The whole vibe of this game feels just right. Anybody have time for sale?

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLNow you can port The Wi†cher 3 for Linux using Vulkan. End of excuses.
Except for that little excuse called permission.

Well, this is ..... surprising. I was expecting a Vulkan title with DX12 support, but I can't remember Mad Max having that. So is this DX11 -> Vulkan then?

@Feral: Looks like you choose the perfect hype game for this with these improvements. Of course, you now set the bar for expectations extremely high. :P I hope people will get that these kinds of improvements are not possible for all games since the newer release will be much heavier on the GPU.

As is customary for me, above and beyond support makes me want to spend some money. What to get. Hmmm.......

Day of Infamy is an absolutely brutal first-person shooter you need to play

Could be that the group stuff and the game not staying as "playing" are related.

My guess would be a faulty startup script. I suppose that if it spawns another process and then immediately exits the script, that is could look to steam as an exit from the game. Should be an easy fix if that is the case.

So far, I haven't seen any crashes either. In fact, the only big problem that RL has, is its ability to demonstrate that I suck at skill games.

All of the 'Aveyond' 2D RPG games are now available on Linux

Quoting: hellscyth142Now I just wished they were selling them as a bundle.
They do [External Link], but for some weird reason it is not linked from their own website.

Star Citizen to use Vulkan instead of DirectX 12 and drop DirectX 11 eventually

Quoting: EikeThere's still boxes in the shops - for way less than 75 Euros.
Back then it was much harder to get an update of a game out to people. So the games actually had to be finished. All that extra QA probably cost a few pennies as well.

I was looking at these a few weeks back. The price of the complete set was not compatible with my current lack of time to play.

With regards to Steam, this would be a perfect example of a case where having a separate entry for the Mac/Linux games would be acceptable.

Quoting: CorbenIf also Frontier Developments would switch to Vulkan with Elite: Dangerous... :)
They also support Mac (at list with Elite dangerous), which would be a bit of a problem.

AMD have announced Ryzen 5 will launch in April

Since they appear to have figured out why the Ryzen 7 performs relatively poorly on some games, the 4 core Ryzen 5 may actually be quite interesting for gaming. Especially if the clock can be upped a bit.
