Quoting: YaumeisterLooking forward to the patch, as of right now the game just crash to desktop for me when I try clicking on New Game in the main menu.
update is live already, fixes most issues.

but now i have cursor offset with a 2560x1440 resolution. i guess it doesnt scale the window properly and thinks its 1080p.

Give those guys a break. They managed to pull out the Linux version just with 1 week after steam community asked for it. They have patch in the works to fix the issues as said in the same thread in steam community.

The Humble Down Under Bundle is a very good deal for Linux gamers

Nice, i can finally try Hurtworld. Always wanted to get that game but the price was way too much for a game that doesn't even advertise linux support. Rest of the games i either have or don't care about

GTA-inspired game 'Riskers' could see a Linux version with enough support

Their PR team sent me a email about this game. I had hard time to get the info if its available for linux or not, so i sent them email back asking this.. but seems it wont be on linux just yet then.

BATTALION 1944, a competitive WW2 FPS looks like it may come with Linux support

Square Enix is the publisher it seems. Also theres no system requirements for Linux client yet, so this is not a good indicator really

Quoting: natis1Also updating or downgrading Nvidia driver version at least on Linux can cause the steam survey to retrigger on Linux (and there's probably similar problems on Windows too) so it's not exactly a hard survey to "game."
i upgrade the nvidia driver all the time when latest version comes out, yet i have only been getting a survey prompt 3 times during all those years steam on linux.

heck i have gotten more surveys when i launched steam in wine and that happens super rarely

Quoting: Guesti got my take on this but man this awesome news.and you know what i don't care if i waste a champagne bottle time to celebrate because something big is happening. View video on youtube.com
a bit overly optimistic video :) but one can always dream.

I think there has to be some sort of error in the data.. lets say that 3% as it was before was 20 million people (it was probably more though). Now it should be 20 million people more just out of nowhere... haven't heard any news that some governments switched to linux fulltime. Maybe some African countries got into internet the first time? i still doubt it would be that huge gain though.

This is supposed to be Ultra. I would really like to see a screenshot from a similar location. The screenshot is Värmland, Sweden, Elgsjön (Sprint), Midday / Sunny.
i can make a screenshot tomorrow if someone doesnt beat me...

but yeah i dont remember seeing such a blocky shadows
I went shadow hunting last night, and true enough, if I drove right next to the snowbank in Sweden I did find some shadows with blocky edges. Never noticed them before either. They seem to be most noticeable in the cabin and dashboard views.

This doesn't mean that the screenie in the article is fake like Linas suggested. Environmental shadows look smooth enough if they're even a bit further away (or if you're actually moving). They wouldn't look blocky in that particular view.

Sorry, I didn't think of making that screenshot. Or checking my settings. I blame the flu and the fever. It did look similar to what Linas saw though.
i made a screenshot.. and indeed theres a blocky shadows.. never noticed them before :D cause i usually dont stop on the road :D
