Great to see, even if RTS isn't exactly in my wheelhouse.

Take your breaks Liam, no one here should expect you to work 7 days.

Always glad to see updates to Mesa. Every little bit helps.

I already beat it on Windows and own it on Steam but if they bring the Linux version to GOG I'd be happy to buy a Linux copy there. Would want to have a DRM free copy anyway.

Best case both parties continue to want to support Linux. We won't know for a while.

Quoting: EhvisFirst thing I thought when I read that news was that this might mean the end for Linux support for season 2.

Worse yet, this might mean the end of season 2 altogether.

Made my wishes known on their forum. Hopefully enough people want it.

It's sad, I really love the latest HITMAN game. Hopefully a not completely awful publisher buys IO Interactive. I'll take just about anyone not named Activision, EA, Ubisoft, or Bethesda, though ideally I think the best fit for them would be THQ Nordic.

This does raise the question as to who owns the HITMAN IP? It's usually the publisher, though IO Interactive have developed every single game in the series, to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully when Squeenix sell IO Interactive they sell the IP along with them.

Quoting: KimyrielleAnyone tried Elder Scrolls Online with the newer releases?

Good question. I think I'll test TESO tonight myself to see if/how it runs.

Quoting: DisharmonicThis should be fun if utterly unrealistic. Seems like it will be Tropico on Mars

Quoting: Kimyrielle

Quoting: GuestHaemimont Games are the developers of the Tropico series and Victor Vran.
I’m afraid I won’t enjoy it much if it is similar to Paradox games or Tropico 5.

I skipped on Victor Vran because I am not too eager to play games that force me to play a male character, at least not unless premade female characters become just as normal.

Oh common, this isn't the 90s, female characters are quite common in games these days. Maybe it's not a 50/50 split but there are certainly a lot of games out there.

Funnily enough, female lead characters appear more often in Indie productions, but in all quite honesty, I am not sure where you saw the progress in mainstream games. I didn't. I still need less than the fingers on my hands to name pretty much all AAA games I can't think of lead by truly iconic girl characters: Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Mirror's Edge, Blood Rayne, Remember Me and Life is Strange. There are a few JPRGs with female leads, too. That's about it. This is nowhere near 50%. It's not even 25%. I don't really think we're in double-digit percentage figures of representation yet. Whenever mainstream industry makes a game with a premade character, it's still almost universally a guy. Compared to the mid 80s, there was some progress in terms of the number of games with premade characters overall decreasing and more games offering choices. Shepard can be a girl now, if you want. That's the one positive development I saw. But as far as premades go, there was barely any change. The industry at large is still one of the most sexist on the planet. It was only a few years ago when the developer of Remember Me got shown the door by pretty much all larger publishers, because nobody wanted to publish a game with a female lead. 'nuff said.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: PixelPiIt's still possible to buy gifts and store them in inventory, if you are using the bic pictures mode.

But then the gift is in your inventory and you can't do anything with it. :)

You cannot gift them away?!? Sounds like a bug...?

Yes, I cannot gift it away. It was Euro Truck Simulator 2. There is a discount on it this weekend.

I think is a bug/inconsistence. They have forgotten to update the bic picture interface. I am probably the only one who uses it. ;)

So it's still possible to store new gifts in the inventory.

I have already contacted the steam support. Let's see what they say.

Quoting: darkszluf

Quoting: HedajaI definitely would wanna buy it...I just don't have enough RAM -.-

this game has an ultra low preset that would run on a potato with 2GB of ram so i would give it a try.

seriously with my computer i can run it at ultra low 120fps at 1080p or low 45fps 720p

Just did that yesterday after I've been able to install the free weekend version via Steam Bug Picture.
It works quite okay when you are in an race itself (ultra low to low) but the menu is really painful. It feels like the "video" in the background is rendered in full quality making the natural very slow and sluggish

Quoting: ZeroedoutWill we be getting a Linux port report for this game? I'm considering buying it but not if Unity isn't optimized well enough.

Well I'm only one dude, but on open source AMD drivers on my 380X, 16GB RAM and a stock Kaby Lake G4560 Dual Core (4 cores HyperThreading) the game runs fine on max details @ 1080p. I was expecting to have performance issues due to what some people have said even on the console version, but I was pleasantly surprised. If Liam doesn't mind me sharing a link to my own site, I touched on it in my review of the game: http://www.thelinuxrain.com/articles/yooka-laylee-review

No benchmarks, but when I call a game smooth, it's not usually chugging in 20-30 FPS or anything.

No support (for Linux, while Windows version is supported) = unprofessional developers.

@jaycee has the right implementation, the ability to be able to have and use multiple .so files (a smarter shared object linking mechanism)- there could be an even simpler solution where the game ships with its required .so files bundled with the game as part of the installation - completely removing dependency issues. Its kind of a no-brainer really
