Valkyria Chronicles

Its from Sega, its on Steam, and its already known to be getting a re-release on the Switch soon.
Plus the 4th game in the series is getting released in the not too distant future.

Beyond that, some more modern fighting games might be nice.

A new Surviving Mars update is out, with a little tribute to the late Stephen Hawking & source code access
6 Apr 2018 at 2:16 am UTC

Quoting: GuestBe sure to report the bug. Vega owners using RadeonSI and playing Survival Mars aren't exactly numerous, so perhaps this hasn't been reported yet? I don't get any corruption on my Tonga card.

I have, at least with the new in-game bug report tool (ctrl+f1). At the moment the patch seems to have broken more than it fixed as it seems rockets can no longer be launched from the surface once they're refueled.

Quoting: CorbenDon't know if this has already been mentioned, couldn't find anything in a quick search: In their Q&A video from 2 weeks ago, they were talking about Linux (and Mac) being a top priority for polishing, so this update might already contain some results of that?

I'm still getting graphical corruption with Mesa RadeonSI on my Vega card. between this update and just getting the latest Mesa I was really hoping it would be fixed.

Too bad they're not committing to Vulkan as the default on every platform that has support for it.

Shadow of Mordor on AMD Ryzen CPU suffers from a performance hit due to non-optimal thread scheduling

Quoting: EhvisIs this really necessary on a 4 core Ryzen? I would have thought they'd use only one CCX on that one. That would actually have been the big advantage.

The current quad core parts seems like a stop gap since the SOC chips are almost certain to be single CCX and its doubtful AMD has that many chips that have two cores fail on each CCX.
I won't be surprised if they simply retire the quad core version of the Ryzen in favor of just offering the SOC chips at those price points, or if we see something like the low-end socket FM2 Athlons that were just the APUs with the GPU portion of the chip disabled.
