Quoting: KetilYou will pay for shooting me last night ;)Quoting: GuestI cannot guarantee I won't kill you as I shoot first because I am afraid to get shot. If you complain in chat though, then I probably will come back with your things.Quoting: EhvisWho needs PVP when you have bears!The bears have taken so much from me! Makes me sad...

Quoting: somebody1121Since the developer didn't say it in their post to the mailing list, I looked around and it seems you do, to quote them [External Link]:Quoting: ziabiceI haven't tested already (I'm not on MESA git), but can someone try the older Unity3d titles with this patchset? The first game that comes to mind is "The Last Tinker: City of Colors", which performed very poor and was for me completely unplayable.You don't need mesa-git to try this, is already on the last stable version but i don't know if there are new performance patches.
EDIT: fixed some typos
You need Mesa master. Older glthread performs badly.
Beyond Enemy Lines, a single-player tactical FPS looks like it's heading to Linux (updated)

I might give this a go and test it a bit.

Quoting: NanobangIt sounds just like one of those horrible asset-built FPSs that used to stumble through Green Light on their way to nonexistence --- but it doesn't really look like one of those. An interesting find, Liam. Any word of a fairly competent non-arena FPS (especially an open-world FPS) is welcome news to me. Beyond Enemy Lines sounds like it's still a bit rough around the edges but definitely worth keeping an eye on.I will take a rough around the edges indie FPS that might re use a few assets or have a lower overall graphics quality to the rehashes of COD for example.

The more I played the less interesting it got in the end. Too little content for me to continue.

Quoting: dubigrasuAny chance for a PVE server?Sorry, no. There's very little non-PVP in Rust and I don't want to split people in half. The fun of Rust is the PVP the whole game is designed around it.

Quoting: FinnWhat kind of performance are people getting in Rust?I run it on reasonable settings, a mix of medium/high i think with usually around 70-80FPS.
I've had it in my library and never really played it. I"m getting ~25fps on any settings other than the lowest, where I can maintain ~60fps.
Is this normal Linux performance for Rust?

Quoting: KetilIt is quite annoying that I cannot move my mouse pointer outside the game without opening inventory or main menu. Even if I use shortcut to warp mouse to my other monitor, the game warps it back.Not many games let you do that. Most games lock the cursor to it.
ARK: Survival Evolved has just had a price increase, it has more than doubled

Quoting: MagicMythI'm not saying I agree with it, it was just my thoughts on what I feel they're doing.@liamdawe I'm not sure if you are saying you agree with that sentiment or not but PC games should always be cheaper as the developer doesn't have to share anywhere near as much of the sale with Steam as they do the consoles which use the money to subsidise the cost of the hardware. PC gamers pay full wack on their hardware but make that back on the savings from the cost of games. And why would it matter if someone chose the PC version over the console? Its still (more) cash to the developer.QuoteSo essentially they're using the price of their console game to push up the price of the PC version, or else people would likely go for the cheaper version on PC
ARK: Survival Evolved has increased its price on Steam to ensure retail parity for the upcoming launch.
