Hearts of Iron IV: Death or Dishonor released along with big patch

Took Hungary and Checkoslovakia for a spin yesterday and the now focus trees are absolutely brilliant. The both DLCs currently give the best fun in the whole game. Now the long wait to get non-generic focus for all the nations continues.

Works nice, it was actually a tad faster with ogl than vulkan for me.
RX480 Image quality= maximum, Textures=max, AA=low
RADV: 30-56fps
OGL: 39-60

Ogl also had less micro stuttering.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III to get a free update with new multiplayer game modes

Quoting: razing32Some people really don't like the MOBA elements
I'm personally not perfectly happy either with the game but complaining about the moba elements baffle me (unlocking being stupid I do understand).
Does it have heroes? Yes, so did previous. Even more so infact with the gear buying and whatnot.

Also I don't really get why they are adding annihilation when the current mode is pretty much it. You are required to bust enemy base (or specific building in it and when you are capable of doing it, you could take the whole base down).
I'd much rather see the VP capture of COH and DOW2 which the whole node capturing is already so very well suited for.

I bet fourth race is skaven based on the mutated rat in the end.
All I can say is that my penis is quite hard already.

X-Plane 11 now in beta, also has a demo available
29 Nov 2016 at 7:34 pm UTC

Quoting: CAPTNCAPSApparently it does not run on open source drivers...
X-System Error:
X-Plane does not support the Gallium driver stack.
Installer won't even start... :(
You have to run it with --force_run
After installing you have to do some patching and dark magic.

Got it running with mesa thanks to some help in irc, gearsongallium and phoronix forums.
Runs great and it's awesome. I need to get a cheap flightstick now and buy this shit. Does someone want to buy my kidney?

Valve are looking towards Flatpak functionality for Steam

Quoting: minjCorrect me if I am wrong but this feels like an end of Steam on Arch/Manjaro? We are constantly plagued by obsolete libs in steam runtime. What happens if we remove them? Will Steam 'fail over' and re-download itself immediately?
It's already possible to run steam without runtime and arch even has the important compatibility libraries packed in repository. I wouldn't expect that to change just because they change the way to package the runtime.

Albion Online is to get another impressive content update named 'Faye'

Very nice stuff in the update. I still just don't feel like hopping in again before the next wipe. I don't want to do the massive cloth farming for three times (not necessary, I just like doing it).
