I personally find it hard to be sad to see them go. I purchased a laptop from them a few years ago that almost immediately (Within the first week) started developing screen issues, and when I inquired about it via their support, I received only silence.

The laptop ended up dying with little explanation a couple of months later.

I myself am certainly going to wait for the details on RDNA2 before making any decisions, though I'm very much looking toward a new build in the next four months.

This project sounds fantastic. Now if only something similar were to be done for joysticks and HOTAS inputs, all the ones I've tried have been abandoned, unless someone has some suggestions.

Quoting: MagamoDOSBox is still under active development. They talk about a release from time to time, but then talk about other things for a while.
Do they have a better repo to report bugs, or they are still using SourceForge?

Quoting: ShmerlIt seems to me that DOSBox source code is abandoned. It didn't have release in years and still didn't fix the lack of XDG base directory spec.

Just purchased this, and tried running it as I love these games. However, I can't seem to get it to go into fullscreen mode, despite every game having that option checked.

Rocket League to get a huge Autumn Update, come see what's new including what's coming later

Quoting: MagamoMy big question: Will they fix the now broken support for DualShock4 gamepads?
And of course I fix it (and Towerfall: Ascension) myself by compiling a copy of libSDL from mercurial, and dropping that in the game's directory under steam. Done.

NVIDIA 381.22 driver released with lots of bug fixes and newer Vulkan support

I'm really impressed with this upgrade -- I'm getting nearly twice the FPS in Talos Principal's Vulkan renderer as I do with the OpenGL renderer now.
