Quoting: frakswebut i got it for free, as usually is the case with steamplay games,linux/wintel/mac in one go.is there a way on steam to choose only one system?

You can choose which platforms to show on your store front page in your account preferences, and you can filter your games per platform in your library. Is either of those what you mean?

Ahh. This is a proper classic.

Quoting: ImnotarobotThe 390 driver that comes with Ubuntu is horrible. I can't stop the tearing no matter what i do.
It works with 340, but that is old. I think it does not even support Vulkan.

I've had no trouble at all with the 390 series. But you're not the first one to complain here so there must be something to it.

If tearing is your only problem, you could try enabling the Full Composition Pipeline in the Nvidia settings software. This does come with a small performance penalty, but totally worth it in my opinion.

EDIT: Leopard was quicker.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThere has been such a crazy number of 2D action RPGs like this in the last months, it really feels like this specific niche is completely oversaturated.

Maybe it feels like that to someone who's not fond of the genre? I for one can't think of that many good 2D ARPGs on or coming to Linux.

Quoting: GuestSometimes it makes sense if people tried to make sense.

AMD _do_ employ people to fix Mesa.
Valve do as well.

That's not the point. Of course those devs fix bugs from time to time.
But they usually add missing features to Mesa. Their main task is not to ensure product quality.
This is a job someone else has to do but currently there is no one in AMDs team.
Intel team has someone like that,I really don't understand why it is so hard to believe AMD needs someone too.

What are you even talking about?

Of course AMD has people working on driver quality. It's easy to see if you bother checking the mesa git log [External Link]. New features get more news exposure than less exciting bug fixes, but that doesn't mean they're the only thing being worked on or even the main focus of AMD developers.

I am sorry you lost yours. I am still a (happy) C-64 owner.

No need to be sorry. I said I used to own one, but I don't miss the old hardware. Emulators are good enough for me. :)

Quoting: GuestActually, i find this number a bit surprisingly low. No kidding.

I (rarely) check at another forum of C64 nostalgics. There is web survey about our main OSes. Linux is just shy of 20%. A bit above Mac OS. Win scores a near 60%.

Of course it is a subpopulation of old geeks and nerds but so should be the public of GZDoom. Linux is popular amongst such circles.

Two points to consider:

I can see why most of us ex C-64 owners would be "old geeks and nerds", but I'd think there's a bigger chance a Doom fan is still an active gamer and thus more likely to run Windows.

Secondly, of these three operating systems, Linux is most likely to attract the kind of privacy conscious crowd that disallows data collection, anonymous or not. Voluntary web surveys are different.

Quoting: Adamfx990Great! Now will I be able to run it on a 980 I wonder?

I wish I was being sarcastic ><

Is there any reason at all to suspect you won't? Sure sounds sarcastic.

Quoting: [email protected]Page requirements state Windows and DirectX on Steam though.

This is confirmed for Linux?

Yes, as stated in the article. Check the developer quote towards the end for a TL;DR.

I like what I see. And hear. Metroidvanias are definitely my favourite kind of platformers as well, and this one seems to play to the strengths of the genre quite nicely.
