Star Citizen, Ryse: Son of Rome, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Homefront: Revolution

Though, all CryEngine IV, not sure if they'll ever see a Vulkan and/or CryEngine V release.

Survival, Shooters, RPGs, FPS, Turn-Based strategy, Simulators, RTS...

All I'm missing is RTS with build-up like good old StarCraft, C&C or similar.

Sad. Wondering what it will be, since that game we certainly will never see for Linux.

Quoting: m2mg2I would really like them to fix the controller issues. Does this update fix the controller problems? Has anyone been able to play the game successfully with a Steam Controller (the controller problems are Linux only)?

Seems to be only on linux, yes.

Maybe because Steam takes a higher rate...

Interesting would be if the controller bug in Linux has finally been fixed.

Had this bug, it came either with an nvidia update or a SoM update.

The "fix" exists for quite some time now, the information for this came from Feral.

Hope they release a permanent fix some day though, for all those who buy it so they don't have to search the Forums.

Quoting: ShabbyXShameless self-advertisement: I also have a couple Linux-oriented tutorials: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/user-submission-vulkan-tutorials-now-up-on-github.7621

Two different things. You aim to get a quick start-through to Vulkan by step-by-step tutorials.

The site rather seems to take the approach "what you want to know, we'll tell you", so more/better structured basically.

IF people join in such a site could become great. If not, the site will die down anyway. Because really interesting would be the different things people learned on implementing certain things in Vulkan. Especially in multi thread handling / draw and rendering handling. That could be highly useful.

Sad. I'm not a huge racing fan and would certainly prefer Dirt Rally, but Project Cars did look pretty promising.

Quoting: liamdaweI don't see what people are getting up in arms about, those are the recommended specs. As in what would take to run it around max level.

There's far more games out there saying they need a lower card yet perform like crap on them, we are just used to games claiming they need low cards for a "recommended" spec.

They will probably change near release too, it's common for games to list weird specifications way before release. Even if they don't change, by the time the game comes out the 980 will be like three years old.

If I learned one thing, recommended ones are mostly the ones we need to play fluently in Linux, exceptions granted (Shadow of Mordor would be one, after the patches of course, but now it is).

I do not have a good upgradeable rig (X51 of Alienware, 320 power supply..). Options are limited, and my cash supply sadly is too.

I know you can test on your fancy things you either get or buy. Try most of the bigger titles with less hardware, and you'll be stunned what you see.

This may be due to OpenGL still being a huge implementation issue which you can burst with better hardware. Fact is, on lower specs, some titles are hardly playable.

You do most tests on 970, nice you got one. Some people do not ;-). I do have hard times getting performance on titles as Talos Principle in certain situations, or even Tomb Raider, Shadwen or XCOM 2. And with performance, I mean higher than 30 FPS so it won't hurt my eyes. I am still running an I7-2600, GTX760 with 8 GB RAM... most more demanding titles are almost unplayable without heavy tweaking.

And I'll just counter the argument which will come: I do have a Win10 installation on the same disk which I hold for lan partys and I tried the titles there - don't try to tease me, but performance IS better there. That's a fact. For me sad, but true, most ports to OpenGL do not have the quality of the Windows equivalent.
