With a data rate suitable for Stadia, it can take you hours before you have finished a download and can start playing.

When I saw it I thought "Why are such drugs only given to advertising clowns?!? :D

Oh I'm sure the trailer can't be that ba....what the heck was that thing?! This is why adverts shouldn't be made while on drugs.

German magazine c't used a 1000 fps cam. I would guess you have some of those lying around? ;)

Quoting: Liam DaweHonestly, I've no idea on how to actually accurately measure input lag. Been looking around, doesn't sound like it's even remotely easy to do. The best guides I've seen mention using a really good camera to show both the screen and key presses, which sadly the best I have is a webcam and it's not all that great either. We just don't have the funding to splash on stuff like that.

I don't understand the disconcertment in the tweets linked. You wrote back then "they ship it out based on order date. Checking back on it, ours is saying to be delivered by November 27th.", so I guess people should have gotten information when to expect their start...

QuoteWell, sort of anyway. Some people have it, a lot of people don't, we certainly don't and it appears the team at Stadia give different answers to different people on when you will actually be able to access it.

If it would fail, shouldn't they sell Red Dead Redemption 2 on Linux to get at least a little money back?
I know what you mean... :D

Quoting: kellerkindtWell, and here is me. Me hoped that the stadia experience would be kinda solid, giving Valve enough reasons to push full steam ahead (haha! sry) using the Linux container env as cloud env allowing us to play all the AAA games as they enter steam cloud gaming... Bye bye, me playing Red Dead Redemption 2 natively on Linux... :'(

Path of Exile continues down the Vulkan path, with a possible port to Linux mentioned

Wanted to say the same, and that even before the day Stadia released! :)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyQuoting: ShmerlThe biggest fear for MS and other two remaining lock-in freaks :) And likely many will follow it now. Stadia tipped the scales.Does seem to be an early sign that Stadia could actually have positive spin-off effects for normal Linux gaming.

The sad case of Trine on Mesa and Linux in 2019
20 November 2019 at 8:47 am UTC Likes: 3
After 14 years of using Linux, and at least a decade of starting Windows only for gaming (and work), Trine 2 was the first professional game I bought and played on Linux, in late 2012. When I started it, it took quite some seconds to come out of a black screen, so I thought it wouldn't work. I wasn't vastly disappointed at that moment, because I had that feeling, trained in a long time, that Linux just isn't a gaming system. So it was a pleasant surprise when it left the black screen and I could play it. So, still thanks, Frozenbyte!

QuoteFrozenbyte was an early adopter of Linux, first through the porting house Alternative Games and then later through their own in-house development starting with Trine 2.

Valve has now confirmed Half-Life: Alyx, their new VR flagship title

This might qualify as the greatest nonsense about VR I've ever read. There's lots of qualified critics about price, weight, cable, lack of big games, nausea, maybe even fundamental problems making "real" games with VR.
But there's nothing a flat screen can offer that's comparable to turning around - your head, not pressing some controller stick - to see what's lurking behind you. It's something that fucks with your inner ape in a way a monitor just cannot and never will.
("fucks with your inner ape", is that something a native speaker might say - if he's in a somewhat colloquial mood, of course?)

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesI can guarantee that the best thing to enter virtual reality is a giant 4K screen. Not some idiotic thing on your head.

Quoting: Liam DaweQuoting: SirLootALotSo we got the bethesda games, that use Vulkan anyway, RDR2 and ferals Linux ports of the TR series to use Vulkan, right?Feral confirmed on Twitter they didn't do the Stadia ports. Can't find where they said it in reply to someone now though, but I saw it.
I was hoping for more Vulkan adoption outside of Stadia but we'll have to wait how this develops in the future.
