Dota 2 to add two more heroes, one of which is not from the original DotA
13 Aug 2016 at 4:30 pm UTC

Actually, the Monkey King was in the original DOTA, just not as a playable character. AFAIK Icefrog planned to add him to DOTA in the future, well, now he will do that with DOTA2 :)

Quoting: liamdaweAMD has issues and not good enough driver support often, I consider that a fact and if you don't you need to pull the wool from your eyes. AMD drivers constantly have issues with too many games to say it's not an issue with AMD.
Confirming that as a person who professionally tested many games on 5000 and 7000 series and 270X with Catalyst and opensource drivers. With Catalyst, running them was a joke with tens of Unity, Unreal, eON and other games (crashing on start, random crashes, weird texture glitches). Opensource drivers turned out to be more reliable and playable, but they still develop slower than NVIDIA vendor drivers for example.

Quoting: liamdaweOn top of that, Feral haven't even released what specs it will support, AMD might even be supported.
Hopefully :) I think it happened with them that their ports were released as NVIDIA-exclusive only to add the AMD support later, I think it's reasonable considered the numbers and AMD behavior.

Also, peace @dmantione, I respect you a lot for your opinions and technical insight <3

@edddeduck_feral quality post as usual!

Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell released for Linux, some thoughts and a port report

Quoting: dmantioneX11 is far from perfect, but from an end-user point of view there are few reasons to move to Wayland at the moment, because Xwayland is almost always used, so you end up with a more bloated way of running X11 applications.
^this guy gets it

Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell released for Linux, some thoughts and a port report

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: hardpenguinThis is nonsense. You will have to use XWayland for years to come. To run all the games that link X libraries directly (so, the vast majority of them), to begin with.
Not any more nonsense than saying that NAT is OK, and no one should be supporting IPv6 instead. Time to wake up and move forward.
So you expect games to abandon a perfectly working tech only because something else is newer?
