I would love to see wine integrated in Linux steam

So you could download dx9c games and run the games in wine session
Similar to the dosbox wrapper games under windows steam

Quoting: RafiLinux* Never pre-order

Same , my cap on early access is USD$25

Madmax and JC3 have been both cracked
most of the Denuvo stuff gets cracked under 1-4 weeks now ,
it seems like a waste of money they could be paying programmers
to support vulkan / opengl / openal / sdl2 / dedicated servers / server browser / coop
instead of more forms of drm that impact legit customers

Does anyone actually have good info to explain how to make shaders for Vulkan

Does anyone have some good info to support vulkan in UE4 and Unity ?

It seems all info for this is bloody rare as unicorns to actually do some real world implementation

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: charliebrownauThis thread reinforces what I was thinking about PC gaming lately

PC gaming lacks (Be it windows or linux):-

* Fun arcade 8 player Multiplayer racing games (LAN and online)

* Hardcore rts games with base building with 8 player coop (LAN and online)

* Hardcore tactical shooters without unlocks/ranks/p2p matchmaking with 8 player coop (LAN and online)

For number two try Spring RTS (Balanced Annihilation). It is definitely hardcore coop.

@topic
what about motorbike games? Is there anything worth playing in 2017?

Good motobike games has basically disappeared aswell

For myself the 3 good bike games were

Motoracer 2 (Supported LAN OFFLINE)
Roadrash (Supported LAN OFFLINE)
and Motocross Madness (Supported LAN OFFLINE)

Hmm all 3 of those games were around the IPX/SPX coax networking days and windows 98se

Never pre order Retail releases (indie/small/aaa/multiplats)

Only pre ordering that seems okay with small risk is early access
but even with that you could pay for a product that never gets
finished 5 years later (Star Citizen and Bugbears wreakfest)
or 4 years later still doesnt have good working MP (Road rash remake)
or they drop support for linux (raft)

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: sr_ls_boyI read that Prey is working.

That's about the demo. The full game is denuvo infected, so won't work.

Nothing stopping a person buying it legit
Then downloading the cracked copy with DENUVO removed
and playing the whole thing single player offline

Quoting: ElectricPrism@charliebrownau -- I suspect that the latest mesa will perform the best. I get good enough frames on RX 480 to tackle anything at 1080p / 60hz.

You'll need the latest xorg-amdgpu driver and mesa driver. It also doesn't hurt to use the amd-staging kernel. In my experience Arch has been the best. If you have a spare drive and some time to give it a check I would download Manjaro and the related packages and give it a ago to confirm or deny this.

Thanks
If possible I would like to stay on the Debian/Ubuntu eco system

Can you use xorg-amdgpu/AMDGPU (opensource driver from AMD???) and MESA at the same time ???

Do I need a third driver to get vulkan working aswell ???
