Total War: WARHAMMER is still coming to Linux, being ported by Feral Interactive

Quoting: burnallWish they used Vulkan this time to improve performance.
I did see a DX12 branch. That could be a nice source for a Vulkan port. Since this one has been in the works for a while, I doubt it will happen though.

Also interesting is that this one was added to the "soon" section of the radar. Still leaving two games "before" it in the very soon section. I think most expected the mars hint to be about this one, but that was apparently not the case.

Headlander, the new game from Double Fine Productions will not come to Linux

PS4 does not use OpenGL, but if the internet is correct (hmmm, now that I say this out loud ...) the api was derived from it.

Actually, it wouldn't be so bad if Metal just put in Vulkan in addition. I can understand the need for a stable slowly evolving API to run their GUI system on, but then it would all the more sense to let the games have the Vulkan driver directly from the GPU manufacturer.

The Talos Principle updated with more Vulkan stability and performance

For me this beta was very unstable. As in, crash within 5 seconds after continuing my game.

Also, for those getting very high framerates, check the rendering resolution. I've seen before that it sometimes switches back the rendering resolution on switching when switching to Vulkan. Not a fair comparison if that happens.

I had that too until I upgraded to 367 drivers.

Stardew Valley is now in beta for Linux

The good thing about Linux is that usually someone manages to figure out why and post a workaround before the devs actually fix it. Say maybe someone will figure it out here too. Although tonight may not work anymore. ;)

Auto-Staccato looks like a great new take on rhythm games

Yeah, the problem with rhythm games is that I can never seem to get past level one.

That was done pretty quickly. Impressive job!

Cheers for that :D
