Quoting: coryrj19951hmm... anyone getting this [External Link] or this [External Link] error, or know how to fix it? And it segfaults when I press play from the main menu.Looks like a driver problem, what are you running the game on?

In fact I have no problem whatsoever with these post-processing effects. I think it can be used in a creative way, and in Alien: Isolation I think it adds to the lo-fi horror of the game.
In Dying Light, the film grain effect made me instantly think about some old evil horror film and to me it's okay if you consider the overall mood of the game, the problem is that it doesn't work that well outdoor. Having an option for it is always welcome, though.
But I don't think it is welcome in a competitive FPS...
[EDIT]OK in fact I didn't read the link above before posting, where A:I is actually listed as an exception.

Yes I meant it's not mainline, indeed.

For me last patch brought better performance, but this new patch doesn't. Well I won't complain, and I don't have a Windows partition to compare it to. I'm quite happy with it.

Wine Staging is not an official build and integrates patches that the official version doesn't include yet. That's how they got to integrate CSMT in the first place.
The CSMT patch used with Staging is becoming incompatible because CSMT is in the process of being included upstream. So actually, as soon as upstream Wine finishes working on CSMT, you will get it back and enabled by default.

Quoting: edono future support for CSMT its definitely bad news, that sucksYou must have misunderstood what is actually happening.

On another hand, do we really need to rely on those companies? Sure their games sell by millions, but they have been using the same old formula for so long that another company could very well take their place with something new. And if this something new runs on Linux...

Quoting: ZeloxI belive Both Blizzard and EA have stated they want to support Linux.Their recent statements about Linux prove quite the contrary. Also, there's still no proof the WoW client was not a fake.
Blizzard even hade a linux beta client for wow vanilla.

Serious Engine 1 Linux source code is coming

I think I heard the games could not be completed and the First Encounter one runs way too fast on modern hardware.

Quoting: clelSo the games were already ported in 2002? Why these versions are not available on Steam?Ports weren't complete, they were struck in beta state.
Also I hope that Croteam releases those ports on Steam, if possible, so people can enjoy their games without much effort.

Quoting: valguskI think releasing source is much better then official port.While your point is completely valid, it seems that the trend nowadays is towards faithful ports or bug-fixing only developement. But I could be wrong. I hope I am ^_^
first, you get to polish it for as long as you want
second, you can have android version :D
thrid, remember berserker quake2, quake 2 evolved, tenebrae, darkplaces? well, I can imagine that at least one enhancement like this (might be vulkan) will land here too.
Viva la open source!
