I hope they fixed this mess: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 [External Link]

It would be the main reason for me to switch from Ryzen 7 1700X to 2700X.

Great game. I was replaying it in bombardier mode. Also, it apparently has references to other games like "They promised me cake" with a fake cake on a box (is that from Portal?).

Some secrets are pretty hard to find, and it's part of the fun. In game jokes an humor are quite good (some posters and paper notes are very funny).

UDPATE: just for the reference, GOG doesn't have the update yet.

Quoting: frakswenah i just wonder what counts as a linux sale, in my case i bought the game when i was on wintel but got the linux version aswell in the same deal.that's what "steamplay" refers to.

The concept of "sale" is quite moot here. More important is the concept of download. I.e. you are buying all versions at once. But when you download, you usually are getting one for your OS. So I suppose if you downloaded the Linux version, it should count as Linux download. I wonder what happens if you download all versions.

Quoting: omer666So how did they run their favourite games? They started to run the Windows versions... On Wine. I'd bet they'll keep doing this with 32bits-only games.

Except that Wine relies on 32-bit libraries (and kernel support) to run 32-bit games. So if Apple will bork it in macOS, Wine won't run any 32-bit games there either if I understand correctly. So it would be some incentive for them to switch to Linux. That already in some way happened, when Apple stopped updating OpenGL there.

I'm surprised that macOS is still above Linux sales. With Apple planning to kill 32-bit support in the future, I suspect at least a portion of macOS gamers will migrate to Linux (otherwise they'll lose their 32-bit games for good).

Does this mean they'll stop releasing 32-bit drivers altogether? So let's say Nvidia blob users won't be able to run 32-bit games anymore (including in Wine)? That's quite a huge amount of games really.

I'd assume it's AMD contributors. As far as I know, AMD have a plan to replace their pro stack with upstream Mesa (except for their amdvlk). So direct support for Mesa is expected.

Quoting: edodoes it helps nvidia cards as well?

It affects CPU, not GPU. In general it can help some games with different cards.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Do they though as if you go to the driver page and select linux the last update was march 17 last time i ran a amd gpu was the old faithful 7770 so have no idea what its like these days but when i rocked that things were bad.

Mesa is supported through upstream. You aren't supposed to use pro packages, they are targeted for legacy users who need compat profile.
