Developers of the RPG 'Edge Of Eternity' are still waiting on Unity before supporting Linux

Doesn't look good actually, it's not just Unity they are waiting for, but mesa as well apparently. They say:
Quote- Sparse texture for terrain partial height streaming:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SparseTextures.html
And ARB_sparse_texture (the OpenGL extension) is not even in progress in mesa: https://mesamatrix.net/

Edit: Well... it means that AMD customers won't be able to play this game :(

Excellent! Thanks Liam!

Wow.. Steam needs to restart when changing this simple setting...
Valve really needs to improve Steam **a lot**.

Thx!
I don't intend to change DE/WM at the moment, but it's good to know that it might be linked to a GNOME/GTK 3 issue.

Since recently, when a friend starts to chat with me, the Steam pop-up window minimize my game to show the pop-up. It's quite annoying, especially in the middle of a Dota game.

I don't know if it's since a recent release of Steam (do you have the problem?), or if it's since I updated to Fedora 28 (do you have Fedora 28, and the problem?)

The Steam Link Android app is now out, works quite well so far

QuoteSorry for the terrible picture here, I have poor lighting in my office and no good camera.
Considering the bloom on the picture, I'd say that you also didn't clean the lens on your phone before taking the pic ;)

QuoteQ: If you could go out there right now and work for a company to bring a game to Linux, what would it be?

A: I'd aim bigger and work somewhere bringing more than just one game to Linux

Doom (2016) could have been on Linux, id Software made a Linux version sound easy to do

I can understand iD don't want the burden of supporting a Linux version, but why don't they give this job to Feral Interactive then? It's their job, both iD, Feral and the Linux gamers will be happy about that! It's an f'ing win-win situation.

Just do it already!

@liamdawe I'm wondering, what's the hardware configuration of your server? what is your provider? do you use AWS at all? and how much does everything costs?

I know it's a lot of questions, sorry O:-D
