Warhammer Online - Return Of Reckoning [External Link] Private server. Been playing it for the Last 6 months or so. Love the epic PvP Battles in this game. Keep Sieges, Fortresses and City Sieges. Currently also leveling an alt, Sorceress Class, which is really powerful, but dies quick if caught :)
Spoiler, click me

Missing out on VibranceGUI for Linux? There's a project for that and now a fork for AMD too

I don't really get why you would extra tool for that as nvidia-settings also provides those features. But having for both vendors in the same place is a good thing ofc.

Get ready to putt as 'Golf With Your Friends' releases on May 19

Quoting: EhvisI do hope they fix the Linux (OpenGL) issues before final release. It is a fantastic game for the price, but I don't think they really test the OpenGL builds as the new worlds start out with tons of LOD/clipping issues. The last two courses were full of them, which makes it not so fun to play.
yeah i hope that too. it runs good and looks good but some courses are really buggy on linux client. like you said clipping issues and lighting issues. But other than that its awesome fun with friends. lots of screams!

Quoting: Xpanderso its 14 countries only? where the F is the list of countries?...
I thought it might have been the countries that Stadia has released in, but that's purely a guess.

I signed up through the android app.
yeah through android app it says the app is not available for your country...
its stupid that it just says "something went wrong" on the browser then. its like windows errors.

Warhammer Online [External Link] - Like the last 4-5 months, great PvP MMORPG. Return of Reckoning server.

DOOM Eternal [External Link] - Since the nvidia 440.66.07 performance is great. runs extremely smoothly. Cutscenes are bit annoying at times but rest of the game is amazing.

Quoting: Xpanderdoesnt seem to show up with Warhammer Online (wined3d)
I know there has been some issues with launchers in the past, is it possible to bypass the launcher in that game?
sadly nope. its needed for authentication

doesnt seem to show up with Warhammer Online (wined3d), probably because launcher is 32bit and WAR itself is 64bit. Though it shows in the logs that it loads the conf file fine. But nothing shows up.

works fine with glxgears though and ofc with vkcube

I knew I'd trigger someone. Looks more like Witcher 1? Have you even played Witcher 1?! Don't be absurd. https://youtu.be/1fUGFmmikn4 [External Link]
That video you linked is probably not running on max settings even, but still ther's a difference.. yeah Witcher 1 comparsion was oversaturated, but the difference really is night and day, i have seen both versions (on PS4 pro and on PC) in real life :)

Here more acurate what the difference is:

Quoting: 14... The Witcher 3 had the same graphics on PC and PS4, but I am suspecting that won't be the case with Cyberpunk, so I'd rather experience the PC version.
What are you even talking about? Witcher 3 on PS4 looks more like Witcher 1 on PC. Even on PS4 pro. Textures are lower, everything is more blurry, detailed rendering distance is super low on PS4 Pro, Shaders that make the materials like clothes look excellent on PC are not there, Shadows are much weaker on PS4 and distant effects, like smoke, mist etc are all lower detailed... there are more ofc. but its quite night and day imo
