So, how does that work, Feral? Am I supposed to setup a recurring wire transfer from my bank account to yours? :D

I really, really hope that this game will support the Steam controller API as well. That would future-proof it when it comes to racing wheels.
On the other hand, I am not sure there has been a single game that Feral ported which had support for it. Which is a shame, Life is strange played perfectly with the steam controller except for the focus portions :/

Nice to have a big, native rally game. I will definitely buy this one (if that wasn't clear already), although I will probably wait for a new ryzen build, though, as I suspect my current one won't match the minimal specs.

Oh, I would also love to see the stalker games on Linux.
Now, since everyone seems to talk about their editors, I used to use Qt Creator a lot. It's pretty decent and lightweight, though I've been using "just" vim more and more lately. I am also thinking about trying out KDevelop one of these days, their new syntax completion tools based on LLVM sounds great!

Yeah, chickens seems to be a pretty major problem in a number of videogames :D

I've had this one on my wishlist since forever, but I am not sure if I have enough time to play it :S: . Thanks for the interview, though, it's great, and will definitely move this title up a bit in my wishlist!

Quoting: Vandenplas

Quoting: LeopardMostly a habit from Windows days.Hardware manufacturer does the drivers,that's it.

I found this comment on the Phoronix server:

Seems they have added the option to pass --compute to the install script and it will install only the kernel and the OpenCL bits. Now it's easier to use the closed OpenCL with Mesa.

Thats nice

Didn't test it yet, but if it works it would meet exactly my requirements ^_^
...at least until the day Mesa fully supports OpenCL.

P.S. I am not using windows since many years. So, definitely no habit in my case. Just striving to find drivers that give me the best performance in games while supporting OpenCL and GPU rendering in non-gaming-applications.

Nice, I didn't know that. It turns out there is also an amd-opencl package on the AUR. I don't know about vulkan, though. Either way, I still have an Evergreen card for now :D

I am really puzzled by all the PRO driver users. As far as I know, it has been stated before (I didn't bother to find a reference from an AMD developer, as I am writing this on my phone) that it is useful only if:

- you need OpenCL (clover is slower, and has no support for OpenCL 2.1)
- you need an OpenGL compatibility profile (professional CAD tools often do)
- you need a driver that has been validated against a certain piece of software (or OpenGL 4.5 certified with conformance tests)
- you need Vulkan support (although it has been said many times that this part would be opened, and radv looks like a viable alternative)
- arguably, if you have abysmal performance with one of your games or applications.

In most other cases, you would be better with the FLOSS driver.
So, what's your special use case? I suspect for instance that @Vandenplas might require OpenCL to use it with blender.

Quoting: jordicomaFORT DU KREMLIN is French? Strong/fort of kremlin?

Yes, the Kremlin-Bicêtre is a Paris suburb. Just in case, I'll state here that Fort stands here for stronghold, if you prefer (fortification).

Mmm, the explanation with the barcode and the Paris mission would make sense for Hitman. I really hope it's Skyrim, though :D

On the other hand, @jith_feral said it was coming "quite soon". I actually don't know what that adds to the conversation ^^" It's puzzling rather than anything else.
Whatever it is, I'll probably enjoy it, though :D

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: KelsSamsai still being an International Man of Mystery this week? Or is this something the two of you cooked up?

He's currently doing *removed* to prepare for *removed* so that I can *removed*

Really? Oo

Other than that, what time do you intend to finish at? I'm not sure if I can make it today, but definitely not too early.

Bracing my wallet, I put some money aside for this :D
Thanks Aspyr!

But looks like my PC will need an upgrade in the meantime. Don't be too eager to release to quickly :)

Civilization 6 Final Release Candidate GOTY Anniversary Redux Special Edition or whatever, I'm coming for you.

Hey, guys, the open source driver are still better in a lot of cases, unless you have special needs, of course.

I need to upgrade my old card (will probably build a whole new rig), I saw the Furry X at 250€, same price as the 480. Should I buy one of these? (which?), or wait for vega? (I do not plan to spend more than ~350 anyway, 250 is OK.

Hey, I wasn't interested!

Oh, well, I guess I have to buy it anyway :D
