Hatred, the controversial shooter is now being tested for a Linux port
9 Dec 2015 at 11:53 am UTC

Hatred isnt bad game. Look at users review on Steam. So If people did not protest against Postal, why they have to do with Hatred?

Brutality in games is like in the movies, and somehow, there's no one protests.

BTW.
As to the unavailability Germany is not only game, also Dying Light, Dead Island or Left4Dead2. Well, if in a country ruled by socialists who control it in a socialist EU, it can not be expected to take from them a wise decision. Change your government in Germany, and it will be better - we in Poland already change government and now is much better but old government very complains to the socialists in the EU as a new government is bad, but it's not true. So do you want brutality game? Do you want freedom? Chnge government.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPL@LIAM, could you ask your contact in Techland about fixing performance and graphics issues in Linux with AMD drivers?
Both Techland and AMD released patch/driver that fixed it a while back now
I know, I have big issues with graphics on my AMD and they fix it. But now I come back to game and I see it again...

Quoting: MGOidBugs, bugs everywhere... I bought this in the Black Friday, the game show me a message saying it needs OpenGL 3.3, when I have 4.1 in the free drivers... It keeps crashing no matter what I do to convince it that my hardware meets the requirement... Now you guys say that the multiplayer is broken, so I did the right thing for getting a refund.

This developer is known very its very bugged games, so I will keep away from then. Dead Island still refuses to work with the open source driver. Another case of NvidiaGL for you...
You know, even Valve says that Open source driver is very buggy and OpenGL implementation in Mesa is in many case broken... and writings in wrons specifications. So If any developer porting game and use only official OpenGL spec from Khronos Group, this game can not works correctly in MESA. So developer needed making another tests, wiriting another opengl layer (for mesa) and breaking official specification to support correctly mesa. This is horrible point, even Valve have much issues with this and they not want doing this...

So good point in future is repoting all game beaking bugs to mesa developers. They should fix this.

EDIT: Dead Island for me (Catalyst driver) works like charm, but you need have closed source driver and game installed on ext4 filesystem.

Leak: AMD's new driver will apparently offer much better performance on Linux

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLOh... AMD drop support for my GPU :/ Now HD5000 and 6000 is unsupported... Thanks AMD...
Strictly speaking, this release does support the HD6000, but it's the last one to do so. I highly recommend switching to r600 drivers unless you really need something that only the blobs support. r600 is more stable, is comparable for performance (some things worse, some actually better, but generally very close now) and tracks better against kernel and xorg updates.
Im trying it, not allow to install - error - unsupported hardware. R600? Hmm Im testing it also but performance in my game is much worse than on Catalyst and few games even not want start or have graphics corruptions :/
