Why are we still speculating after a comment on the very first page pointed us to this?

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: Xpander5.6? so Vulkan? Anybody that owns this game can confirm this?

Using Unity 5.6 doesn't mean they're using Vulkan and i think it is not Vulkanized

since 5.6 vulkan its there, even if they dont use it by default i think it can be used via command line switch.
thatswhy i asked.

Quoting: EikeLet me abuse this occasion to ask something...

I started to play some Hitman last weekend, and I still wonder how I would enjoy it. I played the first training mission doing most of the tasks. But hey, it's not hard to place explosives at a place you know your target will be going to - because he went there every single time you already tried the mission! It feels so unrealistic, so unsatisfying.

Then I tried the last exam, and there are these "occasions" (or whatever they are called in the English). When enabling occasion display fully, I feel I'm just icon hunting. Having enabled them minimally, I didn't find the airplane hold to manipulate. Disabling them fully I guess I wouldn't find out the complex ways to kill a target.

So, what are you doing? How are you playing and enjoying Hitman? (The normal game, not the elusive targets.)

I am too trying to play it but for a different point of view:

Quoting: adamhmNo difference with Wine Staging 2.7 here

Hm, definitely working here. Only that I didn't used the script this time, just a fresh prefix with xact/xaudio/directx9 installed,

Quoting: 14Get used to switching weapons using mouse buttons and the keyboard becomes too slow.

This! I play TF2 a lot with primary, secondary, and melee weapons mapped to my two side buttons and mouse wheel click, and it's so useful for weapon-switching.

Quoting: constThe bundles this year had so much value for linux gamers, they are really worth a second look after release.
May: dirt rally, undertale, metrico+ and gonner. Inside may come later
April: Black Mesa, Layers of Fear, Tumblestone, Slime-san. Event[0] and The witness may come later
March: TotalWar Warhammer, RIVE, Poly Bridge, Uurnog, Flat Heroes
February: XCom2, SteamWorld HEIST, Oh, Dear...

We already got Inside. It was unlocked the same time as Dirt Rally. Check your keys on the site.

I've been subscribed since XCOM 2. I didn't want that one a whole lot to be honest, but the bundle for $12 was still worth it to me. Since then, every month that they tell you what the front-runner game of the next month is going to be, I can't unsubscribe! I think it rocks. I wanted the Warhammer game really bad, I wanted Dirt really bad, and next month is Stellaris?! It's amazing.

It also helps that I dropped my EVE subscription at the same time I signed up for Humble Monthly. :)

For the purists out there, you can gift Windows-only games (with no hope of coming to Linux) to your friends on the dark side. That's what I do. I did, however, keep The Witness because I really want it to come to Linux. :S:

Quoting: PompesdeskyHi 14,
I'm using a G600 since a couple of years and I'm really happy with the buttons that I use in FPS games to quickly switch between weapons or do some actions. However it's a little too narrow for me and I'm not holding it straight (it rests a bit sideways in my hand). I just discovered the Nyth reading your post and I'm really interested in it. How's the software support for it under Linux ? Does Roccat provide something to configure it or is there a non-official Linux tool that does the trick ?

Cybolic beat me to the software information, and he's right on! The only info he gave that I'd critique is the software is in the AUR, so installation is a couple more steps than normal. Looks like you're on Mint, so you'd want to check their packages or Ubuntu's. I'd be surprised if they didn't have one.

When I put the slim side piece on the Nyth, it is quite narrow, at least for me. In that configuration, it feels mildly better for shooters for me, but since it's a different feel than every other time I use the mouse, I'm not as accurate. If you put the skinny piece on, overall width is a little bit narrower than an iPhone 6.

After trying a few configurations for a while, I don't switch anymore. Being able to get it just how I want was worth it to me. I would buy it again.

Oh, one of the selling points for me was the on-board processor. Yes, it not only has on-board memory like other gaming mice, it actually has its own processor so you truly keep your config on multiple computers and OS. When you program your buttons onto the mouse, it will keep those settings even if you plug it into a computer that doesn't have Roccat software installed.

Its at 0.5.4 atm and runs fine on my FuryX at 4k, however there are issues such as a sound bug, engine torque too low, flora collision issues, tree lod popping, draw distances are quite low with annoying fog of war being quite close. No distant landscape vistas yet.

The game is getting a Multiplayer Patch at some point. (some earlier builds already had it in I think)

So that's why I had to go through hell to gift a game to my cousin last night.
I created an steam account for him, Then tried to gift him the game but he was not my friend on steam. And I could not add him as a friend cause you cannot have friends on steam unless you spend $5 or more on games. I was not able to send him steam funds either!
So I had add $5 to his steam account using my credit card, then add him as my friend, then gift him the game. It should be easier than this.

Quoting: iplaygameswearingatuxBought the April monthly for Dirt Rally, which was a disappointment due to its difficulty. Otherwise, the bundle seems OK. 4 out of the 6 surprise games are on Linux and have good reviews. But those are games I would never buy. Will try them out to see if I like them. :)

Same, bought April for Dirt, ended up too damn hard.
Been subscribed since january of this year, so far pretty good titles. Started to play that This Is The Police from this month's bundle and I LOVE it, will keep playing (like i have time for that :D)

About 9 months ago I knew money was going to be tight for several months so I bit the bullet and bought a year subscription at once. I've been very satisfied with my purchase so far. Not every month is great. I've gotten a lot of games that I wouldn't have bought on my own, some of which I ended up liking quite a bit. Some months are better than others but overall I think it's a good value. For $11 a month I feel like I've gotten a great deal with all the games I've gotten. I still have 3 more to go and am excited to play Stellaris

Quoting: 14Use the right tool for the job. I have the Nyth and it's just about perfect.[...]

]...] I just discovered the Nyth reading your post and I'm really interested in it. How's the software support for it under Linux ? Does Roccat provide something to configure it or is there a non-official Linux tool that does the trick ?

The software support is amazing! It works out of the box, but there's also semi-official software for it (official in that Roccat provided the developer, Stefan Achatz, with access to their hardware and some guidance as well as a license to use their files, but it's not developed by them).
The software lets you bind all buttons (including in ways apparently not possible in Windows), change both lights and their effects, change sensitivity of both axis separately, switch polling rate and CPI and bind up to five profiles with auto-switching based on process name, executable file or window title (with regex support); oh, and it also supports that ridiculous audio announcer functionality for extra 1337ness when switching settings :P
If you're on Arch, it's just a pacman -S roccat-tools-nyth away :)

I also practically wrote a mini-review of it on page 3 of these comments, if you want to know more about its functionality.

"This target will be in Sapienza for 11 days and is one of the final three Elusive Targets to be released for the first season of HITMAN."

Well that's not a very good news for Linux gamers. I've played Hitman since the Linux release and only had a chance to do three elusive targets (four with the current one), missing the previous 20. :-(

I was very skeptical of humble monthly at first, but I started subscribing in February and have been very pleased.

I also get good use of the 10% humble store discount while subscribed.

Haven't played this yet, but BundeStars are offering some freebie addons for this game at the moment.

Quoting: michaUnfortunately, the game doesn't work anymore on my machine. It did a few month ago though.

I filled a bug report so let's hope the issue gets resolved quickly:

Gah, you're right. It worked for me only recently, must have been one of the most recent patches.

Wow, looks really cool - is this singleplayer only, or multiplayer/coop too?

Quoting: TcheyI don't like to have a "surprise game", and maybe worst, one not for Linux. I prefer to hand-pick my games, so i can (more or less) manage my time and money. From 2017, only Total War: Warhammer would get my intention, but i already bought it before, so...

True enough but it's not my main way of bying games. The vast majority was bought through Steam store. Humble monthly is "running on the side". I would have major second toughts if I bought my games exclusively on Monthly bundle.

It's working awesome!

Since the beginning of 2017, I got Xcom2, Steamworld Heist, Total War: Warhammer, Rive & Dirt Rally via Humble Monthly and I didn't mention the Windows only games that I didn't reclaim.

Also, I easily skipped the month of April bundle because the main game wasn't on Linux (The Witness); if you don't want to completely cancel your subscription you have the option to do so for the next bundle and it resumes afterward.

What more to say?! Satisfied customer.

Quoting: ageresIf a game I already own gets ported to Linux, I buy a copy and store it in my inventory. I cannot gift it immediately because I don't have any friends using Linux, so that would be counted as a Windows sale AFAIK. So, what should I do now?

Write the developers to put a donate button on their website. Or at least tell you where you can send them some extra "thank you" money. The usual reply "just buy another copy" won't work anymore. I honestly believe each developer should have such a button, because of sales and bundles. If they don't, they are losing money. I often want to pay some extra (but not necessarily a full price) as well.
