Well, no. Let's not pretend Mesa is perfect. All software has bugs and regressions.
Agreed.

Until Amd Mesa supports compat profiles , Nvidia will be the winner.

Not everybody has to deal with various workarounds to run some games.

This game also uses Dx12 on Windows and i remember from your release stream , this game is so heavy on cpu. A Vulkan renderer update would be good.

Not need to mention cross platform multiplayer.

Quoting: BloodaxeNORWell this looks like an awesome arcade-game, with some pretty cool graphics. But I wonder how much it will cost... I've spent way too much cash on games lately :/
Same. Just bought The Long Dark , Left 4 Dead 2 , Rocket League on Autumn Sale.

I was rooting for Everspace but i decided to wait until it is officially released.

Devs are really taking their time.

I was playing this game on Android. This game was good but damn hard if you won't do micro payments which eventually needed for upgrading your ship.

I hope that won't be the case with Steam release.

If you would have read the bug report you would know that the patch fixes exactly "this" problem.
facepalm :), however the Mesa patch is only a workaround, if you look at the bug report the version of Unity used makes some wrong calls.
It is Unreal , not Unity.

Valve has added 11 new currencies to the Steam Store
14 Nov 2017 at 4:56 pm UTC

Pricing on Steam is related to two factors.

First : Local sellers.

In my country ( Turkey ) a bitch ass company called named Aral is have the rights publishing some companies games. Most notable one is Bethesda , others are EA and Ubisoft.

This company sells boxed games and because of them Steam is setting these games prices to equal their pricing.

Some times it become visible too obviously. A game is came to Steam ( Prey 2017 ) with pre order at 78 TL and few hours later (because of that Aral ) it bumped up to 180 TL.

Valve has a good policy about not killing local sellers but they're abusing it.

Second : Your currency value against US dollar.

If a game is not contracted to a local seller and dev or publisher didn't do re pricing for that region , Steam converts price to your regions price with a fixed ratio.

That ratio is usually much more lower than actual currency ratio.

What are you playing this weekend?

Probably CS:Go with my routine.

First ; warm up with an arms race match.

Second ; play one or two rounds casual.

Third ; play competitive.

Quoting: ShmerlWait, I thought BioShock Infinite was ported by Virtual Programming? Too bad it never came out DRM-free.
But it is.

To MacOS by Aspyr , to Linux by VP.

Quoting: LeopardI have a question.

I never played anything related to Borderlands. Should i pick Borderlands 2?
Borderlands 2 is the better one, The Pre-Sequel isn't as good. Borderlands 2 is really fun, if you like shooters with tons of random loot and awesome weapons.
Thanks for the answer. I'll buy Borderlands 2.
