Ubuntu 16.04 dropping the AMD Catalyst/fglrx driver
11 Mar 2016 at 2:57 pm UTC

While I usually use the open source drivers I switched to Catalyst recently to play Shadows of Mordor and Divinity Original Sin, both of which dont work with Mesa yet.
On Gentoo its easy to install both drivers in parallel and I have kernels built for both drivers. A simple script and a restart will switch between drivers for me.
The restart is probably not even neccessary if I would build amdgpu as module.

Quoting: BeamboomI can live with that - never was a Batman fan.

Now, let's just hope the same doesn't happen with the promised Witcher 3...
If Witcher 3 doesnt come, I can live with that. I never was a Witcher fan.
Batman OTOH is something I was looking forward to this year.

I was expecting this as the same happened to Pillars of Eternity.
Although I backed both projects and I made sure not to select beta access I am still pretty annoyed by this.

Im "playing" The Stanley Parable atm. Before I started on D:OS but the story turned too wacky too fast for my liking. Besides it only runs on the blobs but Im currently trying to change that.

If you want to play part 1 of the series (The Longest Journey) you will need to use Windows and probably an older version since the game doesnt currently run correctly in wine.
