Did you play the original or the remaster/re-release? They actually made some of the more frustrating parts easier IIRC.
Rerelease. Still annoying.
When did this remaster happen? I played the first linux port from humble, iirc
That's the re-release. Remaster might be a strong word here, but if I remember correctly, it supports more resolutions than the original with some assorted tweaks here and there.

In my opinion Psychonauts' charm and innovative design easily offset its quirks. The new game being a very direct sequel is as good a reason as any to (re)visit the original.

Maybe not for full price if you're not sure, but it regularly goes for 90% off at itch.io, GOG, Steam and Humble.

Took me a while to remember that yes, I am indeed using the open source drivers as of a week ago.

It may be old, and it's not Dirt Rally 2, but I don't care. I'll definitely buy it anyway.

Instructions for claiming your key are at the end of the article.
So will the key be automatically sent to me?
What happened when you clicked the blue "click here to claim" text?

Of course, if you signed up just for this less than 24 hours ago, you'll have to wait for a bit. As the article explains.

Egosoft to launch X4: Foundations on November 30th, hopefully with a Linux beta build
25 Nov 2018 at 8:55 am UTC

Quoting: ShmerlInterestingly, their system requirements list Vulkan for the Windows version: https://www.gog.com/game/x4_foundations [External Link]

Minimum: Nvidia GTX 780/970 or AMD equivalent (Vulkan support required)
Recommended: Nvidia GTX 1070 or AMD equivalent (Vulkan support required)


Though funny that they didn't bother to specify what the AMD equivalent is. That's not very user friendly.
You're right, this is too common. I'm sure they've tested on AMD, but this kind of makes you think that they haven't. I'd assume an RX 570 should be close to a GTX 780/970?

The Steam Autumn Sale is live, with some epic deals going
25 Nov 2018 at 8:44 am UTC

Quoting: FredOThe first 3 are going for just 5€. Hair Works is not working with Nvidia 415 driver in the Witcher 3. I understood that they fixed that, but I lost track in which driver version?
You'll need the Vulkan developer beta driver [External Link] 396.54.09 for VK_EXT_transform_feedback. On Ubuntu you can get it from this PPA [External Link].
