Quoting: EikeJust read the same on Steam [External Link], how often are you posting it?

And who wants 5000$ from you?
It's his first post. An aspiring troll, perhaps.

The open source Vulkan driver for AMD 'radv' now supports using multiple GPUs

Quoting: liamdaweMore than happy to answer that!

Someone on reddit claimed i was "ripping off phoronix" so I decided to close that off once and for all and show a shot of it in my own personal inbox: http://m.imgur.com/a/bClKd [External Link]

Public mailing lists are easy to follow.
Thanks for your answer. I was wondering whether there's some rivalry going on by copying articles without sourcing, good to know it's not the case (at least from GOL side) :-)

@liamdawe I'm noticing quite a few articles which are very similar to the ones Phoronix publishes (almost simultaneously). I'm wondering whether GOL is sourcing Phoronix, or Phoronix is sourcing GOL, or whether it's just a coincidence and both sites are following the same origin (in this case, mesa-dev list, git repo, etc)? Because none of the sites add a source to the other in any of the articles. I'm not trying to imply anything or mean something ill, I'm just genuinely curious.

Mesa patched to help render The Witcher 2 correctly on radeonsi

Quoting: buenaventuraI did turn everything possible off, as in I played at 800x600, all draw distances minimum, EVERY SETTING minimum including all the ones in config files, and it was playable until the dwarwen city, but that place is just too full off useless fires and shiny stuff :<
You probably already know this, but there's a LowSpecGamer channel on YouTube that contains useful tricks how to make new games run on very slow systems. For Witcher 2:

Valve are looking to gather a list of games that don't work with radeonsi

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare used to work quite ok, now it freezes in the main screen every time.
Screencheat often freezes in the main menu, but not every time. The sound continues to play, though, might be a game bug.
Magicka 2 shows graphical artifacts when taking damage.
Anomaly Warzone Earth never properly started for me (infinite loading), now when I try it it even freezes my desktop (but can kill it from a VT).

Fedora 25, mesa-dri-drivers-13.0.2-2.fc25.x86_64, llvm-libs-3.8.0-1.fc25.x86_64, Radeon R9 270

The original 'POSTAL' is now open source under the GPL

Well, it would be better to specify that the engine is opensource, but not the assets. Then it would be clear. If you don't specify it, most people assume it's fully opensource.

And yes, opensource doesn't mean free, but only the first one would need to pay and then could share it for free, so there's not much point in such an approach.
