Quoting: SalvatosI guess I'll abstain from voting since I've only played maybe 2 games that came out in 2017...

You could still vote on things like "Favourite FOSS project", "Favourite fully open source game" or "Most promising Early Access game". Those categories have games/software that were released before 2017, so it's more likely that you know more about them :)
I also voted only on 5 categories since I haven't played most of the games listed there and therefore can't really call any of them 'Best of 2017'.

Quoting: LeopardIs this shader thing exclusive to Amd and Mesa or it also includes Nvidia and blob too?

I have files in the shaderchache in my steamapps folder so it should work for Nvidia blob too.

The title is slightly misleading. It's the launch countdown that was paused, not the project itself.

Quoting: razing32So what do you guys call the Orks in the Warhammer 40k franchise ?
The "k" is the only thing setting them apart from their medieval-fantasy cousins. That and being fungus based hybrids and all.

Never noticed that they are written differently even though I play most of my games in English :D
AFAIK they are both written with a 'k' in the German versions.

Little fun fact: Ork is the German translation of Orc.

Quoting: ShabbyX

Quoting: wojtek88The problem is that Valve is the only big company that can push Linux gaming forward.

I cannot say anything due to NDAs and stuff, but rest assured that this is not true. In fact the future of AAA games on Linux is very bright.

ShabbX is porting Skyrim and Witcher 3 for the Ataribox confirmed!
(just kidding :P )

Quoting: Rutine

Quoting: Lakorta-Broken crossplatform multiplayer
-Broken hotjoin

Ok, those don't affect me, because I only do singleplayer.
By the way, they just posted this : [url=https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/eu4-development-diary-31st-of-october-2017.1052692/]

What they say in the end, if you don't want to read all the post :

"tl;dr: A lot of work on multiplayer has been done, and it will continue. Cross Platform, Cross DLC, and Hotjoin should now be working. Reporting your desyncs might get them fixed faster. If you guys have any questions or suggestions I’d be glad to discuss in this thread."

Awesome to hear. Guess I can give them a positive review again (didn't give them a negative one but I removed my positive one some time ago due to multiplayer issues since I was already conflicted before) :)

Quoting: Rutine

Quoting: minj2) vanilla bugs stay unfixed for years

Can you please give examples ? I recently made two complete runs with EU4 and I only had one bug, in fact, the same in the two runs, and from the first run to the second run it was even a bit corrected as far as I could see. Plus it was not at all a game breaking bug. Just units that can't be rerouted under certain circumstances.

I'm not minj but I can give some examples anyway:
-Broken crossplatform multiplayer
-Broken hotjoin
-Ironman save corruption when saving after losing internet connection
-Quitting to the menu doesn't properly reset the game (they "fixed" it by restarting the game each time you quit to the menu)
-Changing the start game before starting a new game causes problems (e.g. changing to a later start date and changing back gives France empire status)

And a lot more, including AI bugs and multiplayer issues (hard to say if those are new bugs or long standing ones since those are hard to replicate).
