Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: jensIt is best to ignore posts from @shmerl about NVidia ;)

Good luck ignoring the declining trend of its usage on Linux ;)

If we had problems to ignore what most people are doing, we wouldn't be using Linux in the first place.

There's a reason most gamers are using Nvidia. And for me, it works very well on Linux, too.

Quoting: subAnyone else wants Steam listing the engine on the store page?
Or am I missing it?

This would be helpful to me.
For example, all Unity games seem to melt my notebook.
I'd for now better stay away from them.

You're not missing it...
... and I'm not missing it, either. :)

Quoting: SadLWhile laughing (I was still thinking about that Burgundy burning joke..) I saw that "Europa Universalis IV: Collection" on steam only has a windows icon.. I got really confused so I investigated..it looks like e-books are a windows only thing..they have some really strange technology that can read some mysterious files called pdfs..I kid you not..

Doesn't sound like something that will ever become widely accepted...

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI have Crusader Kings II but I'm afraid to start playing it. I need to keep some of my hours for other things.

"Other Things" are overrated when you're about to burn Burgundy for insulting your great grandmother.

Absolutely, you need to set priorities...!

Current integrated graphics have built-in VP9 support.

Quoting: aejsmithThe AO change is described as lower quality in the article but in practice running it at half res makes virtually no noticeable difference to the quality.

I assume you're from Feral?

@Liam, didn't you plan on some "marking" of people who's jobs might have brought them here?

I'm happy Feral is here - and aej, thanks for yours and your colleagues work a thousand times! -, it just makes it easier to sort out who's saying what...

Quoting: YoRHa-2BFWIW, since someone already attacked me over my comment: The only reason I looked into this in the first place is because DXVK seemed unusually slow in comparison and I obviously wanted to know why, to see if there's maybe something I can improve. I'm not attacking Feral, far from it, I like their work and having officially supported games like this is important.

Thanks for your insights! Sometimes, people tend to hit the messenger, however nice they give their message...

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm in two minds about it and my thoughts on it change over time. Especially as I understand why it's done sometimes. We all know Linux ports of smaller games (not talking Feral's AAA here) don't sell much on Linux and so it can be a way for a developer to ensure the initial Linux version is actually worth it.

What I would pledge for is a separate all-or-nothing Kickstarter campaign just for the port...

Quoting: Liam DaweGiven how this campaign is trending [External Link], I can't imagine it not blasting past a couple of stretch goals.

Yeah, I guess we can be optimistic about this one.

Quoting: Liam DaweIn the campaign comments, they said this:

Mac/Linux is at the very beginning of the stretched goals (but I didn't tell you that *wink wink*).

I think you already wrote about this, but enabling ports by stretch goals seems plain stupid to me:
As long as the campaign is below the stretch goal, I might invest in something I cannot play,
as soon as it reached it, the stretch goal lost its motivation for Linuxers.

Quoting: ArehandoroThis is not what the creator told me on reddit, they confirmed a Linux version with no mention of stretch goals or delays, so I might cancel my support which I backed it at the old boxed edition.

I hope they want to say "We're making a Linux version, but we'll be making it earlier if we hit a certain stretch goal."
