Local Co-op

It does sound like a good launch title for the Steam Machines

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOf course one of my favorite games gets an expansion just as I won't be able to play for a week. I look forward to it however.

I completely understand. Just gone on holidays after I bought it :(

For windows they distributed the build to all the computers available in the company while for the linux build they might not have or not on the same number of machines. They don't say but it could be one of the explanations why the make was so much longer.
Also 2 dev for 4 months, it does not sound very expensive to port the game to Linux.

Lastly it would have been nice to know why they decided to do the port.

I assume that the dev you are in contact with, is the first guy as he seems to enjoy Linux. The other one used Windows while doing the port to Opengl.

It would surprise me, I believe DayZ is much more popular, it would make more sense to test the water with it (?)

Quoting: TheReaperUKSo last night i played in co-op mode and then the crashing/Quit to desktop started, so i think the crashing may be linked to network mode/online play, i've not tested Be the zombie yet.

Was planning to play it in co-op with my wife, will have to pass :(

A bit confused by this question:
Did you exclusively buy Linux-supported games last month?
I answer no to it as I did not buy any game at all, but I only buy Linux game anyway

Quoting: neowiz73yeah I've been so excited for Vulkan, it really is the future of gaming period. the first test I seen Nvidia do showed rendering time of 330 ms down to 9ms from current OpenGL to Vulkan. and the overall power consumption of CPUs was lower by 79% from drivers that were written in a few hours and where not optimized yet. The rendering time is approx. 3200% better than before. This is why even integrated GPUs will actually be able to run more mainstream games. Can't wait for this to be implemented in distros.

My understanding is that as it is closer to the "metal" there is less room for optimisation. The optimisation will need to be done game side or engine side instead.

The main advantage for Vulkan (and DX12) is that the driver a easier to develop because of this and less buggy. For the developer, it will be more complicated BUT he will be able to understand better what is going on under the hood.

Hopefully that will be the end of driver optimisation per game (and the end of GameWorks ?) which are a big mess

Quoting: ntfwcI'm a bit surprised other game news sites haven't picked it up yet.

I am surprised that the video came out that late when the other debconf videos have been out for something like 2 weeks.

The quality of the audience's question is ... questionable

Quoting: OrkultusI dont see how it took them so long, when using that Unity empty Project exec with the 7 days to die data files worked very well for me. I had no crashes, and no performance issues.

Exactly

Quoting: n30p1r4t3The full video of the interview, it's really interesting. And long. (Not really about Linux)

I was searching for that video, very informative.

Thank you
