BioShock Infinite Patch Solves AMD Processor Lock-ups
9 Jul 2015 at 11:36 am UTC

Quoting: FredOAfter a short test I can say that the AMD CPU lock-ups seemed to be solved with the patch. It was crashing every minute before, so I could hardly get out of the main menu. There are still missing textures with the Catalyst 15.2 driver on a HD 5770 - I haven't tried any newer driver yet.
Could you post a picture to steam so we can see what the problem with the textures is?
As I pointed in my previous post, I'd say my rendering is OK...

Quoting: jsa1983I played for a long half an hour yesterday and indeed I didn't experience any freezes like I used to have like every 20 min or so. FPS is quite stable for me. Catalyst 15.7.
What GPU you use? Maybe some with HD 5000 or HD 6000 series? As I know, this gen cards have bug in Catalyst drivers (we see only missing textures in Bioshock). SO maybe AMD in new driver fixed this?
It's a Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition on Kubuntu 14.04.02 64 bit. Hmm I've tried the game with previous drivers (namely 15.3, and Omega - 14.12. Probably others too) and the game renders properly. I don't miss any textures (I have almost everything set to the best quality). I'll try to give it a run and see if I can post some pics on steam so you can judge by yourself. The performance with those previous drivers was quite good and so is it with 15.7. It's just the random freezes that didn't enable me to play for a long time.

Quoting: liamdaweI was going to say that's probably them being optimistic, but they probably have a lot of inside confirmations from demoing their device to developers. So, I shall remain optimistic on this one.
Yeah, probably... But hey, it's also Friday :)

Loved that comment :D

Europa Universalis IV: Common Sense Released
9 Jun 2015 at 4:00 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: Mountain ManI keep buying Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II expansions even though I barely have time to play either game right now. I keep thinking that I want the games to be as complete as possible when I finally do have the time to really play them. That and I feel the need to reward Paradox for being such a consistent supporter of Linux. Is that silly or what?
If you feel better... I'm doing the same :)
Plus that is also a way to thank Paradox for their Linux support (which is great).
Really looking forward to playing EU IV with the latest DLCs (last time I played was about 3-4 months ago).

Time To Give Up On A Linux Version Of The Racer Gas Guzzlers Extreme
21 May 2015 at 9:59 am UTC

Quoting: titiSo far thats what happend to all racing games for Linux ..... its so sad, none of them wants my money.

Is there any racing game that will really come to linux? I don't think so, all I see are announcements.
My exact feelings. My wallet is eagerly wating good driving/racing sims (ETS2 is a great game, though). Feeling so tempted to buy Project CARS to play it on windoze... Lord, lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil....

Love the tunnel feature. It will help de-congesting the cities and going through mountains.
