Quoting: t3gConsidering the recent shootings where Republicans are blaming games for them, this game released at a bad time and is in bad taste. Especially school shootings.

I would actually tend to blame school shootings for games like this…

Not saying it isn't a vicious circle, but the causation is unclear in the other direction.

My R9 Fury keeps hanging on various games:

• Risk of rain 2 (the scorched acres stage will trigger this)


• No man's sky (at some point, if I follow the main storyline, it hangs)


• Ryze, son of rome


• Verdun hung the GPU once


• Mad Max: Changing the graphics settings to high hung the GPU two days ago, which it didn't use to

So I set out to compile my own mesa-git and llvm-git. As compilation with 16 threads is quite intensive on my CPU, I couldn't play realtime games where timing is important. That's why I mostly played FTL: Faster Than Light, and Crypt of the Necrodancer with bard. It was actually my first time with the latter game. I'm hooked!

I'm starting to suspect a hardware failure on my GPU, would someone with the same be willing to try and reproduce some of my hangs?
I hate it, as the system doesn't recover in case of such hangs, and I have no logs to share.

I use Sway by the way :D

It is worth noting that, at 1.2M over 3 years, which averages to 400k per year, Epic's grant is 13 times higher than ubisoft's (if you take 30k/year [External Link] at least over the first three years.
Which one indicates most commitment ? I wouldn't really know, but ubisoft's sounds more long-term.

Quoting: Alm888I wonder, what Autodesk® had done to piss these guys off so much that they openly started undermining its dominance by supporting the direct competitor? :huh:

Usually, Big Bucks Companies stick to each other.

Ubisoft was pretty explicit about this in their interview: they have specific needs, thus like the ability to modify their tools. Previously, they had to spend quite a bit on their in-house animation tools, and they expect to spend less on development costs, while both reaping benefits from the huge manpower behind blender, and contribute back some of their improvements (likely the not-so-specific ones).
It's the free software mindset, quite literally. At least from reading the announcement. Usually, companies tend not to contribute that much back (but then, so do users).

Nice to see fixes for the mouse detection feature. I tried to leverage it, but it wasn't working correctly. Now, I hope it will! The menu was also quite buggy (with advanced deadzones not working... I'll see if they fixed that too).

I also noticed some options I hadn't seen before, to force the Big Picture overlay per-game (IMO this should be the default when launched from a controller).

Quoting: ElectricPrismAnyone playing this with Eldewrito yet?

I just tried the "Halo online" install script from Lutris. Didn't work out of the box, so I drag and dropped those D9VK dlls into the folder, and everything now seems to be working fine :)

I'm eager to try the multiplayer, but I need some time first :)

Now someone cook us a splitscreen script! :D

This is on sway/wayland, btw.

Quoting: GuestNvidia: releases the driver with the hardware on the same day, even for linux.
AMD: "We are targeting a launch day driver [for Linux] but Windows obviously takes priority"(https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/07/02/will-amd-radeon-rx-5700xt-graphics-cards-support-linux-gaming/#4e6d19043af9)

Didn't AMD have launch-day driver support? Only the Vulkan bits weren't (and still aren't) open source yet (AMDVLK), but RADV devs are taking care of that.

Open source integration often means release cycles decoupled from hw releases, which can sometimes lead to support delays, but I'm not buying HW (or software) on day 1, anyways.

Quoting: ThormackAny signs of full support to Optimus system?

(I mean, change integrated to dedicated card without reloging).

Note: if anyone wants to do that with the full open stack (might require Wayland as well?), prefixing the command with DRI_PRIME=true should be enough to launch it on the dedicated GPU.

All right, my GPU now systematically hangs when starting the new stage (from the latest update).

At least, I can reproduce. Reported there: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111020 [External Link]

Highly anticipated. I just rewatched the trailer, it is looking gorgeous as ever. Also, I just noticed the HEV zombie at 0:46 :D

I'm somehow getting a Dofus/Wakfu feeling from looking at this :)
