Quoting: liamdaweNo you don't use it and never used it. Maybe I should make that more clear...
I'd suggest sticking to yes/no. It really doesn't say much if one has used Wine at some point. I am sure most people have. Like I have used Windows before, but I don't anymore.

Quoting: liamdaweI've now added it in as "Do you use Wine to play Windows games?".
What's the difference between no and never?

I bet we will have a lot of fun and nothing will try to kill us or scare us.
I am sure you have nothing to worry about. Those facilities have like shitton of safety rules and regulations. What could possibly go wrong?

DiRT Showdown is not sold anymore. You literally cannot get it anymore.

Yeah, calling it fake was a bit harsh. Carefully placed might be better wording. ;)

But it's a curse, I'll tell you. Once you know the blocky shadows are there, you start noticing them. But anyway, before I upgraded my gaming box, I could not afford to have shadows all. So a first world problem for sure.

Quoting: liamdaweWow, how low are you settings? Mine looks nothing like that.
This is supposed to be Ultra. I would really like to see a screenshot from a similar location. The screenshot is Värmland, Sweden, Elgsjön (Sprint), Midday / Sunny.

Quoting: LinasShadows in the game are not anything as smooth as that. They are quite blocky and jagged. The only nitpick I have with Dirt Rally.
Could it be your graphical settings or something? Because for me shadows look quite smooth, pretty much like in the screenshot.
Now I am intrigued. This is what I am seeing.

Dirt Rally is a great game, no question about it. But that screenshot is totally fake. Shadows in the game are not anything as smooth as that. They are quite blocky and jagged. The only nitpick I have with Dirt Rally.

Fugl means a Bird, in case you were wondering...

The situation of 'RUINER' coming to Linux is so very strange, developers now asking for requests

Quoting: ShmerlThis sounds unprofessional to me.
No, not really. Deadline is nearing, and as always there are lots of things to be done, and managers are starting to look for things to cut to meet the deadline. Does not necessarily mean that Linux is canceled, but that it has been reduced in priority in favor of some contractual obligations they need to meet.

It's no insider knowledge or anything, just my experience with how software projects tend to work.
