Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: scaineI don't get who/what these cards are aimed at? This behemoth will likely retail for well over a grand, given that the plain 1080s are still around the £500-600 mark and the TI edition is £800-900. I mean, there's top-end gaming, and then there's just flushing money out the window!

Best part is,it is limited 2 per customer:D

Well goddam! They've lost my business then! :D

Quoting: HyperdriveDumb question: How do I make my Ubuntu 16.04 run with Vulkan instead of OpenGL and is there a negative impact to this?

For Nvidia cards, you just add this PPA [External Link] to your system, then make sure that you're using the 375 driver or above (378?). Then each game itself has to support Vulkan - that list is pretty small right now!

That page was actually made partially due to Patron cancellations due to the website "being built on the content/contributions of many"

Liam, it's really pretty bizarre to hear that anyone would cancel their patreon because they thought you were somehow "stealing" or failing to acknowledge others' work. This site would be a ghost-ship without you, as proven by the two times you've stepped down for holidays/personal reasons.

It's even more meaningless when you realise that many of the other contributors to this site are also your patrons, myself included.

Weird stance to take!

Great news... and I've got a new PC arriving in a week. Perfect timing for me to dip back into Mad Max and finish it off! Well done, Feral. Will Deus Ex get the same treatment, I wonder?

Quoting: Nanobang

We are aiming to release the game for Linux after the PC and Mac versions.

Uh oh.

To be more accurate we're very confident we can build the game for Linux, but we don't have a proper environment yet to see what type of work is required to get it running properly (plus testing).

They sound so gosh darn plucky here. "Linux? Oh pshaw! Speaking purely as a person crassly ignorant of Linux, I'm sure that'll be no problem for us." Yes, of course. The good ol' "We'll-cross-that-bridge-when-we come-to-it approach to project management." Oh the many video-games created thereby, softly landing in Linux like a sky full of butterflies alighting upon an alpine meadow full of edelweiss.

My breath remains un-bated.

Sure, but it's not like they promised something and area only now stumbling about failing to deliver. So nothing wrong with some plucky optimism in my opinion. Fingers crossed.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Hopefully they get that build out.

Quoting: Cheeseness

Quoting: scaineWell, I've played a bit more now and I've discovered one further bug - playing with an Xbox360 controller "works" but with the condition that the analogue thumbsticks don't work in menus. You have to use the D-Pad. Worse, up is down and down is up!

Do you get this with the main branch? IIRC one has the menu inverted and the other doesn't - it's been a while and I don't have it installed at the moment to check.

I'll give the main branch a go when I get a chance. I'm definitely on the LinuxBeta branch though.

Still, you'll only use the menu, generally, to start/exit the game, so it's not the end of the world. Odd that the Steam Controller is unaffected through, given that I'm using an Xbox360 configuration on it!
