Quoting: FuriousI don't have Vulkan capable GPU, but maybe someone try -vulkan -sm5 ?
Vulkan last I checked with Epic is not in the Linux builds.

Yeah, I accidentally hit publish instead of edit while writing this, article has been updated with the newer, longer text.

Quoting: EikeIt's still marked as early access and has got the same price tag, so I bought it now.
I figure it has server choice, like in the good old times?
Looking forward to being killed by you, guys and gals!
Yup, full server browser. We host three servers too :)

Quoting: M@yeulCMmm... Not sure if it is a bug from the website or my gateway proxy, but I couldn't access the livestream page before setting my timezone. I didn't try reloading the page before setting it, though.
What happened when you tried? There's nothing in place to block it at all, we default to UTC for anyone who hasn't set it.
I just had a blank page, but I can't reproduce it anymore, even when reverting to UTC. Since I can't reproduce it, I don't think you should pay much attention to it, unless someone else reports the same.
I found the issue that was causing that from another report, shouldn't happen again.

Point & click horror game STASIS now has a new Linux Beta
27 Mar 2017 at 11:16 am UTC

Quoting: CorbenWell... it's not really "now" as the passworded Linux beta branch is already available since may 2016 [External Link] :)
It just got updated to the 2nd beta though. Here is the dialogue issue fixed, but it still seems to have some issues, like a segfault near the end.
Correct, I have cleared that up. I meant to say new beta, not just beta :)

Quoting: M@yeulCI must say that all those dates are pretty hard to read on the livestream page. But timekeeping is hard ;)
Agreed, I've removed the extra UTC time, it will only show the one localized (or UTC default) time plus the countdown now. Was a little bit of info overload.

Quoting: M@yeulCDoes it affect the timestamps in the messages as well?
The timestamps on messages are already localized using the jquery timeago [External Link] plugin. Have been for a long time.

Quoting: Psycic101Great feature. Any chance you can alphabetise the list grouped by time zone so it's easier to find the correct city?
Dagnabbit, I was about to suggest it get sorted by UTC difference, like most websites do. Keep it like it is, I guess, but place the UTC value after the location name?
Good idea, done. So you can now type a letter to get somewhere in the list :)
