I would like to see Gwent come to Linux (after all Gwent is a Unity game), but that wouold seem to require Galaxy at the minute.

OpenGL vs Vulkan in Mad Max, re-tested
5 Apr 2017 at 7:32 am UTC Likes: 1

It would be nice to see the same benchmarks for a system with a less powerful CPU. No offence to Liam here the benchmarks are nice to see but his CPU is a beefy one and thus was probably less affected by the CPU bound issue when using OpenGL than someone using an i5 say, I think that could show even better gains as the benefit will release the GPU more from bottlenecks.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - A Criminal Past DLC now supports Linux & SteamOS

I like that there is new DLC, and I may buy it; I do object to the 4.3GB update it decided to give me though, especially on my piddly 5Mbps connection; bang goes any gaming for me tonight :(

AMD have announced Ryzen 5 will launch in April

Im interested in how Ryzen is going forward, but for the time being my i5 4670K is more than enough to handle modern games especially coupled with my 1070.

However I would like AMD to keep pushing intel because I would hapily buy a future generation AMD CPU when it comes time to upgrade; hell if AMD's GPU's get upto par in performance I would hapily switch to one as well when the time comes.

Editorial: On paying for Linux games when you already have a Windows version
15 Mar 2017 at 11:12 am UTC

I have no problem with paying again for old games I have leftover from my windows days, though I would prefer its not at original full retail!. Simply put I no longer play them, so without a port I would either never touch them again or resort to playing via WINE.

Its a moot point for new games! As for sales, I have so little free time that by the time i get round to games they are on discount anyway but in and of itself I have no expectation of a a game having to be on Sale for me to buy. in fact I have for a couple of titles actually waited til the sale ended to show my support by purchasing at full retail.

EDITED: Poor English corrected

Wine-Staging 2.2 released with CSMT speed optimizations

Quoting: coeseta
Quoting: Avehicle7887Compared to Staging-2.0 performance is much worse on Guild Wars 2, there's 7-20 frames fps loss. On the other hand in Crysis Warhead it stayed the same.
Damn I wanted to try it with GW2, it is the only game I still need wine for :/
Did you also try it with 2.1?
Its times like these im glad I use Play On Linux to manage WINE, I can quickly test new versions of WINE and revert and keep games at the best version for them :) So my GW2 wine prefix is staying on 2.0-staging for now then.

How to record videos on Linux using OBS Studio with separate audio tracks for gameplay and microphone
21 Feb 2017 at 2:55 pm UTC

I personally like the mix of how tos, community posts, interviews and pure news articles. That said the below is a great solution to those who would like to filter certain content out without being detrimental to those who still enjoy it.

Quoting: liamdaweWhat I will be looking to do is two things:
1) Allow people to filter out tags from their GOL homepage
2) Have a few featured tabs along the top of the latest articles to quickly go to certain tags like HowTo, Interviews and so on.
