The latest Steam Client Beta adds native support for the PS4 Dual Shock Controller

Quoting: ElectricPrismAlso, no more ds4drv which should be nice.
Ah this is the difference! So steam does detect it independently from the kernel, HID devices and ds4drv? :)

I bought a DS4 2 weeks ago - I could config it from the very beginning. The only thing I do miss is a proper DS4 picture for the configuration instead of the default Steam Controller picture.

Maybe not as many people as expected use a Xbox controller because it's ugly as hell?

<<< Dual Shock 4.

You guys talking about space left on your SSDs are aware of the fact that loading times if games on HDDs and SSDs won't differ that much most of the time? Unless the game streams a massive amount of data while you're in game there's almost no difference at all.

It's not exactly worth buying a SSD just for games. You can either search for tests or benchmark this on your own. Of course a SSD would never be slower than a HDD, but most of the time, for games, it wouldn't be noticeable faster.

Actually you can get a great performance on D3DX12 - you just have to implement and optimize it in a proper way. Many D3DX12 games are not in a good shape though. One exampe of a nice implemention is 'Ashes of the Singularity'. The developers also wanted to bring this game to Linux. They also said it's a shame if you spent much work in developing D3DX12 without porting it to Vulkan since the syntax is so very close.

The Linux version of Arma 3 is set to continue on, and Arma 3 plans to go 64bit

Quoting: lucifertdarkWhy are the bothering with a 32bit version when almost everyone who is likely to want this game is already using 64bit Linux?
Maybe just because many developers are more experienced with coding x86 apps as well as debugging them? Maybe just because there's no need to go for x64 unless you have any advantages by that - having more RAM available to assign to the App - if needed - could be one of those. Most of the time the performance won't be any better.

They already stated for other Games like Grid: Autosport that they will most likely use other techniques on Linux.

@FERAL INTERACTIVE: Will it count as a Linux Sale if I buy the game in your store and do play it on Linux afterwards?

Feral have released the minimum and recommend system requirements for Mad Max on Linux

Given the fact that shady key stores do sell the game for 5 € I won't buy a one year old game for 30 €. Of course I want to support feral and make it count as a Linux Sale. Therfor I'll wait for the next Steam Sale to come. 50 % off would be totally fine. I'm willing to pay < 20 €. ;)

The game looks so awesome! It's hard to wait! :(

Looks like the beautiful open source RTS '0 A.D.' is closing in on the next release, Alpha 21

Awesome! The game has quite some potencial! To be honest, it can get a bit into a long run sometimes. But still it's great fun every once in a while! :)
