I read Steam Linux Client had a download bug and to fix it enable beta channel.

No wonder so many mixed reviews when so few people can play this without owning a 2,000$ PC.

The latest Steam Client Beta should fix downloads and updates on Linux

I should dig my Dual Shock 4 out of the car and see if it's improved enough to replace my X360 for FPS.

Side note -- Could porting of Square PC games lead to Final Fantasy 15 & Final Fantasy 7 remake? If so guys buy all the Square games!

Note: AMD GPUs aren't supported. The likely reason is that Mesa doesn't officially have high enough OpenGL support (the new release doesn't officially expose 4.4/4.5 yet), and it may have some performance issues to sort out. - Liam
As mentioned AMD GPUs are not supported on this game however I know there are a number of users who are more technically minded and are running the latest git versions of Mesa so this post is for you. :-) The game runs on the latest Mesa 13 release but it's not at a level where we think we can officially support it (but it's close).

[...]

Official support will come once all the remaining issues are resolved and a supported version of an AMD driver is easily available to end users.

Mortido, an Unreal Engine 4 game about exploring the afterlife, is seeking funding

First reaction to this kind of idea is that anyone who would make such a thing has a disorder of preoccupation with death related to trama.

The whole concept though sure does open up a lot of opportunity for creativity, the language room on the Article looks hella cool.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Linux system requirements revealed, Nvidia only for now

Quoting: libgradev
Quoting: PublicNuisanceYet another reason to kick myself over getting that RX 480 over a GTX 1060 back in September. My GTX 680 is now the minimum haha. Oh well, I'll still be interested in the game.
Hang in there! My RX480's running pretty good on mesa git (Mad Max) :)
Agreed, just because Nvidia Specs are defacto doesn't mean RX 480 on AMD-PRO or MESA-git wont run it, someone around here will volunteer as guinnee pig I guarantee it, and if they do and post bugs fast enough they'll probably get worked out on launch week.

This is fantastic news.

StarForge is a good example of deceptive sales

The latest Steam Client Beta adds native support for the PS4 Dual Shock Controller

Excellent news, Dual Shock 4 is a excellent controller for most genres of games. Also, no more ds4drv which should be nice.

Time for Ferrel to drop in and grab 50-70% and foot the work. Money to be made.
