Hhmmmmppff - just found out there is an issue with nVidia driver 381.22 on GTX 660M -> Vulkan does not work (tested on Mad Max, Ballistic Overkill, Talos Principle).
Anybody else please having similar issues?

Stardock CEO asking to see interest in Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation on Linux with Vulkan

I already supported them by buying the game when it got released on early access (with the hopes that I will get a Linux&Vulkan RTS game some day, as was promised). And of course I'm VERY glad that Stardock is willing to go this way. But they did not keep their promise; they also act as if nothing happened... So it must be stated that their behaviour is not correct and is not clean; this is what developer studios just must not do...

Quoting: ZuulYeah, my apologies for being this expressive, but when I saw the news, I got enraged.Quoting: BoldosHhhmmmm... What the hell, Stardock??!!Yeah my thoughts exactly. But it seems that opinions like this on this matter will be removed from the comments.
1st the Linux support was promised on your roadmap for late 2016/early 2017.
Then, Linux support was pushed to sometime "in the future", expected late 2017 or even later.
Then, any mention of anything even remotely touching Linux support disappeared quietly from all your development roadmaps on Steam and your webpage and even now is not in there anywhere.
And now, a year after initial Early Access release, with originally promised Linux support, you have the guts to come back to ask the Linux community "if there is interest, we *might* port it"? Are you f*cking kidding me??!!
It is this game, which taught me not to spend my € on the promised future Linux support, cuz the developers might change their minds not to support Linux, if this suites them...
Very bad attitude, which I would expect from EA, not from Stardock...

Well, an ordinary shooter...
...nothing special, a bit of a disappointment, really (Tactical Ops from 1999 is more interesting!).
Anyway, will not want my money back, I'm proudly supporting the Linux devs out there :)

Issue arises, though, when you meet such an idiot at your work/in your professional life, and this idiot is killing your project, or your work reputation, with their (usually very loudly spoken, and usually well targeted) idiocies.
If you run away, you insta-loose everything you worked for....
And what is even worse: by your behaviour, you let the idiot win.
THIS is my worst real-life, all life long dilemma..

Quoting: GuestThis is *generally* a very good rule, and the best thing one can do, when one meets an idiot.Quoting: GuestThat quote was the quote I was looking for and it summarize it perfectly how to deal with trolls.“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”Thats why I stay away from such forums posts.
