Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun beta patch dramatically improves performance and load times
23 Feb 2018 at 9:29 am UTC

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.

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.

btf stands for Bild und Tonfabrik (Image and sound factory) which is a producer of TV Shows and 2 smaller Point and Click games you probably never heard of. The PnC games they made were in direct connection to one of the TV Shows they produce ("Neo Magazin Royale", a satirical comedy show. The guy in the Video who asks if he is the main character, is the host of that show.).

I haven't played their games, both are not available for Linux, even created with Unity. Who's interested in the games, they are available for smartphones too but in German only, you can download the first one for free: Game Royale 1 [External Link], Game Royale 2 [External Link]. But Keep in mind, if you don't know the TV Show you might not have any connection to the story of the games.

Those games were added already a week ago when the Halloween sale started. The Halloween sale will end in ~10 hours, those games will probably disappear at the same time from GOG COnnect.
