Quoting: ajgpAre they?; I thought they had mentioned that the first Vulkan game from them would come in the first half of 2017 but it wasnt Deus Ex, though they may revisit it later on to see.

I looked it up a while ago, and they were stating something about Deus Ex and about Vulkan, explicitly stated that this is not connected, but did not explicitly state that Desus Ex will not use Vulkan. No wonder this created some confusion.

So, probably, there will be no Vulkan version of Deus Ex. I'm fine with the next port using Vulkan anyway. :)

Probably the one obvious question to them:
Which technical problems have held up the port?

Quoting: ShabbyXHave you noticed the "GPU Driver (AMD)" trend graph has over 105% as the sum of free and proprietary drivers for Jan 2017? That graph generally looks weird: the free driver is on a smooth rise, but the proprietary goes up and down... shouldn't they be complementary?

You're right, there's something wrong in the trend statistics.

Quoting: DarkDuoGames[1] The mouse issue - as reported by WorMzy - which may be caused by the "Windows Manager" being used. If anyone could provide feedback that would be great.

I don't think so. For the records, I'm using KDE, but I never experienced such a problem, neither with Unity games nor with others.

Quoting: rambo1462i see 32-bit went from 2 to 4.
nice to know I am 25% of the 32-bit community

Ha! One of the 32 bit desperados! May I ask why you are using this?

Ah, one problem: I get several hundred FPS with a GTX 780 on my 120 Hz monitor. This makes the GPU getting hot, getting loud and wasting energy.

Quoting: riusma

Quoting: WorMzyIt runs well, but I seem to have an intermittent issue when using a mouse where I can't move my paddle to the bottom of the screen. It's almost as though the paddle already thinks it's at the bottom of the screen and won't move any lower. I have to move significantly up in order to be able to move down to the bottom.

This is using a Roccat Kone XTD, polling at 1000Hz, and running at 1000dpi.

The game seems to run well (I just run it some minutes for testing, will have a deeper look at it later) but I've encountered the same intermittent issue: sometimes the paddle don't reach the bottom of the screen, using some basic HP mouse (so I don't think it's hardware specific).

Same here with a Logitech G400.

By the way, I didn't expect a beta to drop cards, even less so after some minutes. :)

Took one as well, this was just too tempting. :)
I'll give it a try soon.
Thanks!

Quoting: Doc AngeloI also buy Linux games. If there's an kinda interesting game, but it doesn't support Linux, it will fall off my radar more easily. But if there is a game I really want to play because I know other games from the developer or it's a successor of a game I loved, I will still buy it. Even if the developers state that they will never support Linux just because they don't have any experience nor interest in that. That's OK for me. I still like to give them money for a good game that is fun to play.

I totally understand that. It's hard for me to turn a blind eye to Fallout and Elder Scrolls...

Quoting: Doc AngeloI have to say that I wouldn't have thought that 67% are not dual booting - not even another Linux distro. Is it really that common for Linux gamers to not have a Windows partition ready for the case a game will not have Linux support - or just older Games which do not work well with Wine?

I guess GoL readers are a bit more hardcore than the average also-on-Linux gamer. I dual booted for over a decade for gaming and stopped in April 2014, when I felt there's enough to play on Linux. I tend to play through games and not revisit them, so no need to run older games.
