Quoting: TheSHEEEPUbuntu GPU drivers are usually VERY outdated, though, I'm not sure if that will resolve this issue.

Isn't that what this news is all about?

Yes.

Don't listen to him. He's lying!

I don't really see it from the article text, to be honest. "Up-to-date" by Canonical standards can really mean quite a range of time ;) Currently, in the "usual" PPA, 4.18.XX is the up-to-date one...

You must be looking at the wrong PPA then. This [External Link] should be the right one, and 430.26 is available for all LTS releases since 14.04. Probably not the latest one, but recent enough.

Quoting: EikeSounds good, and 24 of 24 reviews positive (well, quite some copies for free :) ).

Well, here's a thumbs up from someone who paid for it (before the steam release). :wink:

There doesn't seem to be a story as such like in some of the more famous first person puzzlers we know and love, but the puzzles are fun and the game looks great for a one man project. Definitely worth your time, especially if you're a fan of the genre.

Quoting: fubenalvoVulcan API how common for the Linux Gamers?

Vulkan works fine for us, and we've got some very high-profile games making use of the API, like Dirt 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Talos Principle, Hitman etc. It does require a GPU made in the last few years though. Not that your game would run with anything older anyway.

Quoting: fubenalvoThe problem is, there are gamers, who could play it before with worse graphics, but normal framerate when it was OpenGL based.
Now, with the Vulcan API they got all visuals, but the framerate much-much worse for them.

Your game is definitely smoother with -force-glcore42 than -force-vulkan. I guess that's due to Unity's less-than-perfect Vulkan backend, at least in whatever version of Unity your game happens to run on. Whatever you decide, I'm just happy if you get the Linux version of Flux Caves back up on steam.

For years GOL has been the only site I obsessively check several times a day. No internet community has ever managed to hook me like this one. Thank you Liam and everybody else who has played a part over the years. <3

Quoting: MohandevirThing is, when you buy a GPU, you don't buy it thinking it will break in the next 6 months. This one had really cheap fans that had bearing noise problems. None of my GTX650 (ASUS), GTX750 ti (Gigabyte) and GTX960 (Gigabyte) had these problems and I never paid for premium models. There's a minimum quality that must be respected. Not going to buy any GPU from MSI ever again.

I don't believe is something with MSI as a whole, I'm running a MSI RX580 Gaming X for 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it.

Maybe it was a bad unit?

Well, I bought an MSI Armor RX580 8G a few months back, and I actually avoid playing anything too GPU-heavy because of the hellish noise it makes, so I wouldn't bet on it. There's also an unhealthy, intermittent rattle coming from the bearings already. This is probably the first and the last MSI product I'll ever buy.

Weird thing is, I couldn't find a single review that had bad things to say about the heatsink back when I bought it. Now there seems to be a new version of the card/heatsink though, so maybe they made it better. Doesn't help me or Mohandevir or course.

Quoting: RCLLinux gaming squarely is in the same place when it was in 1999

Well that's obviously not true.

If you've ever enjoyed a classic adventure game, you should definitely give this demo a go. The detailed, imaginative graphics and animations, as well as the very competent voice acting are a step or two above the norm for indie adventures. Also, the main developer seems like a decent guy, so that's a definite plus. This is one project I wouldn't mind crowdfunding if and when it comes to that.

Quoting: Guestpolitical agendas that go counter to most of their customers' wishes

Most of their customers or the loudest of their customers?

Also, you really can't enjoy a game/story unless it perfectly conforms to your narrow world-view? That's a bit sad.

According to what the poster can be judged as having a "narrow world-view"? C'mon.

If someone gets offended by game design, they're not likely to be the most open-minded person around. Anyway, he didn't seem to mind my turn of phrase. He probably doesn't need you to mind for him.
