Quoting: MohandevirTalking about GoG... It seems, but I'm not sure what to make of that, that one of the threads requesting a Linux port of the GoG Galaxy client just got changed to "In progress"... What does that could mean?

The answer is - there isn't a way, unless there is a probable cause. To put it differently, searching through someone stuff becomes justified if someone is investigating a crime or something. But to do it preemptively - that's already a problem and overstepping of privacy. DRM oversteps it always, so that should give a hint that it's never valid.

Quoting: JauThe thing is : we don't care about ES. ES is not SM5.
So, are they still lacking all those high end features in their Vulkan renderer, like the archived Trello item was supposed to track?

https://trello.com/c/lzLwtb5P/124-vulkan-for-pc-and-linux [External Link]

Full support for UE4’s high-end rendering features utilizing the Vulkan API on both Windows and Linux including parallel rendering to take advantage of all available CPU cores.
I tried to get some feedback on it, but no one provided any info on what's going on, why it was archived and what they are planning to do about it.
