Chat? As far as I know, Rocket League only has a handful of standard messages (like "Good shot!") to select from. Is there any mention of a full chat feature that I missed?
There's a dedicated in-game chat in the menus though outside of games, and in-game (at least on PC) you can still talk normally too with text on top of the quick-chat options. With a cross-platform party system, it would make sense if a console player could chat normally too with a PC player.

I would assume using each console's built in on-screen keyboard. Will have to wait and see exactly how it will work.

There's a new release candidate of OBS Studio out with a VAAPI video encoder on Linux
10 Feb 2019 at 10:17 pm UTC

While we're here, has anyone else had an issue with recording in OBS where every video has a 1-2 second freeze at some-point that happens only once? I seem to see it in almost every longer recording I make.

Quoting: Jack_BlackFor those interested, have fun by testing it and maybe it is even the author of this site a look and article worth ;).
If you haven't already done so you can send Liam (the owner of this site) a message to let him know.
He should know, because my post was held for moderation, due to it was my first comment here. Would write an article by myself, but english is not my first language and I am new to the linux community. Do not want to write unintentionally any hoax.

Kind Regards.
I've added POL news to my RSS list today to follow it along :)

Quoting: pete910The beaut of the AUR :P

Thinking about it iirc its Gloriouseggrols build as its called obs-studio-vaapi
That would make sense since they're the one who did the patch to OBS from what I remember.

Quoting: pete910erm, It already had it, it's what I use for hardware encoding with AMD :huh:

There have been special builds out there with it as it was merged a while ago but it is only now in an official release, well candidate anyway.

Looks like Easy Anti-Cheat strikes again with Steam Play, Paladins is no longer playable on Linux

Quoting: kalinWho cares. That game is dumb as hell. I try it to check how well steamplay work and believe me that was the most boring experience.
Yeah, who cares about a popular game with currently over 16 thousand people playing no longer working for us.
Appeal to Popularity [External Link]. This same logic might lead one to believe that Disney-Star-of-the-year's musical numbers is objectively good music.

Disclaimer: I take no position on whether Paladins is "good" or "bad", however. The real lesson in these situations is that whenever you run software designed for other platforms through translation layers and emulators, it serves only to endorse the continued dominance of non-free standards.
I get what you're saying, but you likely got my overall point too. I played it, my son played at, other people in our own community played it and thousands of others enjoy it. I was directly replying to the idiotic "who cares" point.
