Just a heads up, PAYDAY 2 is currently broken again on Linux
20 May 2017 at 7:50 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: Dribbleondo
Quoting: Redneck
Quoting: MightyTrollzorseems to run again after another 1.9 gig patch (at least the safehouse does). I also found a mod that enables coop with windows users even with the downgraded linux version (just search in the linux subforum of the payday2 discussions on steam)
Someone on the steam forum [External Link] says that days 1-4 are working, i really hope they does :D

Edit: And yeah, it works :D
I am very aware that this is like, 7 months old, but hi, I'm the guy who fixes Linux Matchmaking, you're welcome =)
Have you considered doing an interview with GoL someday? I have no idea if Liam or the staff would be interested in it at all, but I'd be interested in hearing what challenges/etc. there are.

The Mesa fixes needed for Dying Light and Dead Island Definitive Edition are now in Mesa-git

Is there a list of games out there known to be incompatible with Mesa/Radeon at this time?

I've got an RX480 that I pass through to Windows and a GTX960 that I use in Linux, and it'd be interesting to see if I can pare that down to just the 480.

Some thoughts on becoming a mummified redneck in 'Immortal Redneck', a pretty good FPS for Linux

"Immortal redneck", you say?

Have you, perchance, seen "Bubba Ho-Tep"? It's a fun movie.

Overload, the really great six-degree-of-freedom shooter has a major update
26 Apr 2017 at 12:55 am UTC

Quoting: DMJCUh you know right that Overload is being made BY THE MAKERS OF DESCENT right? Parallax Software split into Volition Inc and Outrage. Parallax Software was started in 1993 by Matt Toschlog and Mike Kulas. Mike then started Volition Inc, before leaving recently to start working on Overload. If anything it's the new Descent that's ripped off Descent. Mike Kulas is just making the game he's always made. Overload is the true heir to the Descent franchise. The new Descent game is some guys that got a license from Interplay, it has nothing to do with Descent. On another note, I'll add that I met Mike Kulas online back in the early 2000s on the Freespace 2 forums. He is one of the loveliest guys in the industry. Just a really nice guy.
The new Descent is made by a guy who used to enjoy the crap out of playing Descent LAN back in the 90's, and has been in the games industry for a very long while. https://descendentstudios.com/about/team [External Link]

Key reseller G2A is being told to clean up their act, or lose AAA publishing deals

Quoting: EikeWow! Which country is this?

We used to have free bank accounts and free transfers (using forms way back in time), nowadays with low interest rates I pay I think 2 € per month and can have as many transfers as I want. I do them at my own computer. Really convenient and safe.
Russia. And the bank in question is Sberbank™. The bank so huge due to its Soviet Union inherited branch tree (where in most of the small towns it is the sole bank) that for the 20 years after collapse it simply refused to change and adapt, instead flushing through itself insane stream of pension and grave-money from the elderly. The year is 2009 (or so), yet in order to get your money you have to stand (literally!) a queue of 15 people in a small stuffy room, then stand near operator while ancient (yet cost-efficient!) dot-matrix printer fills your income-outcome ribbon. Classic!

And the game was pre-order (my first and only) for "OilRush" from Unigine. Apparently this whole deal with pre-orders were new to them also (and there were no native banking at the time) so they had chosen "ABN AMRO Amsterdam" as their bank. For a 600₽ base price I parted with 1040₽ that day. Nice interest, Sberbank, very nice!
Holy crap, you guys are getting shafted on banks.

Then again, have any of yours caused any financial collapses in recent memory? :P

Ubuntu now has a more official PPA to get Mesa updates

Note: I have not tested this, since I use Antergos. I'm sure it has been thoroughly tested by the Ubuntu team involved in it.
