As AMD user I'll most likely have to play it under Windows.
No, Linux is not at 1900 games on Steam, we didn't get 100 games in nine days

Talos Principle & Serious Sam 3 getting Vulkan updates, Serious Sam 4 will be on a much improved engine

It will be very interesting to see if Vulkan can make these games, in particular SS3, run on a 7950 from zero to hero.
However, it's not clear 7950 will get Vulkan on Linux at all, AFAIK. :/

Quoting: linuxgamerFor me Talos and Serious Sam 3: BFE had a quite low performance. Talos went well as there is very few time depending action, but it was not possible to play a FPS like SS3, so I preferred to get a refundExactly - minus the refund.

Quoting: GuestRight, in that regard you cannot trust anyone promising anything. :DQuoting: subA "promise" back then means nothing until it's actually released.Quoting: GuestBest we can hope for is that Valve release the intel drivers they modified for testing Vulkan.That's what Valve promised.

Saints Row IV now available on SteamOS and Linux

Is it just me or is eON/VP-ported stuff looking differently than the windows games?
Despite the lower graphical settings required (because the ports are usually not performing well on my AMD setup), the output looks like it is actually rendered at a lower resolution and then upscaled afterwards.
Hard to explain but the output is blocky beyond what to expect from the resolution and this seems to be consistently the case for all eON games I have - Witcher 2, Dirt Showdown and Saints Row IV.
Can anybody confirm this or is it just my imagination?
Edit: Or maybe this could be a Volkswagen-like AMD-specific code path to make it playable on those GPUs at all? #conspiracy
Edit2: Too much paranoia. Game looks perfectly the same on windows. But there it runs perfectly smooth at least.

Runs slow with a Radeon 7950, Catalyst 15.11, at the rather low standard settings 1280x960.
Graphical corruptions on character polygon edges are present.
Even the scroll text in the menu stutters.

Humble NEOGEO 25th Anniversary Bundle, almost all games available for Linux

I remember the 90s when a Neo Geo was extremely expensive,
especially the cartridges which featured extremely big memory for that time.
Far out of reach - for me. :)
That's a very nice bundle!
