Godot Engine was approved for an Epic MegaGrant

Quoting: vmGuys. Guys. Do you realize how much money is $250k? It's nothing. It's a fat 1 year salary. OK, for maybe 2 people. It's not development budget for a large, complex software. It's sandwiches and beer for a couple of bedroom coders.. to last them a while. One extra fat salary does not turn Godot into a production software, or any kind of competition to Unity or Unreal.
As I said, for an Argentinian like Linietsky is A LOT of money.

At this speed, it should be a new Proton version every 2 weeks.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoNo matter how many vulnerabilities they discover on Intel processors, I will keep using them because the LGA system is more robust..


... than the PGA ....


If, someday, AMD decide to implement the LGA system in the mid class processors, I will try them....
Sadly, actually AMD use the LGA system only in the Threadripper processor.
Can you expand on that somewhat?

In the LGA system, once locked, the processor is firmly attached to the socket...


In the PGA system, because of a design error, the processor is not firmly attached to the socket. And because of that ...this happen very often ... :|


It happened to me and, because of that, a couple of contacts in the socket were broken and the mobo never worked again...

So,Never again, AMD.... Never again with the PGA socket.

And the AMD Threadripper that use the LGA socket is too expensive for me, so I will keep using Intel until AMD change their mind about the successor of the AM4 socket.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThis version include a solution for the problematic codecs like WMF?
No. See 4.20-GE-1 patch notes [External Link] for more info.

You still want mf-install [External Link] for those.
ugh! That sucks!

Frictional Games are getting sneakier with their teaser - looks like we have a baby coming

Maybe that is the baby from Death Stranding because they got the rights for the Linux platform..

Psyonix are ending support for Rocket League on both Linux and macOS (updated)

In the meantime, Ubisoft updated Rainbow Six Siege to VULKAN [External Link].

Rainbow Six Siege currently uses the DirectX 11 API which was released more than 10 years ago. While it still delivers great performance, the graphics driver requires significant amounts of CPU processing. Moreover, some features supported by modern GPUs are not compatible with older APIs such as DirectX 11. (We also evaluated DirectX 12, but our internal tests show better CPU performance under Vulkan.)
That is the right technical path to follow for Windows games.. So, obviously, Psyonix is having bad intentions.
