Feral Interactive have pushed another patch to Mesa to help fix up the 'radv' Vulkan driver
11 Mar 2017 at 10:25 am UTC

Quoting: t3gMesa has been updated with a lot of cool features lately, but its too bad distros like Ubuntu are always behind.
If you add Padoka Ppa,you will get latest stable Mesa.So that is not a problem.

Feral is fantastic.I mean they're really doing some good backstage improvements like that.Not like releasing a game and just enjoying the money.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

Torchlight 2

When i finish the normal campaign,i will look at mods.

Looks like the experimental Linux version of Arma 3 will get the 64bit treatment

That is not finished,it is experimental and when i buy it counts as a Windows buy.Damn...
I think you're the one that needs to reread that ;)
It says NO steam branches, you can only use the default one. You don't have to change anything to download the linux version (quite the contrary: if you change the steam branch you won't download the linux version).
Also they do keep track of linux users (otherwise they wouldn't be able to check whether their 'experiment' is successful or not).
No,you're not reading.

1-)It counts as a Windows sale

2-)They have feedback pages; they're not feedbacking through the game itself. Actually,i ve never heard a nonsense like that

3-)True,i misunderstood that.You need to press download and play.

Quoting: LeopardDon't get me wrong but VP is looking so noob and i think they can't manage this game.One of the longest ports ever.

If it is released some day,we will see Arma 4 is already out and this port is really bad and pushing away Linux people.
Arma 3 linux/mac port is already released, they are just porting next version as Arma 3 development still continues. Version 1.68 isnt complete yet even for windows, so the 1.68 linux/mac port cannot be complete either.
Ummm,no.Not released.Can you see Mac or Linux logos or sys reqs?No?I thought so

You're talking about accessing that by buying Windows version and doing some steps to access experimental port.

That is not a finished port,even they not finished the launcher.
The only step you need to do is click Install in steam, you have to do this for all the games you want to play on steam.

The Talos Principle has another stable build with Vulkan improvements, much better than OpenGL
4 Mar 2017 at 8:53 pm UTC

Quoting: natewardawgOkay, I did some benchmarks with DirectX 11 under Windows 10, Vulkan under Linux, and OpenGL under Linux. I ran the benchmark on a GTX 960 and an i7-6700K using the 60 second benchmark. If it says Ultra, then all settings were set to Ultra, for Medium, all settings were set to Medium, etc. If anyone wants to know a particular combination feel free to ask.

Here are the results:

D3D 11:
Ultra: 45.6
Medium: 172.6
Lowest: 355.2

Vulkan Linux:
Ultra: 41.6
Medium: 158.3
Lowest: 419.3

OpenGL Linux:
Ultra: 36.5
Medium: 101.0
Lowest: 263.2

So, we are getting much closer :) It's interesting when put on low settings that Vulkan completely smokes D3D11 by almost 70 fps. I'm wondering if this has to do with multi-threading vs the pseudo multi-threadedness of D3D11?
Yeah,it is most likely that.Because on lowest settings cpu became the frame limiter,on highest gpu became limiter.Cpu utilization on Vulkan is better than Dx 11 normally because Vulkan is competitor to DX12;which it is also good on cpu utilization.

Friday Livestream with Samsai at 6 PM UTC!
