Stunt-bike game 'Urban Trial Playground' released with same-day Linux support
9 Apr 2019 at 10:16 am UTC

Quoting: ElectricPrismWas cheering this guy on when he considered supporting Linux. Just bought a copy now.

If it's a 1 man shop I can overlook some shortcomings and enjoy since I think its the only game like this in this category I own.

You're likely thinking of Wheelz2.

Quoting: michaDoes the demo work for you guys? Crashes for me after `New Game` in the menu..

Direct download or itch client? If you use the itch client, the third option to launch it works.

Quoting: alexbrrsclntThat is the PPA that I have been using for ages since I started to use ubuntu. So then, which is the good one?

The normal PPA is usually the one you want, except in the case of the special vulkan beta drivers which used to be on https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/dev [External Link] but they stopped updating it.

Quoting: GuestDon't call this an JRPG. not only it doesn't have Japanese developers, these kind of themes aren't explored in this way by Japanese developers...because they like fun and unpretentious games.

I will agree it's not really a JRPG, I was going by the developers own description on that and my tired brain didn't think properly there. Title adjusted. As for the theme, I wouldn't box-in an entire country like that.

Quoting: VodkaChicken
Quoting: arzardkAwesome news!

Spoiler, click me
Anyone knows where i can get latest Nvidia 418.49.4 Vulkan drivers for Ubuntu except from the Nvidia site? I know about ppa:graphics-drivers/dev but it seems like this ppa is abandoned since October.
Use the non-dev branch of the ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [External Link]
I've had issues with xorg dying on me randomly with 418.56 though.

This comes up often, that's the wrong PPA which does not include and never has included the vulkan beta driver that's needed. The one that does have them, as the other posts said, seems to no longer be updating.

Quoting: MayeulCYou might want to note the following:

Note: For best performance, both your Wine version and graphics driver must support VK_EXT_host_query_reset. This new extension is available in Wine 4.5 as well as Proton 4.2, and on the following drivers:

AMD / Intel: Mesa 19.1-git
Nvidia: 418.49.4

Without this extension, certain games, such as Quake Champions, may perform significantly worse than with DXVK 1.0!

The driver info was already there, I added a note about QC.

The open source livestreaming and recording software OBS Studio has a new release out
6 Apr 2019 at 9:55 am UTC

Quoting: 14How are you re-using one source for multiple games? The Windows version has a way to stream whatever is full-screen. Are you changing the properties of the source every time you start a new stream or recording?

EDIT: I suppose you might be capturing the entire screen, which I prefer to avoid I guess.

Personally I just change the window capture source each time. Not great but it works.
