AMD Radeon Software Crimson Driver Announced, Completely Redesigned From The Ground Up
6 Nov 2015 at 7:24 pm UTC

Quoting: BdMdesigN
Quoting: GuestThis is indeed something currently windows only, and it hasn't been confirmed if it'll come to GNU/Linux at all. Being Qt does not mean it wil - as far as I've read elsewhere, the reasons were performance and stability, not portability.
That all being said, it's likely it will come through GNU/Linux in some form or other. I suspect not anytime soon though.
What makes you think that it is Windows only, if it is intended to replace the CCC?
I can read anywhere, that will be only for Windows software.

But Liam can ask his AMD Contact for this.
I would ask my AMD contact, but after he agreed to do an interview with me I never heard from him again.

Quoting: wolfyrionI think for Steam users that have already purchased Ravens Cry,Vendetta will appear on their Steam Library at release date.
No need to do anything , though a confirmation would be nice..
This is why I've asked them why they are making people go through hoops, which I am waiting for a reply on for clarification.

Update: Added in reply about AMD, to me that says that it's unlikely AMD will be supported.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLSo they still have issues with AMD GPU? Ravens Cry when we trying launch game in Linux with AMD GPU showing only black screen.

@LIAM could you ask Dirk P. Hassinger what about AMD GPU support?
I've asked for you.

New Linux Gaming Survey For November

Quoting: enzI found the question "Did you change your primary Linux gaming distribution" a bit ambiguous. Does upgrading to a new version of the same distro count as a change (e.g. Ubuntu 15.04 to Ubunto 15.10)?
That's an upgrade, not a different distribution.

Deploy Robots In 'Bit Shifter' A 3D Action/Strategy Game Now On Linux, We Have Keys To Give Away
4 Nov 2015 at 2:15 pm UTC

Quoting: minjLiam, it's not a hard-lock if you can change tty :P

Even Alt+SysRq may not help during a proper hard-lock :/
You and I obviously have different views on what a hard-lock is. If it locks my entire session, forcing me to another, and then having to reboot as it just screwed up everything, I think it falls within it personally.

Looks Like Nvidia Driver 358.66 Will Add Some Form Of Vulkan Support

@khalismur yes, that's a very valid point I've actually made before myself in our IRC. I meant what I said more in regards to Valve titles, which don't really use many advanced features. Seeing graphically heavy games on Windows and Linux with Linux using Vulkan will be very interesting. It will be great to see Vulkan on lower-end Intel too to see how well it works.
