AMD RX 480 released, AMD will possibly open up Radeon Software
30 Jun 2016 at 8:52 pm UTC

Quoting: DePingusI had high hopes for these cards, but in light of this impending debacle, I'm going to wait...

tldr;
These cards are drawing way more power from the PCIe slot than they are supposed to.
This sure doesn't look good. Too bad it happens with the first really powerful open source friendly card...

Wow that looks pretty interesting indeed. We need to have some more feedback on compatibility/stability though. But as of now, it's the most interesting option for my next upgrade.

Company of Heroes 2 updated for Linux, adds support for the War Spoils system and fixes other bits

Quoting: omer666I still get the "Can't connect to Relic servers" error. I've been reporting this bug for two versions now and we can't find a solution. The bug seems to exist on Windows too.
Behind a VPN by any chance?
Absolutely not. We even tried connecting through my mobile connection, to no avail. Me and the devs just don't know where it comes from. Even disabling all firewalls and SELinux won't change a thing. I'm more and more thinking it's Relic's servers' fault.

Street Fighter V has passed the initial Linux & SteamOS release window

Either way, Street Fighter V is still pretty much incomplete to this day. Even if it had been ported this spring, I would not spend 50 bucks on this game in its current state. It is sad that Capcom went for this kind of half baked release.

On another hand, there is an SNK Humble Bundle right now, so you can have some real VS fighting fix playing Mark of the Wolf (still the best fighting game to this day).

What are you playing this weekend?

I am trying to complete the first Torchlight but hell, this game is waaaaayyyy longer than it seems. I'm addicted.

Titan Quest RPG could see a Linux version in future

I would definitely buy it if it is ported over.

Quoting: ShmerlI suppose it's the reason why GOG rejected Metro games. Companies which don't fix their bugs are jerks.
What bugs were in the Metro Redux ports? The only problem I had was it didn't like my custom alsa setup. I played through both games and was happy with the performance and stability.
The lack of Vsync, the lack of manual resolution configuration and the gray dots...
Indeed, the linux version of both Redux were abandoned...
The linux version of the original MetroLL works better then the Redux version (at least for me)

About this, it seems there is a failure in the communications between Deepsilver's people.
Aha, I had forgotten most of those issues. Vsync actually worked but the flag was reversed (for me anyway on nvidia). If you had it checked vsync was off, unchecked turned it on.

The gray dots would disappear if you turned off one of the graphical options (tesselation?). I guess an option for manual configuration never bothered me.
The grey dots were ambient occlusion's rendering. I just got used to it and it doesn't bother me at all. Actually, running the game with 2x SSAA already attenuates this a great deal (but I haven't got a strong enough GPU for this yet).

I just sent an e-mail to Techland regarding this. I'll keep you posted on what their reply is.

On another hand, I just spotted something on the Steam forums: some Windows users have been told to contact Techland directly regarding issues with DI: DE. So it makes me wonder: why the heck are they freaking publishers???

Some more on this in a few days, hopefully.
