Planet Nomads has a huge update named "Awakening" adding more animals, crash sites and more

Quoting: KetilI run it on ultra on my i7-3820, 16GB ram, nvidia 1060 3GB computer. It lag while it saves, and on an earlier version it lagged when I walked far away from where I had been before because it generated the landscape, but other than that I cannot complain about performance. Planet Nomads run better for me than both rust and ark.
It has very bad performance with Mesa on high settings.

It's not just not that good. Last time I tried it was horrendous on anything besides minimal settings, and I have a decent GPU. So I decided to wait until they'll switch to Vulkan.

Good to know, they are planning Unity update. Current version has very poor performance.

What games do you want ported to Linux? Feral Interactive want to know again

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: Avehicle7887Despite this game's 2 years old now, I bet many Linux users would buy it if it was ported.
No. That's the problem - the Linux users who want to play Witcher 3 have already bought it, and would want the Linux port "for free".
How do you know they already bought it? I'd guess once Wine will reach full support, number of Linux users who would buy it will grow, but until that happens, port still can boost sales quite a bit as well. Either way, CDPR will get some money.

Black Mirror, a gothic-horror adventure series re-imagining releases in November with Linux support

THQ Nordic are DRM-free friendly (they have a lot of games on GOG), so this is promising.

I never played the original series, but description reminds me of horror classic - Clive Barker's Undying [External Link].

It's available on GOG as well: https://www.gog.com/game/we_happy_few [External Link]

And they said [External Link] they'll publish some development updates about work on the Linux version, once they'll start it. I agree that their communication is great.

Compulsion are only going to start working on Linux support soon [External Link]. Hopefully some interesting update is coming.

AMD RX Vega GPUs released along with a new AMDGPU-PRO Driver
15 Aug 2017 at 4:56 pm UTC

Quoting: TT_ZXWell a GTX 1070 is over $400 NZ (about $284 US) cheaper here at the moment, so I won't be getting a Vega 64 any time soon. It gulps considerably more power too and consequently runs hotter. I look forward to the day when AMD can compete with NVIDIA on these fronts so I get kick NVIDIA to the curb.
GTX 1070 should be compared to Vega 56, not Vega 64. And there comparison makes more sense.

What games do you want ported to Linux? Feral Interactive want to know again

On a side note, is there any point in it? Do Feral actually try asking owners about porting most requested games? I.e. for example, what was the result of requesting The Witcher 3? Feral were asked to port it for a long time already.
