AMD RX 480 released, AMD will possibly open up Radeon Software

Quoting: liamdaweI imagine Talos is in the extra benchmark article he put behind a paywall.
Sadly that's not the case here.
Wow really, so he didn't even benchmark Talos on it?
It wasn't included in the extra benchmarks but I hope that he will benchmark it in the near future. The tested games are, Tomb Raider, Shadow of Mordor and Company of Heroes 2 btw.
Well, I hope he notes that they aren't supported on AMD due to AMD's drivers. He didn't note it about F1 in the main article he did. It's great that he does them, but not telling people they are unsupported doesn't help credibility.

Quoting: natewardawgWow, I really hope that AMD keeps it up. When I do decide to buy a new GPU I would love to support them instead of NVidia.

I also wish there were some Talos Principal benchmarks in there too. Maybe he didn't do it since you need to manually edit the Talos.ini file to get Vulkan working.

Sadly, the event was cancelled today due to bugs with the game for me.

Company of Heroes 2 updated for Linux, adds support for the War Spoils system and fixes other bits

Quoting: omer666I still get the "Can't connect to Relic servers" error. I've been reporting this bug for two versions now and we can't find a solution. The bug seems to exist on Windows too.
Behind a VPN by any chance?

The Linux Gamer takes a look at Pac-Man 256
28 Jun 2016 at 9:11 pm UTC

Quoting: ZeloxIn the long term, I think the linux gamer will be very big.
Pacman isnt really my cup of tea, but I still enjoy watching his videos.
He is already quite possibly the biggest Linux youtuber, if not, then he must be high up on the list in the top 5.

Quoting: edoIf I join a match at any time, will I find people or do I have to join only when there are events?

Anyway, most of the time I just play the single player campaign of the game and thats it
It does have a small very dedicated following on Linux/Mac and we play every week as well.

The single-player is well worth it, and it has AI for matches too outside of that.

Game store itch is also having a summer sale

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionitch have filled the niche left by Desura.. or it seems Desura is still in business somehow? Honestly, it would be great to see a merger or buyout between the two.
Desura doesn't exist anymore and itch are doing a better job than they ever did.

XCOM 2 - Alien Hunters thoughts, prepare to get frustrated
28 Jun 2016 at 12:00 pm UTC Likes: 1

Update: When you start a new game, make sure you tick the box for the Alien Hunter expansion mission. This will give you the ability to delay it forever, and not have the vicious new aliens appear. If you don't tick it, they will appear whenever they please. A mission for a "Locator Beacon" will appear, do not do it and you will be happily playing as normal.
