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.

Roguelike isn't my thing , but might give this a try eventually.

I love the concept. Unfortunately, the art style is less appealing to me, with no animations, etc.

My sweet spot for this kind of game is vectorial animated draying like the first binding of isaac, though I have no problem with it being an isometric game.

Well, I think I might check it out anyway, if I have enough time to try it out. Thanks, Ethan!

Many thanks!
That's impressive indeed!
Ryzen just climbed some levels on my to-buy list. :)

Crikey, I remember the controversy behind this.

Say... anyone remember Meatpuppet? Similar style to Postal, but bloody awful gameplay.

Quoting: ShmerlThe way it could have been "ported", could clearly only have been a wrapper. In this sense, I'd prefer Wine to support it properly.

Well given how the witcher 2 was ported using EON I agree that a wrapper would have been the expected port style. But not the only choice CDPR could have gone the whole hog and natively ported.

But yes I see your point if it was just going to be a wrapper, then better to have all the required functions / features in WINE so that they can benefit other games and applications.

Does it have a demo?

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: nikkenIts a shame when the developers dont quality control better, especially with games that looks this good and fun to play. I hope they fix it quickly!

Apparently already fixed! But I'll wait for some confirmation before I purchase again.

they removed the linux symbol from the store page and since release there was no patch for me.
but with the workaround it runs good (achivements dont work)

I would put myself forward to help test but current events in my offline life (in the last 24 hrs) mean I just don't have the time to do it justice. I'll just buy it when you release. :D

Quoting: natewardawgI think the initial focus is to get it to work and they'll worry about performance in subsequent releases.

The focus for the Vulkan renderer has certainly been "correctness first" so far. From that baseline, and as the engine is progressively reworked from being focused on previous-generation graphics APIs (OpenGL[ES], DX9/11) to also take more advantage of the benefits of modern ones (Vulkan, Metal, DX12+), we'll start to see more and more optimizations.

However, the easiest* wins for Vulkan and similar low-level APIs are actually in cpu-bound content - reducing rendering overhead, reducing/removing blocking for rendering-related operations, etc. - this might explain the differences in performance at different quality levels.

Quoting: StackMasher

Quoting: UrgickHow it goes with GTA V? Does someone tried it?

It's been working since like wine-staging 2.2, but not a lot has improved since that release. Performance sucks, there's quite a few graphical bugs, and you need a controller to play because the keyboard freezes the game. Newer versions don't work due to DRM, you have to either crack the game or run offline to skip updates. I have version 2 if I remember correctly

I made a video on it here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5jyk9a

My ISP blocks it

Try this for the video: https://nl.hideproxy.me/go.php?u=mpFAT1TK%2FTxacxXERd20rbcuwfE7oDn6bQ%2BnSvcOki6uvFXO&b=5&f=norefer
If you're talking about the crack I can't help you with that, just keep searching around (hint: direct download sites e.g. zippyshare can host .torrent files too)

It looks AMD is ready to update its famous waffle irons line /\. :D

I like it! (but will wait for Ryzen2).

Which StarCraft? The classic one? This is working long before: Had it running even with WINE 1.6. Or is it the new StarCraft with builtin Blizzard-DRM (called Battle.net-Launcher)?

Quoting: UnixOutlawI've been hanging out for this for like forever... Original Cossacks, and Napoleonic Wars were the only reason I had Wine a few desktops ago (Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04 and elementary freya and Ubuntu 15.10)... Best RTS ever! Wine recently broke a 16.04 install (dependency hell) so I gave up... To play this Natively would be a dream come true!

You got me curious, which of the 2 Ubuntu 16.04 broke?

The Goat Simulator is not working under Linux for the moment. The main binary file is missing! :(
Created a ticket yesterday and wrote the support: The download for Windows is about 2,5 GB, Linux only 542 MB and Mac even 345 MB. All three ZIP-packages.

EDIT: Well, just had a look on this and now it seems to be corrected. :) Download now for Linux: 2,4 GB. Seems more fitting!

Quoting: InnerVoicesDev2 slots left <3

You should probably differentiate the public somewhat. Pick someone with relatively weak configuration and more AMD-inclined (currently there are too many InTel and nVidia users).
Find someone with FX or RyZen CPU or RX??? GPU.

P.S. I was not suggesting myself! :) That should be someone else.

Quoting: EhvisI'd be happy to help testing. I'm on Ubuntu 17.04 and my PC specs viewable, so you can check whether it adds to the diversity for testers.

And we have 3 :D 2 slots left <3
[for now at least]

I'd love to jump on board to help find Linux specific bugs and crashes! :P

I did some testing for comparison.

Ultra preset with 2x AA at 1920*1080 using OpenGL: AVG of 71 FPS on Hatsheput

I let it play through the entire level rather than 60 seconds.

My system:

FX-9590, 16GB DDR3-2133, R9 270 2GB, Mesa 17.1, Linux Mint 18.1 64, Kernel 4.11.1

I tried Vulkan but couldn't get the game to let me set it without crashing. It was only using 1 core of my CPU at 90-92% with the rest at 20% or less. GPU usage was usually close to or at 100%. Used about 1.2GB of VRAM and 5GB of system RAM.

Quoting: oldrocker99I saw that Liam was playing Cossacks 3 and bought it on the spot. Windows only, it appears at least for now.:'(.

Oh dear. Keep in mind I often have access before it's public, never go by what im playing on Steam.

Heh, heh. I did get a refund for the Windows version, and will wait for the long-awaited final Linux release. I hope I don't die before then:D.

Quoting: m0nt3On mediumish settings I have not seen below 49. However I am not very far in, just got to the apartment.

Thanks!
I have a reasonable frame rate, but severe dips from time to time...
Did you take a look at CPU (and GPU) usage?

I have the youtube video posted of brief gameplay, excuse my terribleness.

Quoting: STiATIf you have an issue with the mouse (not moving / moving horrendibly slow):
https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/wine-patches/tree/master/custom/rawinput2
that one helps ;-). I think POL actually provides a wine version with rawinput2 patch in the repos which you could try.
It's an issue with mouse acceleration being wrong implemented in EE1. I've done this with xinput commands setting mouse acceleration profiles too at some time, but the rawinput2 patch seems to work properly.
Didn't try in the past year though.

That is apparent even playing it under Windows. No matter what mouse DPI, EE just never felt right. Damn fun game, though.

Interesting, I just re-ran it (edit: Viking Village) using "Fastest" and it's getting 80 fps with Vulkan, but 70 fps with OpenGL. Looking at my system monitor under Vulkan it's cleanly using about 25% CPU on all cores and GL is using a sloppy 20% on the cores, which makes sense and explains the higher framerate.

So, it'll be nice when they can get Vulkan outperforming their OpenGL implementation when the game's played at higher settings.

When I switched to Linux Total War games were the only games I really missed. Now they are all coming back to me. Thank you so much Feral! I hope you bring them all to Linux. Keep up the great work!
