Your PC info page now shows the date you last updated.

As for listing clickable CPU and GPU types, that will likely not happen as that will require me to build/gather a database of all possible CPUs and GPUs that people might have.

Quoting: Psycic101Would be nice if the profile page showed when last (perhaps both date and duration) the user's stats were updated. (E.g: Last updated: 25/11/2016, 1 month ago)

Fab idea, will add it as soon as I am back.

Quoting: JahimselfHehe I love the way you put the two game next to each other with the two screenshots. You see a cockpit view of stunt island, and then you see a crashed plane in Indiana Jones and the Lost Crusade

I wish i was intentionally that funny, a happy accident!

I think you are misunderstanding what "feasibility" actually means. It means to see if something is possible and you won't know that until you go through and do the work. Something may seem entirely possible until you get half way through and come up against roadblocks, I've been in that same situation plenty of times when it comes to coding. If they're stuck on something, they may be trying to work through it and they don't know if it's currently possible to fix the issues, hence their wording.

As for not telling us the exact issues, they may not be able to, even if they want to. They still have the original publisher/developer to deal with. Such details aren't usually thrown out to the public.

I say it again: We don't have enough information to really make any claims. Anyone saying they haven't started porting or are dropping Linux etc etc are speculating.

I hope they don't let us down and I'm not blindly sticking up for them, I'm just trying to help people understand the situation better without wildly claiming things against them.

I still think you guys are looking at it the wrong way.

Just because a game has been ported to Mac doesn't suddenly mean it's easy to port to Linux.

Who says that checking the feasability of a port doesn't mean a ton of work has already been done? What if they have come up against major issues they are trying to solve? The word feasability can mean a great many things.

We don't have enough information to make wild claims about Aspyr dropping Linux or anything else.

Nope, didn't need to do anything. There was an update though that I downloaded first.

They may not always get some of the most-wanted games by Linux gamers, but preserving classics is important.

Preserving classic games by making them playable on modern operating systems was the genesis of their business. It's why they used to call themselves Good Old Games.

Yep, well aware of that, I've known about them since they first came on the net :)

Was simply stating my opinion :)

Quoting: erlogPlease help! Which one of those do you recommend the most?

Thanks!

Depends what your favourite genre is.

Quoting: Sgt.Romeo9I mean come on it doesn't take two months to determine the feasability of a port, it takes two months to make the port.

You are really underestimating the amount of time it can take to port a game to another platform.

Quoting: CAPTNCAPSThe texture issue is related to it being a 32bit executable.
ArmA3 on Linux will only use 768MB of VRAM
From the ports FAQ:

Being a 32-bit process, Arma 3 has 4 GB of memory available to it. However, unlike Direct3D, OpenGL stores texture data in the game's address space. Using more VRAM would fill the available memory much more quickly, leading to frequent crashes.

Yes, I am well aware of that, as noted in the article.
