Quoting: Lord_PhoenixI've been trying various tricks over last month, but I can't make it work in my Fedora setup. :( Looks amazing thought.Me too. I am unable to start the BYAR on my Fedora 33 setup.
it is giving me lots of errors:
Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
Error in curl Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) (error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
CApath: /etc/ssl/certs)
Perhaps again the infamous libcurl vs libcurl-gnutls problem.

I am really not looking forward to the times that label "sweet-spot mainstream graphic card" at 700 $, give or take a hundred.
What play button have you been clicking on lately?

1-4 coop Dwarf mining and shooting madness.
Absolutely lovely game for solo, duo and multi play.
It runs in Proton, but I haven't encountered any problems, except for the universal micrphone not working in Linux and integration with Discord doesn't work. Everything else is just pure awesome.

In the category of "under appreciated or over looked games", I would definitely add Overload - a successor to Descent series from 90's, a very niche genre.
Good game and good Linux port, it was surprisingly a GOTY for me.

Total War: WARHAMMER II released for Linux, port from Feral Interactive

I am slightly confused. I played a lot of TW:Warhammer I on my machine without problems, although AMD cars are not supported at all (based on Steam Store sys.requirement page).
My machine is AMD R7 260X (2nd Gen) 2 GB, and MESA 18.2.4 (Fedora 29)
TW:Warhammer II requires AMD GPU's - Mesa 18.1.5 or better, but it also states it needs 2GB AMD R9 285 (GCN 3rd Gen) or better.
After starting the game/launcher, I get an error message, that my system is incapable of Vulkan rendering on current hardware. Is that because of only 2nd Gen Radeon graphic card, or should I be installing additional packages?
EDIT:
Command vulkaninfo states:
Launching vkmark fails:
Launching vulkan-cube fails:
EDIT2:
According to Google, I should enable CIK support in the kernel, since currently it is using radeon instead of amdgpu:

If you have trouble with keyboard input in some Unity games, there is a workaround (updated)

This is not limited to Unity games, it affects other games like Warthunder (Steam version), unless you start the launcher/game with
You can also circumvent the issue by selecting other input source in GNOME3. GNOME Tweaks->Keyboard&Mouse->Show Extended Input Source ; then switch from IBUS to something else.

For couple of weeks, I've been indulging myself by playing Overload.
It is modern successor to Descent games from the 90', in Unity engine and Linux native on GOG and Steam.
The start was a bit underwhelming, and old-school principle of six-degrees of freedom shooting in mining shafts in a modern engine. But once you re-learn the basic movement system, weapons and enemies, the game becomes really fun. The difficulty spikes are enough to keep you on your toes every level, weapons can be upgraded, there are some new enemies and the gauntlets/boss fights are excellent.
Performance is decent, not the best, graphics are good.
