F1 2015 wasn't ported to MacOS. The ways of the Codemasters are unfathomable. ;)

For Mac OS Feral has now a lot in queue: Hitman, TW:Warhammer, Deus Ex, DiRT Rally, F1 2016.

Did I forget something?

Updating OBS is a pain, because of NVENC we have to recompile and install OBS/ffmpeg manually. With these few changes is seems really not worthwhile. Still using version 15.

But thank you for reporting this.

Thank you! Would be interesting to compare this with the Windows version of the game.

Sorry, but I don't realize a big difference to the actual big picture mode.

I think Valve speculates that in 10 or 20 years everything is based on SteamOS. Also the PlayStation, Nintendo and the XBox. This sounds crazy, but is realistic. All these companies also want to make just money and to grow. With their current technologies they limit themselves.

Linux is already omnipresent in the areas of Cloud, IoT and mobile. Microsoft is today Platinum member in the Linux Foundation and carries more open sources than anybody else. The concept of open source has prevailed, just different than we thought.

In 20 years only dinosaurs like us will still use a desktop PC at home. I do not know if Steam Machines or SteamOS will spread as much as Android. Maybe Valve is not the right company for that. Perhaps not even Linux is the right technology and will be replaced by something else. But the basic idea which Valve has is exactly right. I really can not imagine that in 20 years gaming is still based on Windows PCs. Not even Microsoft believes this.

Valve apparently believes in its future as a gaming platform. Only time will show.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTNowadays we just don't need ignorant publishers anymore? So: Come one, FUCK YOU Blizzard, FUCK YOU EA, FUCK YOU Bethesda.... The list could go one forever.

Calm down boy. Just games. By the way: Bethesda's Doom runs better under Wine than any port. I think that means a lot for Vulkan. With this technology one gets ports as cheaply as never and Feral becomes unemployed. ;)

I love everyone who develops computer games or does something for it.

Thankfully, we do have DiRT Rally to look forward to from Feral Interactive.

And it takes a year for DiRT Rally after the first emergence on steamdb. So do not let us hold our breath for Project Cars at this early stage.

I'm also now looking forward to DiRT rally. :)

It will appear on the second of March. Nearly a year after recording in the SteamDB. Just because something appears on the SteamDB, linux gamers must not hold their breath.

No Mac port so far thank to Metal.

DiRT Rally is one of the best racing games, I think.

Quoting: PicoboomI've been using Discord (Canary)for the better part of the last year for two reasons:

1. It's commonly used amongst my online friends and
2. I can use it now whilst I figure out how to set up/use Mumble/Murmer(M&M)

Setting up the M&M client was pretty straightforward, granted, but the server? Not so much; not for me. It usually goes something like this in my head when I revisit M&M:

I have to set up a server?
Where?
On my machine?
And I have to be an admin on it too?
How do I do that?
And then what about these settings?
What do some of these even mean?
I can use other people's servers?
I'll just pick one out and try it, shall I?
Okay, ummm, why are some of them hi-lighted green?
Whatever, this one has a good ping.
"Enter User Name," --- ok, I'll just make one up then?
Ok.
"Sever presented a certificate which failed verification,"
uhhh.
"The certificate is self-signed, and untrusted,"
Gahhhh! Close! Close! Close!

For Mumble you will need a server, of course. But for everything else you will also need a server. For mail, homepage, wiki, blog, jabber, nginx and simply everything else you do online. You can use different services for all this and distribute your virtual identity across all possible companies like so many people do. But at the end of your life you will not have saved time. People spend years of there life just feeding companies.

Discord is just a Mumble clone. They've used many parts of the mumble sources I've heard. What is their business model? I'll tell you: In a few years, they will sell everything to Microsoft or whoever with all our data.

Thumb rule: Only use services if there are indispensable advantages. Valuable services are e.g.: Steam, Twitch, GitHub and some more.

Things like Discord are simply superfluous. It is a private closed system for which you do not have to pay anything. This should make everyone suspicious. How do they earn their money?

Quoting: XpanderPeople who say mumble is better, you cant really compare those 2. Discord is not just a VoiceChat but also chat, gametracking, streaming and other fun stuff.
Only issue i have with Discord is that its UI is not enough configurable, but i can live with that with the featureset it has. 1 application is better than to have multiple applications for different things in my book.

I follow the KISS philosophies. Streaming with Discord???

With gaming voice chat you need positional audio, overlays and high configurability and scalability.

I hear your arguments in a similar form since 20 years for windows. Let's do everything easy and let's do everything with windows. The result is that today no one under 14 uses a desktop PC anymore, because it has become boring. People can not do anything with a PC anymore. They ask: Why do I need this, I still have my tablet and the PS4.

In the end, you do not need Discord, because everything takes over to Google, Sony, Microsoft or whomsoever.

The fun is not to have it easy but nice. To have positional audio with Minecraft (or whatever feature you like) is so cool but most people will never make this experience. At the end it just becomes boring and they will switch to other activities then gaming.

Of course I also look at Discord, but Mumble has just a lot more possibilities for game chat. Just setting up a Mumble Bot is a lot of fun.
