The beautiful space combat game 'EVERSPACE' finally lands on Linux in an unofficial form
8 Sep 2017 at 4:36 pm UTC

Quoting: KohriasNice. I will buy it and give it a try with mesa git on AMD.
Since I can't test it as of now (it's Steam only), if it works with Mesa, can you please reach out to developers and tell them that Mesa is working and it's good enough to release officially even if it's not working with closed AMD driver? Also, if it's not working, please open some Mesa bugs about it and post here. Thanks!

Looks like it's GOG limitation at the moment. They don't support in-development versions individually (per OS), so they can't release unfinished Everspace for Linux.

I'll contact developers about it, may be they can release binaries on their site that would work with GOG files.

I'd like to test it with Mesa, but where is the GOG release?

And still zero bugs here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=everspace [External Link]

So I'm not sure they are following right procedures needed for these issues to be resolved.

Wine Staging 2.16 is out with more D3D11, D3D8 & D3D9 work and fixes for games like The Witcher 3

Witcher 3 fixes are welcome, but the major one for Mesa is game breaking (freeze in Velen). I just can't play the game with it.

Iron Harvest, an RTS set in the alternate reality of 1920+ should hopefully see Linux support

I wonder if KING Art plan to work on The Dwarves 2. I really enjoyed the first game.

Quoting: sr_ls_boyI tried the saves from Shmerl @43273. And the freeze is happening
for me as well. I last compiled Mesa on Aug. 19th. , for my RX 460.
Can you please comment in the bug with your findings? Developers need some reminder that this bug is still here ;)

I thought may be newer amdgpu from display code branch can fix it, but I didn't try that custom kernel yet.

Feel free to test, and add your comments there. This bug is completely game breaking for me, so I've stopped playing TW3 until it will be fixed.

Planet Nomads drops plans to have co-op and multiplayer

Personally, I don't mind and think it's good they'll focus all their resources on single-player, but I can understand that some who were waiting for multiplayer specifically might get upset.
