Compare Windows gamers to Linux gamers when a bug hits...

Windows : there's a bug f-ing fix it or I sue.

Linux : there's a bug, here's what's needed to get round it, want a hand fixing it?

I'm not getting the green screen with the latest patch, could it be your video drivers? I'm using the 390.48 nvidia drivers.

BATTLETECH to launch in April, Linux version will be 2-3 months behind

Quoting: Mountain Man"Linux version will be 2-3 months behind"

That kinda sucks, because it seems like it's too easy for Linux versions to go from "delayed" to "cancelled".
At least it's not 2-3 years behind like most ports have been, we need to convince developers that releasing a Linux port sooner is better for them & their bank balance.

The developers of fan-made Halo game 'Project Contingency' have decided not to support Linux

It's long overdue that the message got to developers, Windows is the platform of choice for Pirates, Linux gamers pay for their games.

Looks good, although anyone who has played games for more than a couple of years will see the obvious twist in the story coming a mile off, I haven't played it yet & I can see where the story is going to go towards the end of the game, unless the devs pull a double bluff & don't do the obvious. ;) I'm looking forward to seeing whether I'm right or not.

Quoting: inlinuxdudeSo, I'm confused, do you permanently get it as part of your Steam Library, or can you just download it during this free period?
Once you click that button it's yours forever.

Well that explains why the Necrons aren't in Dawn of War 3, looks like I'll be buying more Warhammer stuff this year. :D

Quoting: lucifertdarkThe only reason I keep Windows around is for Lightroom as it sucks in Wine.
Have you tried Darktable? I've never used Lightroom so I can't say how well it compares, but for me it's more than enough.
Thanks for the reminder about Darktable, I tried it a couple of years ago & wasn't impressed at the time, I'll have to install it & see if things have improved since then.
