Beyond a Steel Sky now confirmed for Linux PC on July 16

I'm surprised anyone would release anything for Apple first. Does Apple pay for such kind of stuff?

Anyway, looking forward to the game release.

If anyone missed, GOG version of the original also has a comic that serves as story background for the game.

Thanks for all the work you do and especially reaching out to developers for information about their Linux plans. They often pay more attention to journalists than to regular people asking questions. And the bigger GOL gets, the more they pay attention.

That's a major milestone! Next big step - enabling ACO for radeonsi (OpenGL).

Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York set to release in Q3 2020

Nice. But I wish they'd updated Coteries of New York with more story branching. It was too linear. Or at least they can make choices and consequences more prominent in Shadows of New York.

Quoting: furaxhornyxExcept that it currently doesn't seem to work reliably (in X11 at least). I tried rebooting with only my Gsync monitor, but Gsync was only active in a Gsync demo and some games (enabled in Dead Cells, disabled in Crucible for example). But that's another story ;)
Can't say about Gsync, it's not a standard but some proprietary Nvidia only protocol. Standard adaptive sync is using regular DisplayPort features. It works very reliably for me.

Quoting: EikeIf I had such a setup, i'd disable the second monitor for gaming to get what I payed for.
Yep, indeed. If you have a high quality monitor, you can disable the worse one while you are playing something to get full benefit from adaptive sync and high refresh rate.

Wayland compositors should support mixed cases better.

Quoting: furaxhornyxI really like this idea, however, I am wondering how this would work with multiple monitors ?

For example, I have 2 monitors, one is 180Hz with Gsync, and the other is 75Hz, so technically I could play at 180Hz (max) with Gsync enabled, (like I did when I was using Windows), but under linux, I am capped at 75Hz with no Gsync...

So I am afraid that the answer to these question will be biased.
I guess the same way it works now with question for resolution? The answer only allows one option.
