Quoting: SadL
Quoting: XpanderWarhammer Online

then Warhammer Online and then a bit Warhammer Online....

addiction is real.. Return of Reckoning is amazing. Runs really good under wine also. I would say better than under windows 10, where people have lots of issues with it lol
Hold up.. I used to LOVE this one.. I guess you are referring to an unofficial server..are there any newbie players there or only old players min-maxing everything? are there lots of players? ..I will probably have to bookmark this..

Lots of new players now after LazyPeon video about this game. we hit the 3500 online yesterday. just about week ago 1200 people was max on prime time. now its booming :)

Quoting: 14Wait, Warhammer Online is still going? Gotta look into that!

EDIT: No, it's not still going. They must be continuing the support so that people can play Return of Reckoning, the private server that looks to still be alive. That's... kind of surprising, but cool to see Wine support that!

Yes its still going in Return Of Reckoning. It had bright ground texture issue due weird sRGB format used and it required d3dx9_34.dll which i reported to wine about month ago. Paul Gofman did the fixes, so its all nice now :)

Have been playing it a lot under linux. No crashes, no issues, while hearing all windows users have troubles :D

With 'next generation 4CPT vehicle physics' the racing game DRAG finally has a Steam page

Quoting: GuestWhy?

They developed the custom engine with OpenGL4 if I remember rightly, and dumping all that work to switch to Vulkan seems rather pointless. It is possible for good performance from GL4.x, especially if designed and written with it in mind from the start. Many of the features that are part of the more modern APIs were already making appearances in GL4.x too (especially GL4.3 if I remember rightly), which is why it's able to get that performance.

yeah GL4.3 had some things but iirc 4.5 or 4.6 has the Aproaching Zero Driver Overhead thingy, which in theory should bring OpenGL on bar with Vulkan if done right

Warhammer Online: Return Of Reckoning - My Go to PvP MMORPG fix. Works great with wine

Quoting: EikeDunno if anybody cares, but in German, the word "Handy" is used for mobile phone. It sounds like an English expression, but it seems it isn't. Wonder where that one comes from...

Its because you hold it in your hand, which is same in german and its handy to hold it in your hand lol :D

Logitech Wheel manager 'Oversteer' has a huge new release - also check out 'new-lg4ff' for more features

...talking about wheel and its new tool and then having a screenshot outside of cockpit view :whistle: :D

Nice tool. Though no Forcefeedback tweaking options for G920, since the drivers (with all the ffb forces) for this wheel are in kernel and do not work with the "new-lg4ff".
