Quoting: Boldos
Quoting: aristoriasCan the app finally support HiDPI? It is a real pain to use that thing on a 4K monitor ...
Steam client can scale it's GUI on 4K currently.

It actually scales too big on my 4k screen, I only want a %25-50 scaling increase. That is whats missing, atm it seems to do a %100 enlargement and is a bit overboard...


Also what EPIC is doing is called poaching, there not making developers come there way out of goodness of their heart. They are offering up millions to go EPIC store exclusive where there was no plan to before. Poaching.

Just amazes me how a restrictive as all hell proprietary API can even exist this day and age, clearly Microsoft are tossing money around in order to incentives companies!

OpenXR from The Khronos Group and Monado from Collabora could unify VR & AR

Imagine a world if everything was just vulkan... it be amazing. I always cringe when a developer goes DX12 only,.

To date I haven't even tried VR, I want my first experience to be with nothing less then Pimax 5k+ level headset which is pretty good I hear (was a bit rough at start).
Unfortunately I will need to find a spare $2k under the lounge or something first.. could be a while...

I guess now that they see google doing something with linux, their thinking is maybe shouldn't drop the ball just yet...

I'm eagerly waiting for Microsoft Windows to become a subscription service, THAT will be the day Linux shines!
Also confusing that MS is killing off windows7 (probably 8/8.1 soon also) yet also releases dx12 for windows7 at same time... shrug

System Shock 3 may see Linux support, OtherSide still working on Underworld Ascendant for Linux

I hope they are able to resolve problems with UA, I hear it was a fairly big let down on release....

GameHub is another open source game launcher, giving Lutris some competition

Cant get humble bundle to work, it asks me to verify 10 million images to login, FCK THAT, I'm not sitting here all day to train your AI!

EDIT: Seems it might be just gamehub collecting the info so it can always login without needing to ask you to verify, since you did them all at once sort of thing.

Quoting: Mountain Man"I hear you like launchers, so here's a launcher for your launchers!"

Has it really come to this?

Yes, every single fricken publisher wants their own fricken store software now, and are as disasterious as steam alpha version 0.1 at start.............

Going to wait for a sale, not in the habbit of paying $70aud for games these days. And I hear this one still needs polish and endgame content?
