Is it confirmed that Everspace will come to GOG? I could do with the current sale in there too.

GOG is having a big sale of its most wishlisted games

Of my 47 wishlisted games only 5 are on sale... Either I have a really weird taste or majority of people have no clue about games. Will go for the latter just in case xD

BATTLETECH has a new story trailer to show off

It has much of my attention. If we get a release kind of soon after the Win-Mac launch, I will probably be willing to pay full price.

2nd generation AMD Ryzen desktop processors now available to pre-order

Quoting: Viktualius
Quoting: ArehandoroCould someone please explain me in plain English why the difference in W from the normal models to the X ones? From my ignorant point of view 30/40 extra Watios per model to get an extra boost of 0.2Ghz doesn't make sense at all, specially in the bill, unless there is something else to them?

TDP (Thermal Design Power) is not the amount of Watts its taking in, it's the thermal loss you have to get rid of by cooling. And as the TDP will rise exponential to the clock speed (I think... don't quote me on that... ;) ...), it explains the big steps in Watt.

Nice one, didn't have a clue about this. Appreciated!

I think X ones come with higher frequency by default, and also they have more room for overclocking itself. There might be more differences.

I see, thanks :)

I'm a backer on this game, looking forward to get it :D

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTDoes someone have the possibility to try out Battlefield 3 and 4?
BF3 I don't think will work because of Battlelog.
I tried out BF4 tho and it works pretty well! There are a few bugs, and (at least on my AMD card) particles draw as black boxes, which can be pretty irritating. Also Punkbuster is not really happy about us using modified DLLs and you probably will get kicked from servers. Singleplayer and Unranked/No PB Servers should be fine though :)
I was running Medium Settings, 720p on a RX480 at 100-200fps ^-^

Do you happen to have a link to something explaining how to make BF4 work ? All I can see is a Garbage status for the game on WineHQ and can't find any relevant info on making it actually work :(

Someone put an install script on Lutris https://lutris.net/games/battlefield-4/
But essentially, you need a 64bit Wine 3.5 Prefix with DXVK set to Windows 10 and then it should be enough to install Origin and the game.

Following those steps, except setting level of Windows to 10, last night couldn't install Origin, always getting some QTWebInterface errors :/
Have you tried installing it through Lutris? That's what I did and I had no problems with Origin whatsoever.

I did but no luck :/

XLEngine for Dark Forces and Daggerfall is now open source
9 April 2018 at 3:46 pm UTC

Dark Forces on Steam installs but doesn't launch for me. Having this will probably help :D

Note to myself: I should have gotten old Star Wars Games on GOG instead of Steam.
