Quoting: pete910The fact you have 4 kids is irrelevant to the question! Plus the fact I'm in the same boat, kids/mortgage ect.

Irrelevant huh ? I'm sure your kids and the social services will be glad to hear that them being fed and clean and having school furnitures doesn't have priority over new shiny rig ...

Don't even bother to answer.

But I will answer, Having children is only relevant to ourselves, so yes in the eyes of the world/corporations it makes no difference what you or I, the guy down the street does . That is what I am getting at.

Seen as you apparently know A my financial situation and B How my kids are looked after I will part educate you.
AS for my children, They are fine as I planed for them like a responsible parent should do!

My daughter Has just recently moved out and purchased her own property and doing well, My eldest son has just secured a apprenticeship on the local Power station and is currently aiming for a engineering degree. So I guess I must have made sure that the "social services" and "schooling" have been taken care of :whistle:

Now I will make assumptions on your life/choices.

May be you would have been better off researching and practicing birth control rather than spending on shiny shiny and games !

Quoting: TheRiddickMaybe people should make sure they can afford kids before having them also? :)

Not like the planet is running out of people anytime soon is it?

Steady, no room for logic in here :D

Quoting: pete910In what universe is a Haswell and a 970 classed as a supercomputer today :huh:

And to be fair I don't think anything lower from NV supports Vulkan

In the world of a daddy with 4 kids short on many things counting money who didn't plan on buying a new rig before a year or two because short on money and kids come first ...

Didn't have too much thinking to do to come up with a receivable answer here...

A I5 4590 wasn't exactly blowing benchmarks on release let alone to days CPU's

Quoting: tuubiNvidia supports Vulkan on the GeForce 600 series and up.

Wasn't sure how far back the NV series but had the maxwell line stuck in my head

Quoting: GuestToo bad the system requirements are pretty steep.... It requires a supercomputer to run. A Haswell quad core, 8gb ram, and an Nvidia GTX 970 (!!!!) as MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.... Seriously? A freaking 970 is considered "minimum"? And to think it is Vulkan-only... Imagine if it was D3D11/OpenGL....

By the way for the people mentioning Star Citizen, Star Citizen is vaporware. It will never be released, and even if it will, it will be Garbage. The writing is on the wall... X4 just can't be worse than this...

X3: Reunion, X3: Terran Conflict and X3: Albion in that order though personally X3:R is still the best one followed by Albion Prelude.

X£:r has the Extended mod on steam too which gives you extended starts ect

Quoting: KelsI tried to play X3: Reunion, and it was utterly unplayable due to a rolling bug that set my ship spinning unless I actively held it in place. It was reported to the devs by a number of people, but to the best of my knowledge never fixed.

Hopefully they're a little more responsive with this one.

Have LOT of hours in X3:r and never had this issue!

Think i'd be unplugging any game pads/sticks and seeing if it still happens

Quoting: pete910Wonder if this will fix Dying light for non *butu users ?

And before anyone chimes in with " you just need to add..." They don't work!

DL wasn't working on Ubuntu 18.04 with Mesa 18.1, but using Mesa 18.2RC made it work (for me and many others, I think). So, try to test it and share your results.

I thought the problem with DL was with the new version of glibc?

Arrrh that's right, damn!

Just tried with the Arch testing packages.... No go.
I'll look into it a bit more, time permitting.

Looks like it is a glibc issue. :'(

The constant bitching about DLC makes me laugh and a little sad, There's nothing forcing people to by the DLC and the base game is still good.

Funny how a few years ago we were all moaning about no games on linux to moaning about DLC!

On a side note, the DLC is still playable without purchase in a multiplayer game if the host has the relevant DLC!

Have over 400 hrs in it, 99% spent in multiplayer and cant fault Paradox for the continued support and on our platform too!

And yes I have all the DLC, why you may ask, Because I enjoy the damn game!!!!!
