F1 2016 won't be coming to Linux, as sales of F1 2015 weren't strong enough

Codemasters should really consider releasing their games on GOG, I'm not a wizard so I can't give an estimate how much profitable it would be, but I know the GOG community would be more than happy to throw money at those DiRT-y games.

Personally I'm just waiting for Codemasters to make their move and I'm ready to buy.

Xonotic 0.8.2 released with new maps and numerous new features

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64I'll have to add a package to my SteamOS repo. Forgot about this. I'd rather play this than Ballistic Overkill. Wonder what the play base is like.

A bit dead unfortunately, the quality of this game is right on par with a commercial one in my book.

Wine Staging 2.4 released
23 Mar 2017 at 1:18 am UTC

Guild Wars 2 still has a horrible 15-20fps loss compared to 2.0 staging. Everything else remains unaffected and I haven't noticed any performance differences, good or bad.

Star Citizen to use Vulkan instead of DirectX 12 and drop DirectX 11 eventually

So glad to see more people are adopting Vulkan. Croteam (Serious Sam) have made great performance leaps on Linux and the new Doom has shown us that Vulkan is amazing even with Wine.

If a game such as Star Citizen were to pull off a 1:1 Windows-Linux performance release with Vulkan, I expect it will send a few nudges to other developers.

2Dark released without a Linux version despite promising it during crowdfunding

Judging this thread here [External Link], there will be no DRM-Free versions of any kind either.

The publisher is a straight up close-minded one that thinks Denuvo and DRM is the key to ensure a studio remains in business. I can only say one thing to that, I hope karma gets them.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

Darkest Dungeon for me. It mixes Roguelike, RPG and turn based combat in a single package. The skill and character positioning system is very well implemented and lets you play around with many combinations.

On the technical side, the game is very-veryyyy stable and will run well on almost any potato PC (tested on my Intel N2840 Laptop).

Some thoughts on The Original Strife: Veteran Edition
8 Mar 2017 at 11:55 pm UTC

This was one of those games for me that I started way too many times but never finished when I was a kid. A couple of months ago I finished it for the first time, quite the experience for an FPS/RPG from 1996 I may say.
