Haha, whoops. I think my Reddit thread inspired this article.
I was just feeling disappointed in Valve and some other developers. It's a great place (that we're in), but we're still missing out on a lot of great games and experiences that I wish we weren't.

Quoting: manus76Don't worry guys - you can trust Sony will remove the possibility of running linux on PS4 through one of the upcoming system updates. Why give users the freedom to use purchased equipment the way they see fit?

Upcoming? Sony patched this vulnerability a long time ago. This is using old, old software.

Quoting: jf33One of the flaws of the early GTA games were the loading breaks when entering another district of the city. I wonder if they could manage to get rid of them. It should be no problem to hold all the data in memory with today's hardware.

Already done. There's no loading in this version.

The map issue on Nvidia hardware can be fixed by switching to Nouveau/Mesa.
Also, there's an in-game debug menu accessed with the M key.

Quoting: wvstolzingNot so successful here... (openSUSE TW, nvidia 364.19)

As soon as the intro ends, though, a screen-sized 'minimap' flashes for a second, and then the game hangs on this screen:

I can still escape into the pause menu, but can't do anything there.

I'll see whether I'll get different results on my laptop, later on.

I can get inside & drive the cars, but can't descend to the lower levels of the car park. To see even this much is pretty nice, though.

The game hangs on the end of the beginning cutscene on Intel/Nvidia hardware only.
Runs flawless (but slow, obviously) on my AMD A8-7410 APU running fglrx 15.3 on my laptop.

Quoting: rcritI build from source and it seems promising. There is a test option from the menu so I chose that. It drops you onto a parking garage with all the weapons and a variety of vehicles. The weapons can be picked up but have no ammo. The cars can be driven but they are all basically the same AFAICT. You can't damage vehicles.

It looks really good except for the minimap which isn't so mini:

I think the original games used the same engine. The current build of openrw doesn't work for me with GTA:VC (I get a segfault).

I got it compiled and working fine on my laptop. The map works fine on fglrx 15.3.

How is the framerate? I assume it's pretty bad? Also, would you maybe provide some insight on how to compile it? The Github page isn't very helpful in that regard. (No exact names for the dependencies)

Oh no. That means in 2 years when Wayland is popular, we won't be playing this game..

I'm really excited about the GRUB updates. Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2 also has an updated GRUB version, so now when I'm booting, there's no annoying kernel messages.. It's so nice ;_;
