Quoting: throghPlease keep in mind: The Unity-framework is used for "Pillars of Eternity" and there is no way beyond sending telemetry unasked throughout the net when playing. :sick:
Huh? Pillars 1 asks you if you want to send telemetry iirc, or at least it's an option in the settings menu.
Also, you could always just block traffic for pillars / unity :P

Can we have them fix Steam cancelling System shudown?
Super annoying to have to click shutdown twice, beause clicking the first time only closes Steam >_>

The Mesa OpenGL threaded dispatch code seems to now use a whitelist, improving some games performance

Seeing as GL Threaded Dispatch improves performance in The Witcher 3 substantially, how can I enable it? ^-^'

(need ability to remove my own posts ; wanted to post this in forums, messed up my tabs ._.)

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is 0.74USD?! WHY TF IS IT 1.40€ THEN? 0.74$ == 0.70€ >_>

A small tip for anyone working with Kdenlive and large video files
24 Feb 2017 at 9:37 am UTC

I have found it's not really the size of the video, but rather the bitrate that makes kdenlive unresponsive.
When I record hours of gaming on Linux with OBS using CRF 18 I never had problems skipping through or watching the videos.
On the other hand, when recording with Relive or Shadowplay on Windows, with constant bitrate of 50MB/s, it is almost impossible to work with the video without using proxies.
Nice that you point this feature out, some people may not have known :)

HITMAN released for Linux, initial port report and two gameplay videos

I just see your Benchmark says 4xATF, which I assume is Anisotropic Filtering. Just wanted to let you know you can put this to 16x and should see no performance impact whatsoever while having significantly better texture quality (especially for textures at an angle). I believe it only takes up a bit more VRAM, which modern GPUs have plenty of.

Anyway, thanks for reporting, got it myself right away. Have played the intro mission so far and with my RX480 running Med/High settings I've been getting ~35-60fps, depending on where I was. (Mesa Drivers, Shadercache enabled, 1680x1050)
So it definitely runs better than Deus Ex Mankind Divided, although I feel like Mesa performance could still improve a lot :P

Ooh, if Uplay works I'll have a go at Rainbow Six Siege :O
Should this work in wine, I'll never have to boot windows again
