Quoting: WJMazepasI'm surprised that this game is even receiving updates at all on any platform

I gave it a quick spin, and it did seem to hold together when I used a plasma rifle on full auto. Went around Diamond City a couple of times causing trouble, and it seemed that the audio didn't have any issues. Will have to do further testing of course, and would love to get those FAudio patches for mainstream wine as well.
Ok, wow, hold on here: Are you saying that Fallout 4 now works with Steam Play right out of the box, or are there wine tweaks to be made first?
It does work out of the box howeer there are issues that can be resolved by fiddling around with the install however the best way to play fallout 4 under linux is with lutris the script has already been edited so all you have to do click install and play. IF there are any known issues they are explained in script notes before you click install

Quoting: GuestOnly unknown games in the whitelist, that’s disappointing.
Castlevania is not an unknown game

Quoting: mylkai mean ubisoft has a franchise for every year. what does epic have, when the fortnite hype is over?
Unreal Tournament. And an engine that they're not exactly going to make difficult to use with their store.
are you serious? who plays UT today? i think valve has more gamers play csgo, dota, tf2, left 4 dead
engine? everybody has an engine. ubisoft has more than 1 engine, vavle has an engine, ea has an engine

there are so many engines on the market. i think we all agree, that ubisoft has the best open world engine with assassins creed
and theres cyberpunk coming with its own engine. witcher 3 was beautiful til assassins creed origin came along

the most beautiful games dont use unreal engine
kingdom come. best forest.... cryengine

valve just needs to improve their engine and make left 4 dead 3, or a new dota, or cs and epic + fortnite have absolutlly no chance

and im pretty sure they have half life 3/portal 3 somewhere in case of emergency
Unreal Tournament is a famous brand, and Epic can move more money into it again if needed.
And that you're disregarding the Unreal Engine like that pretty much shows how little you understand of why Epic is such a major player.
and valve has more than 1 brand. as i said
l4d, cs, dota, tf, portal, hl
vavle even has more genres

i dont disregard the unreal engine, but it is 1 of many. nothing special
I know this is going to sound harsh, because text can be taken that way, but I mean this as something more akin to a constructive comment: you appear to have "Valve blinders" on. The original comment was about if Fortnite disappears, what do Epic have? They have Unreal Tournament. The original UT was up there with Quake3. It's really not hard for Epic to build more success around Unreal Tournament, and use that to continue to leverage their own store. And yes, that keeps them quite happily in competition with Valve.

Unreal Engine is quite special. Again, I don't think you quite realise just how special. Epic have additionally added a marketplace for content to add to it - something developers quite enjoy, and Epic are going to make it very easy to get their engine, develop on it, create a game with it, and publish to their store. That entire developer toolchain will make it very attractive to indies, and that's before the lower percentage cut taken by Epic. This is why Valve should be a little concerned.
Yeah Unreal engine is what Epic have and fortnite which was a failed single player game that became a hit when they turned it into a free battle royale game. But unreal tournament doesnt have draw anymore noone cares about arena shooters now. Hell you can get four or five good arena shooters for free right here on linux and the player base is in the hundreds if your lucky for all of them.

Quoting: mao_dze_dunThere are tons of Steam only games. Why is all of a sudden Epic evil for having 3rd party esxclusives?

Not saying its right but probably because Valve has a very odd white knight/saviour of gaming reputation not something i share but am guessing thats why. Valve have done a lot for linux and mac no doubt of course its not done out of the kindness of their hearts but there are worse companies to be sure.

Mesa 18.3.0 for those of you using the open source drivers
8 Dec 2018 at 12:37 am UTC

Quoting: DorritHi all.

As far as I understand (from Wikipedia mainly) Mesa is sort of a translator between APIs and graphics drivers, is that it?
AMD's opensource drivers are included in the kernel, so a newer kernel will bring newer drivers. But what about Mesa? Is it updated independently?
If your running ubuntu or something based on ubuntu there is a ppa with gallum nine and dxvk that is actively maintained
