers / game makers?
Or what's really going on here?

Quoting: BielFPsI think we all hoped for. Bioshock series really neat the whole "dystopian society" theme.
Especially the first game had an amazing atmosphere, man how I loved to explore and unwrap the stories in there.
One of my all time favourites.

Quoting: tmtvlYou were hoping for a shitty, dumbed-down System Shock clone?
If that's how you want to describe one of my favourite franchises of all time, go right ahead.

Luckily the game turned out to be pretty crappy anyways, so it's not a big loss. For a long time I was hoping for a Bioshock experience.

Quoting: BeamboomSo, Valve, when oh WHEN will your Index be made available in northern Europe? I have been sitting here for a long time already throwing money on my screen! It doesn't help! Nothing happens!
It's been available in Sweden, Finland and Denmark since launch
Are you sure? When I check on gamestop.se it's not in the store there? Have you got a link for me?

Looks like Valve could be set to launch something called Steam Cloud Gaming

Quoting: pbSoon enough, 90%+ of AAA games will be released for Linux (running on cloud servers). ;-)
That's a bit like claiming that Nginx run on all PCs when they are browsing the web, though. :)

Seems there is an issue on the Feral site now, cause the link leads to a 404-page

https://store.feralinteractive.com/en/mac-linux-games/shadowofthetombraider/ [External Link]

It's not a typo on this page, the menus on their site ("buy now") leads to the same faulty url.
