Even from people playing quite a bit.

Quoting: TheRiddickNot sure howto get this on Manjaro, think I just have to wait a few days until someone tests it and pushes it as update.Since Manjaro is a rolling distro, it will come in the form of regular updates.

Quoting: SpiteSo many "if it comes out it's insta buy" comments and they are worrisome to me. I mean I understand that you guys want to support linux as a gaming platform and developers who port their games to it but this kind of mindset is a little stupid. I mean, that's how preorder culture came to be.What on earth are you on about. The pre-order mindset and buying it if it comes to Linux are two entirely different things. One is buying something that doesn't exist, the other is people specifically waiting to buy it and waiting for it on their choice platform.
We should not buy crap games or crap ports just because devs decided to release on linux. I'm not saying that it will be either of these 2 things, I just wanted to put it out there

I understand what you're saying, but GOL has a big reach, currently LifeOnLinux (or "LOL) does not, so for now it's still suited for here.

Quoting: operaLike I said, we have covered details like this plenty of times in the past.Quoting: liamdaweMay be read my post again. That was not my point.Quoting: operaNot sure if GOL really needs to cover that kind of low level implementation details of graphics drivers.We have covered stuff like this plenty of times in the past and you're the first to make a complaint about it. Usually, people appreciate it.
I agree that the scope of driver functions is very interesting but the actual size of particular driver cache is a little too deep from my point of view.
I was complaining about a news that covers a low level implementation detail that concerns more a developer. As a gamer it has no big impact whether the cache size is a relative value of 10%, 5% or an absolut value of 1 gb. It's just a small configuration issue. It works either way.
On the other hand I appreciate news about Mesa implementing new features (like the news in the past) because these increase an actual feature set which has a much higher impact.
