OpenGL vs Vulkan in Mad Max, re-tested
4 Apr 2017 at 8:33 pm UTC Likes: 4

Really good piece of work. I saw some guys suggesting that Feral had put the regression on purpose. Personally I think that some people are just too quick in making judgments and accusations, which I don't think it is fine at all.

Great news! Hopefully Vulkan will set the tone (I think it is already doing that) for future Linux versions of games. And kudos for the Feral guys. Great work.

Blazing Chrome, a classic co-op run ‘n gun plans Linux support

Quoting: rafebelmontIt is very nice to see a Brazilian studio continuing to make games. I have Oniken and Odallus in my steam account, I have yet to play them but it seems two very nice games. Hopefully this one turns out great. One thing though is that Odallus does not have Linux support, it works fine in Wine.
I have the original Oniken in my library and installed. Only the unstoppable edition is on Steam now with Windows only listed. Hmmm. When I click the store link for my edition, it take some to the unstoppable edition page.
The same is happening here. When i bought the game it had Linux support, but Steam only has a listing for the unstoppable edition, which has only the Windows support symbol. Weird...

Great news! Sadly my budget does not allow me to buy anything right now, but I will make sure to buy this one later. I am eager to play it for the first time. See if it is all that....

The developers of 'Ticket to Ride' have abandoned Linux support for their game

I understand if they don't want (or don't have the resources) to put more DLC to Linux users. But why drop support entirely?

Well, I think the only place where it will hurt is in their pockets. Everyone who is feeling let down by the develper should apply for a refund right now. I know I would if I had the game.

This bug happens on XFS on partitions around 2TB. The edge size is somewhat lower, but for sure on 2 and above. Not sure how else you can test it.

Reported it here: http://redmine.beamdog.com/issues/29687 [External Link]
Yeah, I saw this link on the forum post. I was interested in reproducing it for the bug report to get more attention from the devs. I think I will post a reply there anyway.

Quoting: ShmerlGood. I really hope it will be 64-bit. It's pretty annoying that all previous Beamdog games are 32-bit, and they all suffer from the infamous "no LFS support" bug.

Please, comment here if you care: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/63906/please-make-upcoming-planescape-torment-ee-64-bit-on-linux [External Link]

This is exciting news for me who is one of the guys that has always wanted to try Planescape Torment but never had the chance. Especially now that it should have a Linux version so it is a good idea to support them.
