Quoting: NanobangPerhaps worth noting, too, is that Ziggurat and Pharonic are part of a larger Milkstone Studios Complete Collection [External Link] bundle:Thanks for the tip. I had Pharaonic on my wishlist, and the other games look interesting too and all except White Noise Online rated very positive, so I got the bundle.
- Little Street Racers
- White Noise Online
- Zigurrat
- Pharonic
- White Noise 2
Normally priced at $51.95, the complete collection is available for $19.71 through May 1st. Note too that all games Milkstone Studios have created are available to Linux gamers --- so everyone should consider showing a Linux love and loyalty by seeing if there's room in their library for one, some, or all of these excellent games!
Superposition, the latest benchmark by Unigine, has been released
12 Apr 2017 at 4:27 pm UTC
There is not much detailed information about the hardware, the MB RAM speed, Craphicscard RAM speed, PCIe speed etc could be different as much other things that could have an impact.
It sure would be interesting to see different distributions compared on the exact same hardware, and similar software that could impact the speed, like the kernel, graphics driver, compositor etc.
I do use Ubuntu 16.10, I might install some other distributions on free partitions, especially if someone else shows a big difference that can not be changed without changing distribution:-)

Quoting: GrimfistSadly they do not support Vulkan, would really like to see a good Vulkan Benchmark for Linux.Well you did have a different CPU, not sure if the Intel Xeon E3-1231 is comparable in speed with the Intel Core-i7-3770 at the same clock.
Just ran it yesterday evening on 1080p extreme preset. My machine got only 1100-somthing score, whereas HexDSLs machine (nearly exact same hardware, same gpu, same driver) got over 1500. Only difference so far was, he uses Antergos and I still use Ubuntu 16.04. So maybe this was another coffin nail for Ubuntu.

Stellaris: Utopia, the first major expansion is now up for pre-order
1 Apr 2017 at 7:06 pm UTC
Stellaris was worth buying from the start in my opinion, I did and enjoy it a lot still.
There have been a lot of improvement in the patches already released. And the DLCs are not really needed, the base games get most of the changes. I got them anyway to support the ongoing development of the game
I will get the new DLC at release, dont see a reason to preorder it like others already said

Quoting: SaladienDid stellaris get the ai fixed? And the other problems? Is it worth buying now?You need to be more specific or read the patch notes of the existing and that new patch yourself.

On my steammachine with SteamOS selecting vulkan crashes to BPM, OpenGL does work though for the few minutes I tried. Maybe this is due to SteamOS still using the 367.27 nvidia drivers on the stable branch

Quoting: ColomboOk, thanks for the info.Quoting: RedfaceI have Overlord, Overlord Raising Hell and Overlord II but have not played them really yet. How does Dungeons II compare to those?They are totally different games, even different genre. Overlord is third-person hack&slash game. Dungeons 2 is dungeon-keeper-like game.
