What really impresses me, they're basically having all their games on their newer engines. I know no company who ports their games from engine to engine but Croteam.
Either they've designed the engines extremely well from the start up to make it not too complicated, or they're really investing a lot of time even in their old titles.

Uhh, AMD support again <3. I'm regretting less and less switching.
Though, still having issues due to my RX460 probably being a bit .. "too new" and a lot of distros don't support it properly due to old kernels etc. :D.

- Support for Vulkan API (DirectX9 is now being removed; so long and thanks for all the bugs):D .. a typical Croteam comment.

Let applications enable/disable threaded gl in Mesa? It'd be as simple as it sounds.

Yeah, means it will very likely run on my RX460.
Mesa developer Marek is looking to finally sort out threaded GL dispatch

Well, that will help. Or will not help (a lot). As somebody of Feral in example replied there - they do gl treading in their, how may i call it ... "porting layer"? I'd guess most games and engines which have bigger performance requirements already did some kind of their own threaded gl.

Oh damn holy shit. I was really hoping for that one to arrive on Linux some time since they ported other games of Codemasters already. That's a must buy for me.
Finally a rally game. Can't believe it. And a that good one ... cross platform MP... and with Feral behind there can't go much wrong.
Thanks Feral! And of course Codemasters for letting them do that, they own the IP (and I'm sure they'll get some profit too). Still an unusual business model this porting business.
Hopefully everyone wins on that. Codemasters. Feral. And of course we Linux gamers will win a great game.
<opens wallet and wants to buy>... oh damn! Not march the 2nd yet :-(.

I have a huge issue with Obsidian. They put out games faster than I can play them. Not even through the whole white march yet (at more than 400 hours playtime :D .. most of it spent on the original release though)... I don't have to mention that I didn't even start playing Tyranny yet.
But ye, of course I pledged...
