Quoting: rkfg(...) but I use The Jaw Metric. If my jaw drops after looking at the screenshots, it's AAA.

This and "WTFs/min" should be web-standards!

You can't have any WTF's/min if you don't have that code review...

Quoting: LeopardBut because of the high Windows 7 usage ; devs cannot move forward to Dx12 with ditching other api's. But on Vulkan , they can.

It is not limited to Win10 , despite Dx12 is.

I am really glad with the influx of chinese games in steam right now...
That has put the installed base of Win10 quite a bit back...
So vulkan is now a very very good target.
You need DX12 if you want to do Xbox, but I've heard that Dx12 for xbox is totally different from Dx12 for win10.

If you are a guppy, isn't so big you can't remember where you have been?

Quoting: rat2000Isn't the methodology the survey that we participate at random times? I think it just checks then the OS Steam is running on and that's it.

According to the last survey timestamps I've had a survey a few times, but I don't even know how it looks like. Although I vaguely remember something during the winex/cedega period.

My surveydate on my steam machine was 2017-07-05, which of course is a lie...

Oh nice... I loved you don't know jack... I had it on my Ouya(!) and it is I think the only game I like to play with other people that happen to be in the same room.
It was a hit and miss due to the android jackbox controller client not being able to find the game. But these days multicast should just work.

Quoting: m0nt3It is slightly better one mesa now. As long as you dont look at the water it renders correctly, the water render correctly on "The Island" however it will give off a large white blob.

The lastest patch has a fix for those issues according to the release log...
Haven't tried it since...
Edit: sorry, I read white flash... I have no idea how it works on mesa... I have to upgrade my desktop pc for that.

Quoting: abelthorneAnd the survival aspect overall: unlike a classic deathmatch game like Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament, you don't respawn in PUBG; when you die, it's over. So, there's more tension, more stress, more strategy, more skill involved. And more luck, unfortunately.

Are you kidding? Unreal Tournament was all about Last-man-standing (to me).
To be clear: I never liked deathmatch, as that was about who got the most kills. Last man standing needs brains and stealth, and a good hideout 8-D. LMS+Low Grav... No instagib.
If you see me, my tag is DirtyCamper 8-D.

Quoting: GuestI've seen the name about, but have no idea what this pubg thing is. That's probably a comment about complete lack of interest if it's not available on GNU/Linux.

PUBG is the reason why linux only accounts for 0.2% of the platforms in use on steam.
Chinese people playing PUBG on windows 7 to be exact.

I've seen this game a long time in the Gear VR store... So in a sense the VR version kinda is already running on "linux".

I just couldn't push myself to buy it... It demands social interactions.

Quoting: GuestWhen this game was first advertised i wanted to buy it, as i like games with a survival aspect. Thankfully i didn't, it seems like it's always severely bugged. Also, I think the 60-100€ price tag seems way too high, considering you can get games of this kind for ~20€.

I've bought it for 20 euro, back in 2015, got my fair share of fun out of it. I saw massive upgrades to the game that only made the game play better on linux.
I also lost my first home, because the map was updated and it changed into a snow biome, in which I lasted 1 minute.
I've thrown money away to projects that were not as fun as I thought. But I didn't waste it on ARK, I still feel every euro spend was a euro spend well. I still hope vulkan will come to ark, and that it will fix most of the linux glitches. I don't care about having the same visuals as the windows version though.
I have bought all DLC's when they came out, and I still spend less money on ARK than on other games.
There is only one game that I really regret having spend time and money on: mobile strike.
No really, if you want to complain about something, that's the game.

The real disappointment in ARK is that they request 60 euro for the base, and those glitches aren't worth 60 euro's. Another one is that I don't see how they continue getting money. Online gameplay needs server leases... How long are they going to keep that up? There is a moment that can't be paid out of the game sales. Otoh: how long would the game exist and sell when there was a subscription?
