Looking forward most to Worst Practices talk. Vulkan leaves a lot of room for screw ups and I'm eager to see just how bad it can get.

IMO AMD should have just adopted Mesa as their official driver like Intel have. We don't need the graphics driver equivalent to MIR vs Wayland vs X.

To moderate unwanted comments or to shut down opposition?

Props to them for supporting as far back as 6000 series AMD (or was it still ATI at that time? ha). I would love to see how old hardware this game will run that is not officially supported. Maybe I can resurrect my dead youtube channel for some zombie hardware fun.

But before any such thing, the title would need to go DRM-free. I regret breaking my rule and buying TW:Warhammer only to find out it doesn't even have cross platfrom multi and now it is just cluttering up my library with nobody to play with.

something something about that's where the money is at

You know where the money is at? Consoles. Windows. Maybe Feral should just ditch Mac/Linux niches and pursue the *real* markets like the rest of the industry?

"GOG is DRM because you need to sign into an account" - Leopard, probably

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what DRM is. We will always need to have a means of first acquiring the software. But once you have a copy of that game, what you do with it should not be dictated by phone-home mechanisms or prison warden "clients".

As soon as gaming becomes a self-sustaining market on Linux, I will be kicking Steam off of my machines. But until then, I must consider Valve an ally.

Quoting: STiATIf you have an issue with the mouse (not moving / moving horrendibly slow):
https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/wine-patches/tree/master/custom/rawinput2 [External Link]
that one helps ;-). I think POL actually provides a wine version with rawinput2 patch in the repos which you could try.
It's an issue with mouse acceleration being wrong implemented in EE1. I've done this with xinput commands setting mouse acceleration profiles too at some time, but the rawinput2 patch seems to work properly.
Didn't try in the past year though.

That is apparent even playing it under Windows. No matter what mouse DPI, EE just never felt right. Damn fun game, though.

Quoting: Geppeto35Ooh nooo! Again a Total War! Stop that Feral :P :whistle:

Cossacks looks to be a lot more in line with Empire Earth or 0 A.D.

It is clear by now that Feral have some sort of cookie cutter framework in place for Total War titles.

I have been playing this shit out of this game. Ballistic Vulkan is the best news I've heard all week.

If they're not serious enough to just build for all platforms from the get-go, then they won't be serious about supporting Linux regardless of how many +1's are thrown in their faces. Game buyers should only have to pay with money, not with additional e-begging points.

Coffee Stain have been good about supporting Linux. Sanctum 2 runs great for me.
