StarFlint, is a comedy point & click adventure game not to be missed on Kickstarter, has a Linux demo

Looks interesting, does it have voice over or is it just text based game? I like voice-overs as it helps make the characters personalities be more apparent and lively.

"The dialogs will be fully voiced in English! Others will follow"

I'll keep a eye on this one. I do like sci-fi and its been a long time since one of these types of games has done that theme.

The slides for the Vulkan presentations from Feral Interactive, Croteam and more are now up

The developer over at Infinity Battlescape has DROPPED Vulkan support for DX12, saying that Vulkan is not mature enough and not worth going forward with.. That is sad. I will now need to strike that title off my list.

I think there is a Metal to Vulkan and vis versa conversion tool around. No idea how good it is but surely its easier then DX12 to Vulkan?

Anyway android phones can support vulkan api, mine with Mali GPU apparently doesn't but perhaps I need to do something special in order to get that feature.

Shadow of Mordor on AMD Ryzen CPU suffers from a performance hit due to non-optimal thread scheduling
27 May 2017 at 8:33 pm UTC

Interesting, I have a Ryzen 1600 system I have yet to build (waiting on ITX mobo's) so this will be handy info for when the time comes. I think games like this need to start including these things in their launch scripts so people don't suffer because most people will not have the knowledge to know of such issues nor howto fix them.

Do you need wine-2.9 or wine-2.8-staging for witcher3? I can not find wine2.9-staging.

Shadowrun hong kong extended edition is %67 off on GOG atm. I bought it but for whatever reason it doesn't appear to be AMDGPU compatible, I did send in a bug report.

The Mesa fixes needed for Dying Light and Dead Island Definitive Edition are now in Mesa-git
21 May 2017 at 12:56 am UTC

you can try MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5COMPAT or 3.3COMPAT also. or 4.1COMPAT,

I also put env at the beginning of each, not sure if it matters.

I actually can't get mesa-git working on my Antergos install, the login screen for KDEPlasma fails to load correctly and I end up with just black-screen with moveable cursor. Shrug.

The developer of EVERSPACE makes it clear it's not just NVIDIA problems holding the port up, making progress
20 May 2017 at 11:52 am UTC

I think there is trading and ship upgrades involved. I don't believe there is any structure building in the game, which makes me wonder if such a thing could be modded into it? I also don't believe you can land on planets or moons.
