So basically, we will end up with dev's coding to suite NV hardware again ?

Wasn't Kronos making sure that all the tools are available out the door on release of the final spec?

Just hangs on start-up with me, maxis 1 core out. Left it a while to see if it was building shaders or whatever but no, just hung I guess.

Why has everyone gone off TS, I quite like it, Easy to use, works well. server setup is simple and works across all PC platforms! I don't get the problem with it.

Planetside's 2 voip is somewhat of an overlooked gem to me. Been able to shout to people near for ammo/health and what not is/was damn handy. As well as squad/platoon chat.

Natural Selection 2 has a major update, the Linux experience is quite terrible

Well just gave this a go on the AMD prop driver, Runs fine! They have certainly improved it since it went community driven/run

Makes a change with NV having issues and not AMD :P

Though it might not be driver/graphics related

Guys, there's a reason why it's late. It's been stalled! Same as dx12 take up. Remember all the hype for dx12. Now next to nothing.

All of a sudden Nvidia are throwing cash at no end of AAA devs to sponsor them. Seen any tout dx12 as the main thing? Anyone think that odd?

Well see both Vulkan and DX12 games on mass on or around NV's next releases . ;)
