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

Quoting: GuestWhy?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
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.

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

...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".

Looks good. Now if it supported OpenGL also, we would have a tool that would work across all Linux Games.
