Planet Nomads has another update out with new weather types and lots of tweaks

There is, subnautica was free on epic store recently.

The only thing unique with this game is some of its building and linking mechanics, their quite nifty and can allow for some elaborate vehicle designs, assuming it ever developers to that stage and doesn't become vaporware or release as a early unfinished alpha.

I bought it on the premise that multiplayer would be a thing. While some may dislike multiplayer, you must remember that there are FAR better survival games out WITH multiplayer in them! Just keep that nugget of information in mind when rejoicing over Planet Nomads.

Quoting: LeopardIf Epic Store will be coming to Linux ( which i don't think so ) without a Proton like solution it would mean nothing.
Allot of Unreal based games can be made to run in Linux if the developers want. I think having a Epic Store that can launch its Linux games would be a good start, remember that not even GOG has release GOG Galaxy for Linux yet so for Epic Store to release before GOG would be a statement of commitment.

Not sure if Epic can or would fork Proton for their platform, adding some support for it couldn't possibly hurt.

I wonder if wine works with mod organizer 2 and latest nexus now. Before they more or less worked interface wise but the mounting of the files was just not happening.

By spinning their own version of a distro, they can control the configuration and experience more so the troubleshooting is less of a issue. If you let people use just any old distro your going to get lots of issues.

So I can understand why they want to custom build a distro to suit the system and optimizing things, minimal problems down the line with users.

Proton is great but it starts becoming less attractive as you scale up resolution, perfect for 1080p and 1440p but to run 4k decently you need 2080TI which is in fantasyland with the inflated price tag.

It's a option between 40-45fps under Proton, or 60-65 fps under Windows, it's just unfortunate. I can't stand sub 50fps on average.

Linux gamers shouldn't need to do this all the time,

Reports: Valve making their own VR HMD and apparently a new VR Half-Life

If their going to continue down this VR path I hope they at least have the commonsense to go large FOV like 150 or more.

VR is still pretty expensive, people must first afford the PC capable of doing VR at decent framerates, most VR enthusiasts consider the 1080ti as a base minimal.. so it could be a very long time before VR picks up.

If PC hardware and LCD tech didn't jump in price over the past couple years then things would be smooth sailing. It's ironic now that CONSOLES are the savior of VR moving forward with PS5, I don't think MS want VR.

Rip Linux Gaming.

MS might love linux but they want %100 of gamers on MS Platform... two very different things. Watch as Linux ports get pulled and a LAME excuse used.
