Quoting: jaguaris it time to go AMD route for our next graphic card? (almost same perf than nvidia closed + open source driver)
is it possible to run the latest AAA with the open source driver?

Generally speaking, of course it is possible to run latest AAA games like Deus Ex Mankind with amdgpu/radeonsi. However, for several reasons, you have a more stable experience with Nvidia hardware and their closed-source driver at the moment (but this may differ in future).

I certainly will build AMD hardware into my next rig. Though I have to keep in mind that I won't get all performance out of the hardware on Linux (in contrast to my current Intel/Nvidia setup). Still I prefer the way AMD is going and I like to support it. As I mostly play CS:GO, Civilization and XCOM, it's currently no big deal for me to get about 80% of the graphics performance compared to a Windows setup.

Quoting: kshade

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: kshadeGood port? it doesn't have borderless window fullscreen (always comes back up automatically and misaligned when you tab out) and crashes once or twice before it actually loads a game.

Sounds like an issue with your WM, never had that issue.

I'm using XFCE, not issues with anything else.

I also have problems with Alt-Tab on XFCE. As a workaround to successfully switch out of the game, I assigned a "Show Desktop" shortcut (Settings Manager > Window Manager > Keyboard).

I'm super excited about what Croteam does. I love the Serious Sam series since the good old LAN party times. I own most of their games and especially TTP is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Keep up the great work Croteam, you really deserve my respect and so my money!

I really hope, a release is coming soon as I made the mistake to buy the game a year ago, when it was announced to be released on Linux.

Still I trust the developer. After this news, I'm looking forward again to play this game in the near future.

I have bought the retail version of this game, but didn't activate the key yet.
Will this count as a "Linux buy" once I activate it on Feb 9th?
