Quoting: subI love it how AMD managed to get the design win for this again.

AMD has a long history of working with partners on custom solutions. Nvidia has done it occasionally, and always manages to piss off and/or screw over their partner in some way or another.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy(barring issues like not feeling like spending money on support)

Unfortunately, I think that too often that is the primary issue (it's no secret there were Linux builds of Doom, not to mention some of the Blizzard games when Sam Lantinga was there).

Seems like an odd combo; I would think most players would want mostly one or the other of the football/soccer, or the adventuring. Can a single game really pull off both aspects well, without frustrating players?

Quoting: GuestThe problem with the Distro identification is that you'll need to pasted you're Steam Systeminfo and sometimes it just sais "Linux 4.x" on various distributions.
openSUSE did as well (now it reports themselves properly as openSUSE) not sure if this was caused by the Distro or by Steam.

Steam uses LSB to determine the distro, and falls back if that's not installed. On Fedora, "sudo dnf install redhat-lsb-core" was enough to get it showing correctly. The "redhat-lsb" package pulls in tons of other dependencies, including qt3, which is why I had removed it previously...

Quoting: SalvatosI feel like they seriously missed an opportunity here by not making the fridge say "Put your meat in me" :|

Obvious joke is obvious?

Quoting: einherjarIt's some kind of "half hearted" Linux support.

For those who weren't around back then:

Quoting: PatolaWhat's the problem with ... Larian Studios (which made Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition for Linux, but not Divinity Original Sin 2)?

It was a quite long delay on the Linux port, which was promised as part of the Kickstarter. I understand it was a good port when it was finally released; haven't gotten around to playing it myself.

Quoting: wvstolzingWait, which '9' did Apple skip over? The pre-unix system was called MacOS 9 (in fact they kind of 'skipped over' *8* by retiring it early)

I thought they skipped from 8 to OSX, and then grudgingly did 9 since OSX was still buggy, but wikipedia tells me I am misremembering. Oops. :dizzy:
