Watch Feral play the soon to be released Tomb Raider for Linux on Youtube now

Quoting: poke86
Quoting: chris200x9@1:24 why does it say x to reload if they are on linux?
Because they did a good job supporting controllers on Linux?

I really respect developers that support both the Xbox 360 and all versions of the Xbox One controller if xinput is used. Too may ports are lazy and only support the 360 or earlier versions of the Xbox One controller due to an old SDL2 or they are unaware.

Saints Row 2 Linux port report, not good
19 Apr 2016 at 2:13 pm UTC

I have an Nvidia GTX 970 with the 364 drivers and I'm curious if commenting out the export __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 in /steamapps/common/Saints Row 2/ will help with performance on my card.

Someone also posted an LD_PRELOAD command setting for this (or was it SR3) to help with the performance and I am curious if any of you have any tips if preloading anything helps. Like threading or GLX, etc.

Some early The Talos Principle Vulkan benchmarks

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, and correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to recall hearing that PS4 will run Vulkan . . .

If you go by the supporters list, Nintendo may support Vulkan with their upcoming NX console too.

Linux usage on Steam is better than people think
7 Mar 2016 at 3:44 pm UTC Likes: 1

Valve is already tracking the OS and the hardware when you login to Steam and start a game, so why not use that for tracking? Tracking via an optional survey (which I never see on Linux) is silly and actually hurts SteamOS and GNU/Linux gaming in general.

Ubuntu 15.10 Patched For Steam Controller, Backports To Older Ubuntu Versions This Week
21 Oct 2015 at 6:48 pm UTC

If Canonical is adding things to the kernel, you should ask them to patch in the latest xpad driver from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamos_kernel/blob/brewmaster-3.18/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c [External Link] which adds support for the newer Xbox One controllers that ship with consoles and what you buy in stores.

As of right now, it does not get detected and forces us to use a DKMS package from https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/+archive/ubuntu/steamos [External Link] which adds support from the SteamOS kernel.
