Quoting: GuestBut where are our ****ing performance optimizations for specific games?

I understand where you're coming from, but I would personally prefer Nvidia focus on keeping up and improving the overall driver quality than find workarounds for individual titles. I think Linux will need a much larger market share before Nvidia will care to allocate resources for doing these types of optimizations.

Quoting: DarkMavrikDo we have any idea when Feral will fix this?

How is this Feral/Aspyr's fault?

Yeah, I think this is an ABI problem with SSL, right?

It's got potential, but it definitely needs a lot of work, especially the controls, which feel super... floaty and unresponsive.

Quoting: GuestWhat?

It should not be up to driver developers to optimize for each game.

To anyone still on the 375* series, On Linux Mint 18 I installed the newly released 375.66 driver using the --no-drm option (Gigabyte GTX 1060) with the mainline 4.11 kernel. Installation went successful and any game I've tried works fine so far and the system is also very stable.

Sigh... be sensible, you casuals. Your silliness tickles my innards. Alas, Linux gaming is now infested by silly people. Here are some guesses based on my immaculate knowledge of the industry:

Final Fantasy 18
Uncharted 5
Halo 8
Super Mario Galaxy 4

It has to be one of these, hurr durr durr.

FINALLY! I've been waiting for Shogun 2 for ages. My Housemate will be heaps excited by this. He was never able to get the Windows version of it to run properly. I don't mind Feral porting over the entire Total War Series. It's nice to have an entire franchise come over. i'd like to see the same done with Company of Heroes, Homeworld, and Dawn of War. I think when it comes to game ports we need to be realistic and start supporting the engine remake projects a lot more. OpenMW needs to get forked and expanded to add Oblivion/Skyrim support. There should be more focus on engineering better modding tools for open source engines, and getting more games supported in those open source engines. E.g if there's little difference between most sprite based isometric RTS games. Maybe we should focus on making a universal engine for Isometric Sprite based RTS games. The same for 3D RTS games etc. I keep thinking of LibRealSpace which is on github. This one engine could bring Strike Commander, Wing Commander Armada, Wing Commander 3, Wing Commander 4, and Privateer 2 to Linux. That's five games where most of the formats/work would overlap. Not to mention the menu/animation code could be spun off to make a Wing Commander Prophecy, and Privateer 1 Linux native port.

Well, that's cool. I know a lot of people were asking for a way to get the pre-order portraits. Now I just need to figure how to download the DLC (since clicking "Download" on Steam fires up Stellaris instead…).

You mean where are the workarounds introduced to make up for a game abusing the API? To hell with that.

Quoting: erlaanI think it's batman! Or sleeping dogs.

What a beautiful dream that is. Sleeping Dogs was really good, I would love to play it again on the penguin.

Wow, this bundle seems really worth the bucks. Party Hard, Final Station and Punch Club Deluxe looks very promising. Will pick it up later.

I'm just waiting for someone to provide an interesting take on Spice Clove. No idea how to match that to Shogun 2.

Geppeto35: Neither. Stellaris itself does not know where it wants to belong. It has small features for almost story-based game. However, they get repetitive once you play game more than once.

You can design your own ships, however, due to balance issues, once you put good enough combination of weapons, it doesn't matter any more. And half of the mounts are useless (rockets, torpedoes, shuttles in form of fighters/bombers).

It also offers a lot of micro, without it play significant role and have any interesting effect, just stuff you must do. Implemented automatition in form of sectors which are managed by AI are more or less braindead and lack any depth in form of interesting interaction.

Finally, battles are like in CK or EU, mega stack against mega stack. Which would not be that problem, if stuff like terrain (and thus manoeuvres) played role, but it doesn't since you are in space and have FTL, so you can jump anywhere anytime. And planetary defences are almost nonexistant and very very weak once you reach late early game. Given that CK and EU has some politics (and CK also inner politics and substantial management) that you can do to offset a bit boring battles, Stellaris lacks a great deal in this way and you will do a lot of "upgrade building, upgrade building" (since there is no button to upgrade all buildings on planet to higher level) instead of any sensible interesting decision.

Stellaris just didn't know what it wants to be and you can see it. Although devs are trying to improve it, it will take several major DLCs to do that (given that if they want to rework system from scratch, they can't lock it behind DLC, so they must divide it or just try to improve current system)

The only fast paced FPS we can possibly get on Linux in coming years is UT4. Even on Windows, the genre has been pretty much abandoned for some time. I feel sad about it but that's the situation nevertheless...

Will wait till the weekend to do an upgrade.
Let's see if I manage to brick myself.

EDIT: Not out on Arch repo yet.

May give Final Destination DLC a go.
Seems to have what I found lacking in the original.

You know , I used to consider itch as a "toy" client for developers that really didn't belong on Steam or GOG.
But after recent years where steam Greenlight became Steam cesspool and GOG don't seem that interested in taking us seriously as a demographic (I still hold we don't need Galaxy tbh) I am reconsidering my position.

Quoting: rea987Wishing amazing titles like Doom (2016) is okay but bringing that one and Skyrim in every Feral news is pointless. So, I suggest you to stop expecting Linux ports of Bethesda titles; instead asking titles of Sega, Square Enix, Codemasters, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, 2K Games would be more realistic.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Spoiler, click me

(psst....Skyrim)

Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim


A disturbing thought: Maybe one day Feral really will port Skyrim, and then where would I be?

I'd been thinking about ClusterTruck for a while, and Streets of Rogue looks interesting. Picked up and downloading now. :)

Looking briefly on steam (if I counted correctly) I see that Feral ported Life is Strange, three racing titles, six action titles and eleven strategy ones.
They do like strategy titles it seems.
Not crazy about them myself though, I bought five of those strategy games from Feral (although I'll never play them) only to support them, but not happy with the above numbers.

Just dived into Itch, downloaded the client. Very promising! So where is Galaxy (GOG) for Linux already dammit!
