AMD _do_ employ people to fix Mesa.
Valve do as well.

That's not the point. Of course those devs fix bugs from time to time.
But they usually add missing features to Mesa. Their main task is not to ensure product quality.
This is a job someone else has to do but currently there is no one in AMDs team.
Intel team has someone like that,I really don't understand why it is so hard to believe AMD needs someone too.

What are you even talking about?

Of course AMD has people working on driver quality. It's easy to see if you bother checking the mesa git log [External Link]. New features get more news exposure than less exciting bug fixes, but that doesn't mean they're the only thing being worked on or even the main focus of AMD developers.

Do they though as if you go to the driver page and select linux the last update was march 17 last time i ran a amd gpu was the old faithful 7770 so have no idea what its like these days but when i rocked that things were bad.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTDoes someone have the possibility to try out Battlefield 3 and 4?

BF3 I don't think will work because of Battlelog.
[...]

Do you happen to have a link to something explaining how to make BF4 work ? All I can see is a Garbage status for the game on WineHQ and can't find any relevant info on making it actually work :(

This!

Maybe you could set up instructions on WineHQ if you get it working. I will try and do the same. You should state in that case it's been achieved by DXVK - hopefully they will accept that.

https://lutris.net/games/battlefield-4/ [External Link] lutris has a working script there are some steps you need to do lutris will install and config origin and dxvk but the game will have to be installed manually it is detailed in the tab

Quoting: GuestYeah, it's sad a tiny vocal minority can give a bad image of the Linux community as a whole. Insulting developers for games, what a shame ! Some people need to grow up :)

I agree 100 percent I do genuinely believe that the people being vocale are the ones that code themselves they see linux as a open easy to develop for platform and anything that does not run flawlessly at release is obiviously down to incompetence or lazyness. I have noticed that the linux community is very militant about many things but linux gaming is one of them just seems to bring out the worst in the harcore linux for life crowds. I get being annoyed a game you paid for doesnt play well with your system at least we have steam refunds, bottom line error reports with crash reports being sent and a description of the game error helpful. Long ramble rant about learning to linux brah not so much.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Well i am not bound by NDA so its Project red they pretty much refuse to port anything else to linux because they actually got death threats for the port of witcher 2 which is pathetic to highest degree.

In this case, I'm not talking about that one as we only have the word of the VP dev we wrote about before. Nothing's ever been confirmed on that one.

I can dig it up but i have a quote from pr twitter rep that pretty much confirms it accept he says communuity backlash and negative unacceptable social media harrasment certainly did not help the cause

Dying Light: Bad Blood the new standalone game from Techland is currently going to be Windows-only during the Beta period. When I last spoke to Techland, they weren't sure if it will see Linux support later or not.

I would like it to happen. I need it on Linux :). Unfortunately, when browsing some forums, whether it's steam or reddit etc, I see another wave of hate from (angry) Linux community on Techland developers for DL and DI ports...

If these two young Techland developers responsible for the Linux/OpenGL port read this wave of hate, I would not be surprised if they decided to not port it to Linux, same as a CDPR with Witcher 3 ...

Yes, it's a repeating problem. The thing that bothers me, is I speak to developers literally every day, people like to think that hate goes in one ear and out the other at bigger companies, but it really doesn't. Our market share is too small to deal with hateful shits giving developers hate, because higher-ups hear this tiny market share is causing them hassle and then end up not doing it again and believe me, it's happened a few times (I can't say who due to NDAs). Be polite to developers, even if you have issues.

Quoting: frykDoes anyone know if they fixed the "Your game appears to be using modified data" bug? Last time I tried I could not play multiplayer games with Windows-users. I was really looking forward to that gaming session...

Multiplayer has been fixed for a while dude

Quoting: KelsThis looks good, but it makes me want to see more games that call back to the 32-bit era of the PSX and Saturn.

you mean the early polygon 3d games or the more colours sharper 2d games because i would love to see sharper 2d games i went through the 16 bit the first time this does look good and i am going to pick it up but as much as its fun to play the odd throwback, I would like some sharper looking games.
