Liam , can you ask them about ; did they test it with open source AMD drivers?

That is a problem ; right now most powerful cards are on Nvidia side and Nouveau open source drivers are bad so they're using proprietary Nvidia drivers. So this ports are just being blob driver certified ones and running some silly and simple problems on Mesa.

The beginning is extremely boring. Try to overcome the first hour or so, get used to the pace and atmosphere of the game.

Their dedication to the Linux port and solving problems with it makes me want to support them. Sounds like they are doing a great job!

Quoting: dubigrasuChrist people, would you just stop giving away that the ending is bad?
While not entirely a spoiler, every-time I think about starting the game I know is gonna end bad like a weight standing above my head...enough already.

The ending is actually quite good. No idea why some people don't like it. And the game itself is a great experience. I played through the entire game even after watching the ending on YouTube. Just start playing already!

Quoting: harshbarjI was a major fan of Postal 2. Will have to give Postal Redux a look when it comes out. 2 was great and a joyfully twisted game. I hope that Redux is also just as sick! Anymore I try to buy Linux compatible games, even when buying for my windows box, hoping for the day when I can delete that last windows partition. A person can dream.

What do you still play Win only ? Just curios.

Space engineers
Empyrion (devs have promised a linux verson one day)
GTA V
Saints Row the third (Linux multiplayer does not work with windows multiplayer clients)
arma 2 dayz
Banished (A linux port was talked about, but not sure if it will happen)
Raft

Also Minecraft modpacks are a pain to get working on linux.

These are all developer issues, and not linux issues. Sad part was when the developer of raft pulled Linux support.

I can understand that.
My friends play Gta 5. Not my style but I am not holding up hope for a linux port.
I am glad I finished the Witcher 3 and the Skyrim Enderal mod before I switched. Those two would have kept me on Win. (In honesty i do have a laptop I could use)

Kinda sad Banished and Arma 2 never made it to Linux.

Never tried Raft so not sure what to say there.

at least they seem to be adamant about working out the issues and we will most likely see support soon enough. that's good to see. more nvidia driver fixes will be nice to see. I really like the concept of this game. looking forward to the Linux release.

I totally loved this game (except for the ending, which is mindblowlingly bad), and I would absolutely buy the next one, if it's on Linux. Will it? I mean, I know the first once is, but Rise of the Tomb Raider hasn't been ported either, despite it's predecessor was.

This game isn't about action and stuff, it's all about living your feelings and finding out that even the tiniest decisions can have the biggest impacts. You need to engage with the game - or you will find it boring.

Nothing. Taste is subjective. It just wasn't something you enjoyed. That's fine. Others, like myself, enjoyed it a lot. This is fine too.

One of the main features of Fusion is cross-game workshop/modding support. Steam is the only platform featuring workshop currently, so the game appearing in GOG or anywhere else is very unlikely.

Quoting: Takthis might explain the differences in performance at different quality levels.

This is exactly what I was thinking when doing that test. I suppose this means Unity's Vulkan possibly might already be the best way to go in certain circumstances such as VR depending on the strain put on the CPU since you need about 90 fps per eye (180 frames worth of draw calls) but usually with lower quality content/rendering? :)

Well, it's out on Steam now, and almost 15€ (-15% at launch). Not sure what to think about it, yet. I feel it's to much for this solo-only game, when other games like Counter Strike, Ballistik Overkill and others have more advanced visual, and multipjayer.

Quoting: GuestAfter having tried the games I’m disappointed by all of them (except Kentucky Route Zero which I had abandonned a long time ago already).

I have to agree. I've only played Kentucky Route Zero, Ziggurat, Windward and Owlboy yet, and only KRZ looks like it could be my taste. Owlboy has exceptional artwork and good music, but sadly that's about it. Ziggurat gives a weird sense of scale and the game mechanics are rather abstracted from the game world. Windward feels like a flash game in 3D.

Must be nearly there. Hands rubbing.

@PublicNuisance If you are using a R9 270 with Vanilla Linux kernel then Vulkan will not work. Radv requires the amdgpu kernel module which is experimental on GCN 1.0 cards (it uses the radeon module by default). You'll need to build a custom kernel with CIK support enabled or use the prebuilt ones with DC support made by M-BAB on github. Note if you go that route don't forget to blacklist the radeon module by adding the kernel boot parameter:
modprobe.blacklist=radeon.
BTW my past experience with my R7 370 is that Serious Sam Fusion with vulkan performs way better than OpenGL on slower CPUs (e.g. Phenom II).

Quoting: MightyTrollzorseems to run again after another 1.9 gig patch (at least the safehouse does). I also found a mod that enables coop with windows users even with the downgraded linux version (just search in the linux subforum of the payday2 discussions on steam)

Someone on the steam forum says that days 1-4 are working, i really hope they does :D

Edit: And yeah, it works :D

I am very aware that this is like, 7 months old, but hi, I'm the guy who fixes Linux Matchmaking, you're welcome =)

Hooray for this guy!

I played Postal 2 but never Postal 1
Kind of interesting how many old games are getting ported to Linux.
Still this is a remake so technically not that old.

I'm really interested in Kentucky Route Zero and Owlboy but having so many games on the waiting list I will try to be sensible and buy them at full price by the time I can actually play them.
