OBS Studio 30.2 is out now with native NVENC encode for Linux, shared texture support

AMF relies on same Vulkan video. So if it's crashing with radv it won't work with radv over AMF too. Meaning for AMF you'd need amdvlk then. So what's the point. OBS can use same Vulkan video over same amdvlk (or radv when it's ready). Basically, AMF is redundant and not needed at all.

If ffmpeg is lagging behind with Vulkan video support, then I guess it should catch up too.

Quoting: pete910Why not include AMF too while they where at it? I know I can use va-api but it sucks compared to AMF.
AMF uses Vulkan video. So better ask, why not include Vulkan video directly to OBS?

I wish there was support for easy streaming over local network. Right now there are some hacks for it, but they don't work with GPU acceleration.

Conquests of the Longbow [External Link] is one of my favorites.
I watched an excellent video [External Link] about Conquests of the Longbow recently - I'd never even heard of it before then! :shock:
Yeah, it's good! It was written by Christy Marx.

GOG has a manual with interesting history of the game and very cool art.

Quoting: NexxticGame is available DRM-free on Steam. No launcher required
I'd rather buy it on GOG or Itch.io. Any plans to release there? They do accept early access games, though I don't mind waiting until full release.

I tried to get into the game but got quickly bogged down by too many details. I was looking for something similar to Freelancer, with more focus on space exploration and etc. But it felt differently.

NVIDIA exploring ways to support an upstream kernel mode GPU driver

I don't get this part:

Use cases have been identified for which separating the core GPU programming out of the full DRM driver stack is a strong requirement from our key customers.
Why does it need separating?
