It actually looks better than Windows 11, at least in my opinion.

Yeah, typical Garry Newman as always. He has been spreading anti-Linux hate for years...

I wonder what is the state of Ray tracing support on AMD GPUs with Mesa. Does anyone have more info?

Quoting: benjamimgoisGreat article Liam ! I still remember the faster zombies article, that thing was really a hit by that time. I would suggest to add a note about CEDEGA, for those that are old enough to remember, it was the beginning of Linux gaming before steam.

I still remember walking into GameStop in 1999 and seeing boxed Linux versions of Quake and being confused as to why anyone would sell boxed version of Linux games (I had already used Linux for 6 years by that time).

I still have my boxed Quake III and UT2004. Both with tux icons on them.

Proton is great and will surely help Steam Deck from a shorter time perspective, but I really hope that this won't lead to no new native ports of AAA games. Native ports are (almost) always better, at least in my opinion.

Quoting: ripper81358I have tried the native linuxversion (beta) for a few days now. The game runs very well on my end. However at least on my system running an AMD Radeon RX 6700xt with the latest stable version of Mesa i encountered some technical bugs.

1. The screenresolution setting is not working showing just an empty box with nothing to select.

2. Resolutionscaling was set to 50% at the first launch so i had to adjust it to 100% manually to get the rendering up to the native resolution of my screen.

3. Vsync does not work, at least not for my 1080p@144Hz display. Activating Vsync instantly cuts my FPS down to 60 while at the same time gives me bad screentearing. I ended up using the framelimiter option instead.

Other than that the game runs flawless on X11 and Wayland with very high performance and no visible graphical glitches.

I had exactly the same first two issues as you. However, in my case, it got fixed when clicking the reset to default settings button. But I still ended up setting the fullscreen mode to windowed fullscreen, because this works better for all games on my system, especially when alt + tabbing between the game and other windows.

Regarding glitches, I have found only one: Water seems to have some weird memory corruption-like artifacts. I have already reported this on the game Discord.

QuoteThere was a concern on how some elements of WWII were shown in the game, especially from German news and gaming websites. It's a tough subject, especially with certain German laws and so they made steps to adjust parts of the game and this 3.1 release is the result of that.

That's a shame. I hope it will still be possible to re-enable the censored parts.

edit: This seems to be a changelog of the censored parts:
- The "concentration camp" term is changed to a "prison camp" (only the term, not the map itself)
- All references to jewish prisoners in the former camp have been removed
- The historical correct but anti-semitic content in the World Exhibition in Paris has completely been replaced
- Every anti-semitic Nazi advertisement posters and drawings have been replaced
- The terms "holocaust" and "Final Solution" have been replaced

Yes! I am going to buy it and will play this evening. Crash Drive 2 was my favourite game.
