Mad Max meets Vulkan in a new fully public beta for Linux, benchmarks and OpenGL vs Vulkan comparisons
30 Mar 2017 at 2:27 pm UTC Likes: 1
Whoah. This is incredibly impressive (and for me quite unexpected). Have to try it out tonight.

Ok. Just a brief test: i7 6700k, 1060GTX, 1920x1200, avg fps

Camp - Hollow Point:
54 OpenGL / 105 Vulkan

Stronghold - Tyrant's Lash:
38 OpenGL / 77 Vulkan

Cutscene - Hope, Glory, and Dog is Dead:
63 OpenGL / 102 Vulkan

Cutscene - Landmover:
75 OpenGL / 120 Vulkan

Unbelievable.

Quoting: LeopardYep,if this user share won't change i'm afraid eventually we will migrate to Windows again.
Good riddance. I suppose people (like me) use Linux based operating systems not only because of a certain market share on Steam.
If you want to do real gaming,you will need to use other platforms besides Linux.If you don't think so,ask Liam.Who also uses a console for real gaming.

Yeah,fanatics like you always exist so i'm not surprised.
"Fanatics" tsksk. Spare us your drivel. If you are using your PC mainly for gaming: Stick to Windows for Chrissake. I use my Linux desktop for work (since I make my living on being a developer), but I also like a hearty game every now and then. Matter of fact: I have way to many games on my pile of shame. And a drop from 0.81% to 0.78% just doesn't make my heart race...

I finally completed Half-Life 2 on Linux and it was quite the experience

Quoting: TuxeeWith HL1 I was and still am stuck in Xen between the Gonarch and the Nihilant. HL2 was different. Finished the base game several times - I find all levels stunning: Ravenholm, the highway section, the "water hazard"... Episode I was - relatively speaking - a bit of a letdown. Episode II cranked it up again, but I never finished the final battle against the Striders with the Magnusson Device. Shame.
I was sort of the opposite, I enjoyed the urban combat and navigating the wreckage of the tower in Episode I to the antlion caverns and frankly way-too-gimmicky final battle of Episode II. The fact that Magnusson pretty much literally came out of nowhere and everyone was suddenly deferring to the jerk didn't really help much. There were good bits of course, it's still a Half-Life game after all, but I thought it was further from the others than Ep I was.

As to HL2 itself, I think what I always looked forward to the most when playing was the sheer vertiginous tension of navigating the bridge. Which got even worse on the way back since you were being harassed by the gunship, and I was never really that good a shot with rockets.
Well I suppose I should give EP I another try. It was the only chunk of HL (including the original HL, Blue Shift, Opposing Force) that I played only once. I suppose because of fighting off the onslaught of zombies at the elevator in complete darkness: The elevator is practically there and a Zombine finishes you off with a grenade... Well, the bridge section was epic.
The fact that one can remember all those scenes years after playing them tells you something about how good HL really is.

Well
Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has... come again.
Torment: Tides of Numenera released for Linux with day-1 support

How is that any different from "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away"? I agree, it's ludicrous, but come on, it's fantasy! ;-)

I'm downloading Torment as of this moment, it will be interesting to see if it even launches (I don't have too high hopes, as it's the first we see of the Linux port).
Why not? inXile's Wasteland 2 came with day one support and worked without any hiccups.
Fumbling around with tanks in War Thunder on Linux, some thoughts
23 Feb 2017 at 9:00 am UTC
Quoting: TheRiddickIts a good game, I have allot of the tanks and planes but was disappointed with mid tier Japanese editions (their BR is WAY too high for allot of them) so I have taken a LONG break from the game until I see some BR changes or something to that line up.
Tanks or the planes? Because with planes the BRs are quite acceptable, some of them are (or were) clearly OP (Ki-100, A7M, N1K1), but that's something they share with all other nations. Tanks might be a different story - I'm still struggling with their tier 1 models.

Quoting: hardpenguinPlayed tanks only cause I sucked at planes. It's very fun in the beginning, but gets more pay-to-win after leveling up a bit. Still, a nice game!
It's not pay to win. It's "pay to speed up grind" - which I find perfectly acceptable. Besides I get most fun out of level 2-4 aircraft (can't comment on tanks yet). The jet age tends to become a chore.
The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

Quoting: Guest1- That's just propaganda from imperialist agenda. Sources are yihadists, KSA and Qatar, etc..

2- Aleppo has been sieged for years, but this charities only care when the "siege" comes by the "evil" government, because they only defend Al-Nusra and that goatfuckers.

And i only searched for 1 minute, i can find more shit on the internet, MSF is just imperialistic shit.
And you are one kind of a troll. Liam, I'm done here (at least with this "discussion").
The Wild Eight is another game funded by Kickstarter that decided to delay the promised Linux version
14 Feb 2017 at 2:13 pm UTC
Quoting: micha
Quoting: SirBubblesI'd like to chime in. After being burned by Kingdom Come: Deliverance and The Mandate, I'd be really hesitant about touching anything from Kickstarter. Getting a cheaper price isn't quite the same as buying a product you can have some certainty about. Delayed for years and not supporting the platform you use is not good enough. And here is another dev saying "can't be arsed supporting linux. Too hard".
Did you read the steam discussion? Their first post was:

Thank you!
Yes, Linux version will be available!
So what? That's what they said about KC: Deliverance, too. They even promised Beta access...
