it’s just we have so many features to implement.

Yeah, pretty much everything missing. Even an actual store. :D

This game is f2p, has no dlc and does not have "in-app purchases" specified. How is this funded?

Some thoughts on Linux gaming in 2018, an end of year review

Quoting: Nevertheless
Quoting: LeopardIf Epic Store will be coming to Linux ( which i don't think so ) without a Proton like solution it would mean nothing.
It would give developers of Linux games another market shelf.
It would give Linux more market presense.
It would be a foot in epics door for Linux versions of their products.

For starters it would mean Epic would port their Launcher. Which would at least be a big toe.

Quoting: liamdaweSide-note added: Marc "mdiluz" recently started a "side-gig" working on Linux tooling, thanks to a little help from Valve.

I'm intrigued by what this "tooling" might be.

(I'll have to fully read the article itself when I'm at work)

For some reason I completely missed out on this one. It looks fun though!

NVIDIA released the 415.22.01 Vulkan driver

Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: EhvisIt's not a performance drop. It's that I feel a delay when I pick up a window to move it and it really irritates me.
Maybe your desktop compositor? I remember I switched off the vsync option in compton back when I started running my old 960 with ForceFullCompositionPipeline enabled.

It may indeed be Compton, but I had the same thing back on Ubuntu/Unity. Need to muck about with my system anyway because all MATE compositor options are pretty horrendous.

Might be issue with your DE/WM or compositing. Perf drop with this on is just 1-2% and when testing GTK response times it adds just few milliseconds for the GTK windows.

It's not a performance drop. It's that I feel a delay when I pick up a window to move it and it really irritates me.

Quoting: anarchist_tomatoHave they fixed the tearing yet?
Set ForceFullCompositionPipeline in your Xorg.conf and no more tearing for you.

Turned that crap off within a minute again. I'm not sure what it does, but it makes moving windows feel weird.

Now that's a nice way to try out a LEGO game with Proton.

For now, the experimental Linux (and Mac) port of ARMA 3 will not see any more updates
12 Dec 2018 at 9:09 am UTC

Quoting: rea987
Quoting: EhviseON does not use the source code, only a Windows binary. There's no way to get the Linux version compiled in there. Since BattlEye should catch any kind of tampering, I'm wondering how VP managed this.
Here, "Linux Bin" depots of Arma 3 from public and development branches:

https://steamdb.info/depot/249507/ [External Link]
https://steamdb.info/depot/249507/ [External Link]

As you see, BEClient_x64.so and BEServer_x64.so are natively available. You do not need to include BattlEye in eON builds, it simply works alongside with it.

Interesting. If that works, then it could be a client/server kind of deal. I wonder if that could be made to work for Wine as well (legal issues aside).
