14 Feb 2016 at 10:34 pm UTC

Quoting: wojtek88
This will be a free update to all Street Fighter V Steam players and will be released this Spring.
Just keep in mind, that Shadow of Mordor was meant to be released Spring 2015. And it was released on 30th of July.

As a very big Linux-friendly company is invalved it might indicate a Vulkan port.

Quoting: ziabiceI already downloaded the Windows version to do comparisons and blame AMD or Feral or both.
That said, those damn QTE are capable of ruining a very good game.
No joke! It took me so long to get past the damned river rapids!
I can remember getting her impaled many times, not a fan of QTE but it went mostly well for me.

Amazon launches Lumberyard, a free game engine that will support Linux and have source access

Quoting: GuestWhat about the tools themselves? Windows only?
As the source is visible for free, you are able and allowed to write your own, and you are most probably allowed to share it.

Quoting: TeodosioIs it free as in 'free beer' or as in 'free speech'?

Tweaking Performance in XCOM 2

Quoting: scaineAnd then find the PoolSize=10 line and change it to something more reasonable, such as 256.
Poolsize issues are quite common with the Feral ports (Spec Ops: The Line eg.), though it is not too hard to get appropriate values by the command line, as described above. Why are the sizes set to values which don't even come near to the minimum settings (1024/4=256>>10) ?

XCOM 2 is so popular it has beaten the all time peak player count of a number of games

Congratulations to the publisher, dev and Feral especially. XCOM 2 is indeed very successful as it has outdone the predecessor by astonishing 500%.

One has to point out that it made it to the top three most played games (on Steam) at the moment, which is very hard to achieve for an non-Valve title.

Feral can now concentrate to other projects :)
My thoughts exactly, Feral will live on and their name won't get tarnished by working on an already terrible game.
Better they do 2 good ports for the price for one bad, hopefully they didn't invest too many man-hours on reviewing the code.

Mad Max looks like it really is coming to SteamOS & Linux after all, another massive game for us

Cool, but maybe Valve is just trolling us with Tomb Raider and Mad Max.

Co-hosts needed for the GOL podcast!

I would suggest you do a competition, as there is much interest.
All participants should submit a minute or so of a game review of their choice (on Linux ofc).
