I bought Hitman and Deus Ex from Feral store today.
Linux gaming needs Feral Interactive.

I can confirm that installing libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx fixes the crash on startup on Debian!
Thanks Feral!
That doesn't feel like a non-supported system at all. :)

"Marketing strategy didn't work. F...k."
Hahaha. Their Vulkan renderer is still definitely faster which is great, but it's too bad it's still 40-50% the speed of the DX version, but that's ports for you and any improvement to ports is good. I just hope we start getting pure native Vulkan releases soon especially now that Unity3D 5.6 is out with Vulkan.
It seems you were the one who found the problem? Thanks for pointing out!

On April 1st, the title of this site was "Gaming on Windows 10". We were making fun. You're just late to the party.

Quoting: BeamboomI see several of you guys discuss user ratings and the motive behind them. You should stop caring so much about the user ratings and read the professional reviews instead. There it is properly explained why they set the score that they do, furthermore they use a lot more fine-grained score system than a simple thumb up/down.
I don't think so. A game in a genre I like being liked by many people that are into the genre as well turned out to be a good indicator for being fun for me. I additionally read professional reviews (on paper). But I never got why a 100 step score would be any more than fake precise.

Quoting: KimyrielleI am a huge Civ fan, but it's honestly not a game I'd play multiplayer. Turn-based games and multiplayer don't mix very well IMHO. Still good to see this implemented for the people who wanted it. :)
Turn based games that have relatively small turns and players can do their turns concurrently (still turn based) can be pretty good for multiplayer.
Frozen Synapse!

@all, including myself:
Do buy Feral ports at Feral store if at all possible.
Imagine Linux gaming without them.

Quoting: UltraAltesBrotThat means other Feral ports seem to have been a financial success.. which is good i guess?
How many of them had a sequel ported to prove?

Quoting: silmethIf you had an earlier version of Windows, maybe. That’s still not free of charge for people looking for an OS for their OS-less hardware, nor free-as-in-freedom. ;-)
I had Vista, so it wouldn't be free for me.

Quoting: silmethStrange. I come to the Gaming on Windows 10 site to read some proper Win10 and Xbox Live content, hopefully with modern cutting-edge technologies like DX12, and what I see is articles about some Vulkan in Unity games on Linux. Shite.
These Linnux suxors are just to cheap for a real os...!
