Steam Audio comes to Unreal Engine 4
4 May 2017 at 10:12 am UTC

Very nice. I didn't even know Valve had something like Steam Audio. Cross Platform Audio is one thing, but that one seems pretty much different. Audio based on physical parameters, materials and geometry ... that has a lot of potential (for saving time during development).

I've played this game quite some, and I disagree with a lot of design decisions. As somebody being very crafting and PvE bound in such games (I do love crafting), you'd think it's a game I'd enjoy.

I don't. It's still very early to judge, but with the path they're going I'm really not seeing it getting a good reception amongst the wider player base. Probably not their goal either, but it will certainly be a very nieche product which will fail to aquire a large playerbase, which certainly is death for every MMO.

Valve should have done this already. A year ago. Why didn't they? I know quite a few games which wiuld have profited by this.

I am really having a time issue. I cant even play through 25 percent of the great games feral, obsidian, inxile and others release. I cant keep up their release speed with my gaming speed..

Odd, thinking a few years back considering what we had back then. Basically nothing except publishers and porters going bankrupt until Valve pulled the switch with steam.

Linux gamers on Arch may want to hold off on updating due to openssl breaking some games (updated)

Quoting: BTRE
Quoting: WorMzyDon't downgrade your openssl package, you'll break everything that now depends on the new soname (including pacman! Well done!).
Not true in this instance. openssl is at its latest version on my system (1.1.0.e-1) and I only downgraded openssl-1.0 to 1.0.2.k-2. No breakage to either pacman or anything else insofar I can tell. This is after rebooting and explicitly checking if I could still install, sync and whatever else with pacman after downgrading. And things like Mad Max and Civ 6 work. You may be right in general about downgrading packages but this is a simple workaround if you're too impatient to wait until they fix this.
So you say it broke between 1.0.2.k-2 and 1.0.2.k-3?

That would be the versioned symbol patch breaking things... which shouldn't be.

Quoting: AsuI wish Bethesda would bring over Skyrim to linux as well.
I have TW1 and will get TW2 as soon as it's on linux.
Uhm, TW2 is on Linux. TW3 isn't.

ops, TW meant Two Worlds, not The Witcher XD.

Game engine 'Construct 3' has come along well during the Beta

Let's see if the bug where you can continue endlessly still exists :D.

Ok, different game.. and those yellow ones racing towards you are a real pain :D.

Cool. Played that through on Windows quite some time ago, but I'm looking forward to the DLCs. It was a pretty nice game.
