Happy bithday, Liam!

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: subImho, this would be really interesting to get a good idea of issues with the porting process and what's actually going wrong with Catalyst. But from my experience companies do not want to share this kind of information. :(

More likely it's AMD that does not want these details public. Software developers generally do not want to piss off HW manufacturers, at least if they need their support or driver bugs fixed.

Well, I'd say there's nothing to lose for developers and porters to share their experience in detail.
If AMD would be able to put them under pressure - by means of not helping quickly to solve issues - I would agree with you. But since we know this is not happening, obviously...

We have said stuff: mainly thank you for being so patient, because it really is appreciated. We can't really go into deets, though. Stay tuned, and all that. Stay tuned.

That really makes you wonder. If he can't go into details then it almost makes it sound like the delay is business related rather than technical, because surely they'd be able to tell us if it was a technical issue.

Why do you think details of technical issues is something they like to share?
This is not my experience.

For example, I as an AMD user, would really like to get some detailed information about Catalyst-specific issues. As you might know it's mainly a performance thing. Kind of: "this GL-function gives us headaches, because it behaves like <issue-here> and not as expected <short-description-here>".

Imho, this would be really interesting to get a good idea of issues with the porting process and what's actually going wrong with Catalyst. But from my experience companies do not want to share this kind of information. :(

Quoting: melkemindI'm guessing WB is cracking down on their porting contractors and will probably put Feral's Shadow of Mordor through extra quality assurance testing to avoid another Arkhan Knight fiasco.

From the recent FAQ change it doesn't sound like it will be a smooth experience for "us" AMD users.

Glad, we now have the Steam Refund policy.
I can give it a try and get my money back in case of abysmal performance.

That's not Evolve but ARK: Survival Evolved which is already available on Linux afaik.

They changed the (WIP) Shadow of Mordor FAQ:

http://support.feralinteractive.com/docs/en/shadowofmordor/latest/linux/faqs/ [External Link]

AMD graphics cards are not currently supported by Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

If you wish to play the game using an AMD graphics card, you should update your graphics driver to AMD Catalyst version 15.7 or higher. You should be able to run the game without experiencing stability issues or graphical glitches, but you may still experience poor performance.

Previously it said something like "AMD and Intel graphics card are currently not supported".
This has been replaced with the part above recently.

No need to hurry. The best hunters approach slowly and carefully.
I can wait.

It looks nice but if it plays like "Myst" I'm out.
Simply hated Myst back in the days.

Quoting: sub

Quoting: Keyrock

Quoting: NyamiouThat was easy. There is a book called "1001: Video Games You Must Play Before You Die", on the back cover there is Lara Croft. It's a Tomb Raider!!!

The reboot? Ugh. I mean it would be a great get for Linux as it's a big name game and very popular, but I hated that game with a passion.

Hmm, don't think it has anything to do with Tomb Raider.

The upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider is XBox exclusive (at least for quite some time) and the current one is already available for Mac and, thus, does not fit the hint related to an unannounced Linux and Mac port.

Just read that "Rise of the Tomb Raider" will see a spring release 2016 on PC.
So my argument does not hold.

I liked the current Tomb Raider. Would certainly buy RotTR if it gets a Linux/SteamOS release.

Quoting: MamboThe other game he's referring to is Wizorb, right? I got it with HIB6 (Linux average was 15$ or so), but it didn't hook me at all. It was a later addition to the bundle anyway. I preferred Jamestown and Rochard.
Looking at his Twitter bio (https://twitter.com/jfmaj0r), he's worked on way more popular games.

I really liked Wizorb.

BTW, is there a way to get a Steam key for Wizorb via HIB6?
Now that it is on Steam, it would be great to add it to my library
but back then it was only available as stand-alone download.
