Quoting: Sil_el_motI've read a lot about that the russian tanks are historically incorrect far better in comparison to others, mainly the german ones. Is this still a thing?

It's a load of bollocks spread by so called "wehraboos", whom are a phenomenon reaching far beyond the borders of this game's community.

Germany, together with Japan, gets far more "historical leeway" than the allied nations (mostly because they didn't develop any vehicles in the period right after the war) and Germany in particular is one of the most prolific choices both in Tanks as well as Aircraft.

By the way if you care for pure gossip even if based on factual points, a separate studio will use War Thunder's game engine to build a first person shooter [External Link] based on the same engine and their "System Requirements" section mentions "we will probably add support for Vulkan later on" which strongly implies War Thunder will get a Vulkan renderer as well, eventually. (This isn't based on my tech mod position, I have no insider info on the matter)

Ey I am actually an International team Tech Mod for War Thunder so if you have any esoteric kinda problems to report you can try to contact me and I can see if I can help!

(And yes I have drowned unhealthy amount of time in this game)

Yep, I have been using this for a while and it works wonders.

I have recorded this just yesterday using OBS and the NVENC encoder.

View video on youtube.com

As you can see, really nice fullHD at 60 fps.
I am on a i5-4670K clocked at 3.9GHz with a 2GB GTX760.

The only other thing I did "specially" was that I was recording this to RAM, rather than my HDD which seems to help random freezups through the video.
You can achieve that on ubuntu like distros by simply using file browser in OBS and recording to /dev/shm but keep in mind that IS your ram right there, and if you overfill it, you WILL run out of ram, and will have an ugly time (And people kept trying to tell me that 16GB of ram is unnecessary :] ). Also, it obviously doesn't survive reboot.

Quoting: dubigrasuI don't get that Feral radar. The "Depth charge" thing is closer than Mad Max which is supposed to be released now.
Anyway no, I won't pick up a copy unless there'a a sale.
30 Euro is terribly expensive for me, sorry.

The game has already gone below $10 on a sale and I am very confident it will do so again on the Linux release (that's how Shadow of Mordor did too).

Quoting: edddeduckferalSure please do and link to this thread. We'll add it to our weird unsupported distro list. :-)

These issues we can't guarantee to fix but sometimes something happens that helps expose the root cause so we can workaround or log a bug with the library causing the issue. Also the same thing goes for workarounds if you ever find one let us know we can then use that to help others or even narrow down a permanent fix.

Hello, I would like to ask - does the port support cross platform multiplayer, if so is it supported well (are there no desync issues?) and if either answer is no, is there any positive future outlook?

I hope that by "hold off" you mean mostly "pass".

It has ~50% on Steam reviews, and that's both the all time and recent ones.

We as a community don't have to automatically jump at every muddy turd just because some big names did show kindness to us, come on. It's sadly not a good game and not supporting a failed game developer should come before supporting a Linux friendly one.

If you consider yourself a fan of the (original) series, get yourself an emulator and one of the original games.

Quoting: BeamboomThis is a real interesting discussion, Teal. On one hand I do understand your point of view. It's just to not purchase them. Except, it's not "just" that. They are noise also for those who don't buy them.

Let me draw a very relevant comparison with the music industry. Back in the days, the available music for you were in essence decided by a quite few large distributors/labels and their sub labels, and then again it was curated by the manager of your record store. So a LOT of filtering were done before it came to your decision to purchase or not.

In the mean time it's not an exaggeration to say there's been a revolution in this industry. There's never ever been released as much music as today. The marketplace is completely, utterly flooded. Not with quality, but junk. The ratio of good shit vs junk is off the charts.
Problem now, is to wade through all this garbage in search for something worth picking up. It's a shit job. No fun at all.

The gaming marketplace is not there, not yet. But we don't want to get there either. We really don't.

I never felt like I ever missed a genuinely good game because there's too much "noise" of the bad ones. Good games don't need to be paraded on spotlight on Steam or HiB, people talk about them because they are good!

Similarly with music - good content wins it's way through by being received positively - listen to communities which deal with music, listen to your friends. In both cases, it's a good conversation topic.

I don't feel the need to have only the best choice media served to me on a silver platter, I can make my own opinion and look for them, damnit.

Quoting: liamdaweThis isnt about entitlement, this is as usual my personal thoughts on a finished game.

Anyone who thinks otherwise, honestly, go buy it and tell me i'm wrong. I dare you.

It's okay to dislike games and I am not really arguing against your point, it was more of the notion of "...but for every indie pearl there are 10 other games made by untalented hacks..." in the post I quoted.

Lot of dubious games make it out these games, but I don't understand how's it an issue - you can always just not play them. As for Humble Monthly including it, it's fine to complain to the Humble Store about their selection, but personally I find the choice of buying completely random games willingly somewhat dubious on it's own. I feel like "beggars cannot be choosers" KIND OF applies because, even though you are technically paying for the game, it was your conscious choice to be faced with games you wouldn't have bought otherwise as you presumably already have these.
