Mesa patched to help render The Witcher 2 correctly on radeonsi
9 Jan 2017 at 4:44 pm UTC

Quoting: buenaventuraPerformance for me in witcher 2 is just horrendous even on absolute bottom settings. I wonder if this patch will help? Is it already in padoka ppa?

Have you enabled beta build for Linux in the properties tag? That gave me a bit more performance.

Just bought Mad Max. Thinking about getting the latest Deus Ex, but I doubt my system can handle it. Thanks Feral!

Wow 20 grand from Mozilla! I didn't hear that news, I guess I gotta pay more attention to Godot's progress.

Kith: Tales From the Fractured Plateaus, a free short adventure made on Linux

@rusty

Just curious; you used a lot of open source software to make the game but used Unity as the game engine; were the other open source game engines like Godot not up to scratch? Is it a personal preference? Or is it a bit of both?

Total War: WARHAMMER release date announced for Linux, Tuesday 22nd of November
15 Nov 2016 at 6:49 pm UTC

I'm assuming there is no cross play between platforms just like the other War Hammer and Company of Heroes. This makes my decision to buy or not a lot tougher.

Mesa has now hit full OpenGL 4.4 support for AMD radeonsi and Intel
13 Oct 2016 at 3:33 am UTC

If you look at the bottom, Mesa is still missing a fair amount of extensions not related to any particular version of OpenGL, so still plenty of work to be done.

Yes there are still a lot of missing extensions, but I really doubt any of them will be relevant to future gaming.

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: chimpyOut of curiosity, would this be considered a Linux sale? Whenever you opt into one of these betas (for example Arma 3) do they count as Windows or Linux sales?
