Quoting: tonRBTW, no pre-order and no early access. Always buy when it's available. That's what I learned after gaming on Linux.
Rust left early access at the start of this year and has had linux support for way longer, so whatever you are trying to say here doesn't apply.

Quoting: Leopard...Turned out it was a Nvidia driver bug.
Wow. If he's got Nvidia's Linux drivers to blame for lost game sales (their drivers have been pretty impossible for some laptops), that's pretty shitty of Nvidia.

Definitely upgrading to an AMD when I get the chance because Nvidia on Linux is going downhill.
It's not 100% Nvidia fault. The devs still should make QA of the system they support. They do it on Window and should do it too on the distro they support.
Here is the thing though, with the nvidia problem and unity issues on top of that the linux version didn't make facepunch look good. And there is very little they can do about those issues. Dropping official support seems logical enough considering...

If the 0.5% takes up a significant portion of troubleshooting and fixing, well, it's just not logical to keep doing it.

Quoting: EgonautThat's why you don't support that toxic guy Garry and everyone who's working with him.
Meh, he is straight forward, blunt and sarcastic. Toxic isn't really the right word.
Calling Linux (and by that their users) a second class [External Link] isn't toxic? Yeah sure, defend that guy further if you want, I don't.
Defending? I'm just telling you how it is. He is blunt and doesn't sugar coat at all, and he seems to enjoy sparking some controversy too :)

Would I call it professional, hell no. But toxic isn't the right word.

EDIT: Also, people in here really need to calm down until we have proper information.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroDon't get the obsession with adding multiplayer to absolutely everything nowadays *grumble grumble* but the new additions should be a good excuse to revisit the game.
Blame people like me :D A pure singleplayer game has to be close to perfect for me to spend money and time on it. However, any kind of coop or multiplayer and I'm all in ^^ So, the moment multiplayer is supported here I'll buy a few copies of the game :D

Survival game 'Rust' adds a new Team UI, a deployable watchtower, compass and more

Quoting: razing32Wondering if i can play single player versus bots to get a feel for it.
In theory, but it does require server side modding. Better to just test it on a small / relaxed server

I see that a lot of people in here are longing for a bit more pve, and a bit less pvp.

The GamingOnLinux server is aiming for exactly that:
  • We want you to wake up with your base mostly intact, this is manually enforced.
  • Bots are everywhere to give people something else to kill and loot.
  • The rules state that you are to behave. Repeatedly fucking over the same people isn't behaving, and we've banned for this multiple times already.


Sadly Rust isn't extremely stable on some linux setups at the moment, and using recent versions of Gnome renders the game mostly unplayable. So, do keep that in mind.

DXVK for Vulkan-based D3D11 in Wine version 0.61 is out with improved performance

Quoting: GuestI wonder if Lutris games using DXVK will autoupdate.
I do believe they'll be a bit behind, but you can just set the version to 0.61 manually.

Quoting: devnullTried to create an account anyway. Hope they fix / remove capatcha. After 30min trying to solve the damn things and getting "unable to create account", I gave up.
I got the "unable to create account" because of my email address, had to use a different one to make it work.
Could be.. no error to that effect though. It's a throw away account. Their TOS/AUP/whatever (displayed on install, still never found it on their site) - is a fun read.
I use spamgourmet as long as it's allowed, might it be the same?
