Intel announce a new CPU with AMD graphics and HBM2 memory
6 Nov 2017 at 4:34 pm UTC

A dream comes true. I hate that all laptops with decent graphics capabilities came with nvidia. I was looking for a model with intel + amd or amd + amd for quite some time, but nothing suited me.

If they make this true, I'll have to get myself a new laptop. Finally.

Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry is to get a new patch, but not for Linux

I liked the game, for me it was engaging and fun.

Despite that I still can't see the difference between Ravens Cry and Vendetta (both suffer the exact same issues including speech synchronization, animation, storyline bugs etc., no differences at all).

Sad was that I always get stuck on a certain storyline bug, so I never could complete the game. This was never fixed, and by now I doubt it will be fixed. This was not just pointed out by linux gamers, but windows as well. Some say it's a savegame bug, but I started from scratch like 10 times, and always got stuck on the same point. I have doubts that only I run into a storyline bug which is random 10 times in a row, so I very likely manage to "reproduce" the deadlock for some reason (the quest was Looking for the Mercenaries, the body was simply gone after I killed the two or three mercenaries, I don't remember that, so I couldn't loot the body).

The developer also states they have staffing issues, so issues to find OGL developers for the Linux/MacOS port. And that's not uncommon.

Looks like a nice game.
I'll wait for a sale and buy it, to try if it's working properly with my AMD card (I'm on mesa 17.2.3 atm).

And no, I didn't buy the wrong graphics card, still have a GTX1050 in the shelve, I just don't use it ;-).

Mount&Blade Warband, since they fixed some bugs in Mesa/LLVM which kept me from continueing my mission to become queen of the land. The time is ripe.

According to netmarketshare Linux hit 6.91% market share last month, higher than Mac

Enjoy the picture. That will have to be reviewed and will change. The percentages off for the windows versions is as well way off, and I don't see 5 % of Win10 users migrating back to Win7. There wasn't any real issue with Win10 the past month which could have triggered that.

I'm guessing they fucked up either their data or report and have to review it now.

Thanks, done with it.

Game developer 'Atlus' issues a DMCA takedown against open source PS3 emulator
28 Sep 2017 at 12:43 am UTC

The PS3 emulator itself is not infringing on our copyrights and trademarks; however, no version of the P5 game should be playable on this platform; and [the RPCS3] developers are infringing on our IP by making such games playable”
Nope. Wrong. Developers are not infringing the IP by making the game playable, because they did not use any of the IP. They neither use nor distribute the IP of Atlus. Sony, by american law, could probably go after them. Atlus has a almost-to-zero chance in curt.
