Factorio will have a price increase this month and leave Early Access soon
1 Apr 2018 at 11:33 pm UTC

The game is worth 60€, so even 30€ is still a bargain and well deserved. Most people I know and play Factorio have high 3 digit hours of playtimes on it. Me included :)

Wine 3.5 is out with their own Vulkan loader and plenty of fixes for games
31 Mar 2018 at 5:45 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestSorry to sound dumb, but how do I enable this Vulkan-Loader?
You don't, it is enabled by default since Wine 3.5.

However, I found out that I've had to delete the Windows folder from my previous generated Wineprefix to have it work. Probably some previous created libraries don't work together with Wine 3.5 and delete the whole Windows folder is the easiest way.

If you have added any registry keys before (Wine-Vulkan), you should remove those as well. Those aren't needed with Wine 3.5 and might create conflicts.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun beta patch dramatically improves performance and load times

Runs absolutely great now, with never lower than 180FPS! Now the game will be more fun as it was already.

Mimimi promised a performance patch after the console release and they have delivered. But it took a long time, the game was released over a year ago.

AMD's first Ryzen Desktop APUs with Vega graphics are now available

The Ryzen 3 uses thermal paste (like Intel does on all their CPUs) instead of solder. With the boxed cooler, it will get up to incredible 83°C in Prime (so without even using the iGPU). But granted, it's just $99 before taxes, so this is to keep it that low in price.

But according to this test [External Link] (German | Google Translate link [External Link]) it's wiping the floor with the Intel CPU (especially with the iGPU).

Though, they were not able to get Ubuntu 17.10 with Kernel 4.15 to boot with the Raven Ridge.

Yes, you even have an overlay to see how good, or bad, the attractiveness is.

XCOM 2 for Linux has been updated, also there's a new XCOM 2 Collection

Still no update for me. What's this, some kind of lottery? Or was the update only to the DLCs? Because then it's clear why I haven't got any update yet.

Yes, they might come to Linux, which is still not clear. I won't hold my breath :)

CRYENGINE to get improved Linux support
15 Jan 2018 at 11:36 am UTC

However, that's only for getting your game onto the platform[...]
Like there would be any Linux game, based on the CryEngine, at all, right? SNOW had initial Linux support, but it was so broken, that the developers cancelled it and pulled the Linux client back. We should get Homefront: The Revolution, but that's cancelled too. Any other CryEngine game for Linux out there?

Train Station Simulator may come to Linux, developer looking for testers

Don't forget to wishlist the game on Steam, if you are interested in it. So the developers see that there is demand for a Linux version.
