Valheim gets a small patch with a large creature visual overhaul

Works fine on AMD here (>77 hours and counting), although I use the OpenGL version since the vulkan one is stuttery (or was, I haven't tested it in a while, also haven't tested amdvlk, just mesa/radv).

I use
 
mesa_glthread=true %command%

as the launch options, which was recommended by a GoL user.

Got to the Caspian Sea area in Metro Exodus. Go to the lighthouse and it bugged. Had to restart the chapter, losing 90% of my guns, mods and resources. :/

After restarting the chapter it CTD. So now I'm taking a break.

Back to Skyrim.

Proton Experimental begins work to allow Resident Evil Village to run on Linux

Aside from remakes, Resident Evil hasn't produced a decent game in over 10 years. Not heard much about Village, but I don't have high hopes. Regardless, if it doesn't have native Linux support, I'm not interested.

Quoting: BumadarI was hoping it might be in modern Japan I loved the train names they give them.... and yes I been on the Thunderbird

I don't think I've ever been on the Thunderbird, but there's nothing like being on a Shinkansen when it really accelerates. Or being on a platform when one goes past at full speed for that matter!

Seems like game store GOG is doing well overall in their new figures with revenue up 114%

Quoting: PublicNuisanceTo all those who refuse to buy Linux games from GOG due to them not releasing Linux versions of their client or newer games: do you buy Windows games on Steam ? Just a curiousity........

Personally, no. I only buy games with native Linux support. If a dev doesn't support Linux, then I don't support them. Why would devs consider porting games to Linux if Linux users will buy their game either way?

It's kinda redundant to ask for CPU model AND core count. The latter can be extrapolated from the former. Core counts are a pretty useless metric anyway, especially when it comes to a gaming context.

Valheim gets a needed patch, new terrain-modification system and no more draugr in stones

Nice! I think I must've been lucky and only ever encountered one "entombed" draugr archer. I didn't realise it was as common as it apparently is.

I need to get back into this.

Metro Exodus from 4A and Deep Silver has officially released for Linux

Quoting: ripper81358AMD GPU owners should avoid this game for now. It seems to have massive problems with the MESA drivers.

The only way to get it working without trouble is to use AMDVLK right now. The performance is not good with this driver though.

I didn't notice a big difference between AMDVLK and Radv, maybe a few less frames here and there (I'm using vsync though).

Same here. I've played for an hour using AMDVLK (credit to Masacre ) without any noticeable FPS drop, and no memory leak (system never went above 12GB usage).
