Descent2.. Sensible Soccer.. sadly only chrome and says it does not support my mobile (which is android 10 april patches with chrome).

Well, maybe if they support a linux native app or Firefox.

The idea is great, the license deals will be easy and the tech for old games in browsers is basically a non-issue today.

Quoting: SolarwingTesla?I have some suspicions. Does Elon Musk fund gol.com with a couple million of dollars? Or is this fake news?
Only master(Liam) knows the truth. Well what I'm talking about? This was a nightmare joke of course!:happy: Jokes aside. It will be very interesting what Tesla will come up with. Hopefully we see it benefitting linux gaming greatly. Maybe the future Tesla will have a gaming centre too!Hardly but one can only dream of it....:smile:

Reading. Or sleeping more likely.

I'll want caution. Badly implemented vulkan is worse than OGL. Or worse than d3d9 through proton.

Valheim proves that. D3D9 > OGL > DX11 > Vulkan..

Vulkan is a great framework if used properly. If.

I do not like subscriptions, even though I do have one for EA since I figured it will be cheaper than actually buying the titles I wanted to play, and since they do not have a huge replay potential it's good value for money.

But I prefer the traditional model. I fear that subscription models would end up hurting the smaller developers in favour of the big players on the field.

And while a huge success on certain platforms for sure, I can not see them actually generating more money for single devs with a lets say 10 dollar subscription. I think most gamers spend more than 120 dollars / year on games. I do, and I do not count myself as one who plays a lot.

Been looking for a small PC with ryzen and amd graphics which is as silent as possible under load.

I have to build one on my own, but good luck getting your hands on graphics cards at the moment....

Quoting: WorMzyWorks fine on AMD here (>77 hours and counting), although I use the OpenGL version since the vulkan one is stuttery (or was, I haven't tested it in a while, also haven't tested amdvlk, just mesa/radv).

I use
 
mesa_glthread=true %command%
as the launch options, which was recommended by a GoL user.

Hmh, and if you do change settings it actually saves them?

GPU whise the linux version is alot less optimized though (brings my 580 to the limit it seems - i use glthreada ofc).

I wanted to replace the card with a 5700, but at the current market it's simply not possible...

Anyone else having issues with the game?

I have the problem that the settings in game will not save, and huge performance issues on AMD with Vulkan and OpenGL (works ok in Wine). But wine somehow fails to capture the pointer when building, so I have to to tab out and in again to make it work.

Anyone got workarounds for those?

I personally think a 30 percent cut is high in todays time especially with the budgets, pricing and amount of players/sales generated nowdays.

That said, it's not as if they do not provide a service. It would only be problematic in my eyes if they did actively prevent the developers to distribute on other stores.

If there is no competition with better pricing and a good user base, that's hardly Valves fault. And it's not as if their cut went up, it was always there.

And ... an app like Steam is not tremendously hard to make, especially for big players. That they do not succeed to compete has other reasons. And if the big players wanted they could unite and do a platform, distribute their titles for free there and allow others for a 10 percent cut to distribute on their platform.

Allow steam keys for games to be imported for free, make the pricing better than on steam, there you go, you do have a competitor.

Nobody is willing to do that, everyone who creates stores wants the cash cow business for themselves, sells at the same price as steam or only a little bit below that, and has 25-30 percent cuts on games not from them too, and therefore does not succeed. Since I will not switch either if another platform has no reasonable advantage for me as user, neither will developers.

Seems to have introduced some fresh issue in Solus (https://discuss.getsol.us/d/6667-wine-66-breaks-cant-load-dlls/4). May be caused by the actual fix to the issue mentioned above.

Oh, Alan leaving. Will be interesting where he shows up again. I can see that there are few challenges at Canonical more and more becoming only a distributor for guys like him. Innovating is less of a topic now, more maintaining.

I'm sure he found something interesting. We'll see end of the month on which shore the tides washed him up.
