There are some surprising things in there. GTA5 and Witcher 3 in platinum even though they are 2015 games is quite an achievement (if only they were available for Linux). I'm also quite surprised to see Stellaris in the gold. I expected that to be too "niche" for big sales numbers. Also, how did Astroneer make bronze in two weeks of EA? Also two Valve games in platinum, one in gold and few more below that show that Valve actually still makes quite a bit of money on games.

I never played The Last Crusade, only The Fate of Atlantis. Do I need another item in my backlog? Hmmmm .......

Normally, if I want to play something using one, it would be old enough to pick up a boxed version in a yard sale or something. This way I wouldn't be sponsoring non-Linux development. I'm not this game even has a boxed version, so out of luck on this one.

Quoting: CAPTNCAPSThe texture issue is related to it being a 32bit executable.
ArmA3 on Linux will only use 768MB of VRAM
From the ports FAQ:

Being a 32-bit process, Arma 3 has 4 GB of memory available to it. However, unlike Direct3D, OpenGL stores texture data in the game's address space. Using more VRAM would fill the available memory much more quickly, leading to frequent crashes.

This (in the way it's written here) sounds like complete BS to me. If this was the case for OpenGL, 32 bit releases of many games would have been impossible. This limitation is probably imposed by something else. Maybe eON.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs the season pass necessary?

If the comments are accurate, the story DLC packs are actually a part of the main story. So that would make them necessary. But they can wait. I personally don't want to fund the DLC such scams, so I just bought the game and will wait with the DLC until they are ridiculously cheap.

I've always chosen my CPUs based on single core performance. Even today that is still a good selection for real world performance. So, I'll keep an eye on this and see how it all works out in practice.

Interesting test results. Especially because Linux runs faster for a while, then after take off drops below Windows for a while until it picks up again. It'd be very interested in knowing why that happened. It could just be the timing of loading additional scenery though.

Still good to submit a report. If it's the driver, then Croteam is in a much better position to report the actual problem.

From the build number in the title, I'm assuming this is the same as the latest public beta, so it will crash for me as well.
