Nice insight into the implementation/learning process of the new API.

Shadow of Mordor on AMD Ryzen CPU suffers from a performance hit due to non-optimal thread scheduling

Wonder if we'll be able to get a patch like Tombraider has got for ryzen?

40% boost they've managed apparently

Quoting: LeopardI wonder about something Liam.

Why you have that game in your library already?

As i can see from your profile , you are not dual booting with Windows too. I can't get it.
Probably from a gift at somepoint, forgot I even had it. Do people really feel the need to query why I own games? Strange.
The pains of being famous :P

Shadow of Mordor on AMD Ryzen CPU suffers from a performance hit due to non-optimal thread scheduling

Quoting: F.UltraWhat's the output from something like cat /proc/cpuinfo |egrep "processor|physical id|core id" | sed 's/^processor/\nprocessor/g' on a Ryzen or FX? Just curios how they tell the system which cores that share the same CCX, which is important to know if you want to optimize your code for architectures such as this.
Prety much as expected by the looks of it

Core 1 does logical 1 & 2 and so on

To stop the stuttering maybe better fixing it to the real cores not the firs 8 or so

Stardock CEO asking to see interest in Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation on Linux with Vulkan

Quoting: Tchey
Quoting: pete910
Quoting: MintedGamerI would definitely buy this game for Linux, there aren't enough RTS games like this any more.
Tbh I've been waiting on a modern Supreme Commander for linux for what feels like an eternity !
According to my reading over the last few months (or years already ?), it's not a modern SupCom, it's not a bad RTS but it's a different taste than TA/SupCom.
I didn't mean as a "new supcom" just in the way it works/plays. Was a big fan of TA/Supcom.

Did you ever check out Planetary Annihilation: TITANS? It is made by some of the same developers from Supreme Commander. I really liked it and it's available in Linux.

As for this game, I posted my support for it yesterday and will definitely buy if released on Linux as it's my only system, and the options in bug titles is limited.
already have it , It's not bad I admit, something don't quite click for me with it. know idea why .

Installation 01, the Halo fan-game that will support Linux has a new trailer

Quoting: razing32This looks too much like Halo.
Wonder what MS and their lawyers will do.
Naff all.

It also resembles the mass of team based FPS games out there too. Halo was the last game it reminded me of tbh
