Quoting: Tuxee
Quoting: Glog78In my humble oppinion game companies should be able to get sued in europe since their idea of giving you only a revocable licence doesn't hold up. And if this one doesn't hold up the 24 month waranty rule should apply. Btw. in my oppinion this should hold up for any game which did sell a fully functional linux port and removed their support without removing sales 24 month before they end support.
No you don't want that. Really. That would just lead to even less Linux ports. Particularly indie companies would avoid our platform.
That would only be a problem for games-as-a-service, though and they should factor continued support of all supportrd platforms into their calculation anyway.

"We want Rocket League to be the best experience possible for all our players" that why we are killing Linux/Mac support... .

Wishlisted.
For some reason this looks and sounds like a winner.

Quoting: TuxeeI suppose the OpenGL client will stay "as it is". I have been using the Vulkan renderer for the last couple of weeks and most of the time it works pretty well. You get your gunner positions modelled, antialiasing and much nicer burning planes. Problems: AA in aircraft battles yields a rather low frame rate (I have pretty much everthing maxed out on 2560x1440) and minor glitches like square shaped marks where shells hit or vehicles got destroyed, some artifacts in the clouds in air battles, a few rare crashes. Overall I'd say it's better than OpenGL - even in the current state.
Thx, unfortunately i never got the vulkan version to run stable before. Guess, I will wait a few more months then - would have to repair a pot in my throttle anyway before being able to fly again. Still hope they get their shit sorted one day - the game is actually quite good.

Anyone a clue about the current state of the OGl client?
Last time I checked some months back performance was meh, monster trees-bug made aircrafts unplayable, gunner positions were only modelled for dx11 and FXAA was the only working AA option for the Linux client.
Would be great to be able to return to the game if some of that was fixed.

Don't be to harsh guys. Nice to see them sprinkle some coins towards deserving Projects, while providing us with dozens of free non-native "demo" games we can test on Lutris and Proton and providing a paid 6-month to a year test environment for developers to fix their so called release versions before they actually hit the open market. (yes, ideologically they can go stand in a fire, but let's also look at the bright side of things here ;-) )

Steam Play Proton 4.11-10 out, mouse handling improvements and Halo: The Master Chief Collection works

Quoting: Schattenspiegelshould you guys not at least wait till they released more then one game of the collection?
My understanding is that buying the collection now will grant access to each game as they come out. Basically a preorder at a discount. This does not apply if you simply buy just Reach.
Ah - so it is a limited time deal then? Then it might actually be wort the gamble, I guess. Just thought that is not really guaranteed that the other entries of the series will actually work with wine/proton so pre-ordering is kind of a risk.
