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.

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.

this will be a free to play title with micro-transactions

Thanks, done with it.

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.

Ahh, Hitman :-). Yea, that ran a bit crappy here.

For TW2 it worked wonders.

Good I didn't buy it early. Was looking forward to that one. Sad it isn't coming, but it sounds like they've plans for another project and couldn't get the ports done in time.

I've looked a bit closer at this, and it seems that Feral / games with this issue use glibcs hwcaps to determine the architecture. Formerly, it reported x86_64 on all x86_64 platforms, and seems to have moved on to reporting either haswell or xeon_phi (side-note, for x86 it reported i386, i486, i586, i686, so managing different x86_64 platforms actually makes sense on a long-run).

Not sure if we can lay that out as ABI break, but it seems very much like it, since it used to report something different from 2.25 to 2.26.

Fact is, I'm a not so sure if it's wise to rely on hwcaps for determining the target platform, or in other words, rely on it to determine the path for your platform specific libraries.

It should be pretty easy to fix for Feral if they want to, but they'd have to do that for all their games...

But doing getconf LONG_BIT or uname -m seems more reliable than going for glibcs hwcaps which can be subject to change on new architectures.

Hmh, nice to hear of that, but I did not cross a EA Game in the past years I'd have wanted to buy. Maybe DA:I, but DA2 somehow got me off that sequel...

EA is huge, and if they are, as Blizzard was known to be, having an internal client for Linux to see when they can support it officially and actually being able to calculate costs behind porting that's still positive.

I put my bet somehow on snaps + when Vulkan on all drivers has grown major that they'll start calculating.

Origin is written in Qt, porting that one probably wouldn't be a huge undertaking.

Yeah, it's very likely that it's chromebooks which change the market share. It's becoming popuplar in the US. My best guess is that we've a quite stable number of linux users (~1.5-1.6 % marketshare), and that chromebooks account for about the same number, if not even more.

That would clarify as well why steam sees quite stable numbers on Linux while the marketshare is rising by a lot - there is no steam on chromebooks.
