Mad Max meets Vulkan in a new fully public beta for Linux, benchmarks and OpenGL vs Vulkan comparisons
30 Mar 2017 at 3:13 pm UTC

Quoting: aejsmithYep, you'll need Mesa git. Both us and the radv developers have done quite a few fixes over the last few weeks to get the game running well.
Did the game wait for Ubuntu to offer easy access to new Mesa versions?

Quoting: SkiskiI just tried the game last week and my CPU (i5-2400 3.1GHz) can't handle the game. It was between 10 and 30 FPS. Could vulkan help the CPU and use more the GPU? Because my GTX 960 is more than enough for this game.
Should be optimal for your case.

Crazy!
I love that Feral has got its hands wet on Vulkan, which is very good news for future ports.
Max Max with its frae drops is a title (not the only one, though :) ) that for sure can benefit.
The performance numbers are huge!

Oxenfree is a clever, narrative driven supernatural thriller you should check out, my review

Quoting: puppieshatecapitalismI can't recommend this game enough. An impeccable "weird" fiction story, great characters and voice acting, inviting visuals... they really nailed it! Probably my favorite game of 2016. If you enjoyed A Night in the Woods recently, this is the logical next purchase, IMO.
I take this as a recommendation to play Night in the Woods. :)

I really liked Oxenfree. It's the kind of game you should take enough free time to play through in a single session. My first attempt ended quickly as I had the same issue with the dialogue system: Am I really supposed to either listen and miss my opportunity to answer or to answer and interrupt? But I got into it, and partly, it's all logical: If someone asks you if you fancy him, you don't have plenty of time to find an appropriate answer - hesitating is an answer as well. Other dialogue situations give you more time to answer, and sometimes, keeping your mouth shut and just listening is an all fine option. Important dialogue lines are not cut off, so you will not miss something important either way.

The overall game felt a bit like Firewatch to me. Some people didn't like the end of Firewatch (though I was fine with it), Oxenfree is different in this aspect.

Ballistic Overkill leaves early access, but major new features will still be added

According to this [External Link], the game will be 13$ on release - in some hours. Thanks for posting early enough (for me) to buy before! :)

Quoting: liamdaweYup, full server browser. We host three servers too :)
Great!
I gave up on Call of Duty (and with it FPS in general) when Black Ops II didn't have a server browser anymore.

It's still marked as early access and has got the same price tag, so I bought it now.
I figure it has server choice, like in the good old times?
Looking forward to being killed by you, guys and gals!

You will want to force your CPU into high performance mode for Vulkan games on Linux

Quoting: lucifertdarkI tried this the other day when you posted it & the cpu kept overheating, turns out one of the clips that are supposed to hold the fan in place had broken & it wasn't sitting against the cpu so cooling wasn't happening at all, one refresh of the thermal paste & a new fan later & no more overheating, thanks to you Liam I got a potentially cpu threatening problem fixed. :D
Cool!

... in both meanings of the word! :D

It looks like we may be getting a Planescape Torment Enhanced Edition

I never even had heard about Planescape: Torment until 2016. I wonder if I should fetch it. Heard great things.
