If OpenGL Next would closely resemble Mantle, AMD would have a headstart in implementing it.
On the other hand, if it's quite close, it might make Mantle obsolete.

I've been craving for hiding games (outdated betas sitting ugly in the game library anyone?) and setting multiple categories for games. Now we'd only need to be enabled to actually look for games that are in two categories for searching. Didn't find that. And obviously, when you can set several categories, the category setting ui shouldn't close autommatically anymore when having set the first (which did make sense before).

With i3570, GTX660, 8 GB and 1680*1050, I got 20(!) to 30 fps on high settings in the first open air scene. Not what I'd actually call playable.

It's good that they're working on it, it's nice to have frequent updates. But they're far from finished. And while we can be happy with games working and being playable at the moment, we will call for the same performance (more is always welcome) as on Windows some day.

Quoting: SirBubblesWhere do you set such preference for OpenGL exactly?

Options -> Other options
Doesn't make it smooth for me.

You're asking us if you should read a comic book or a detective story?!? ;o)
I found Book of Unwritten Tales easier than others because the hot spots are vanishing after some clicks if not needed anymore. So after some time, it boils down to the one or two spots you still need and the solution becomes more and more obvious. Depending on what you like, this might be an advantage or an disadvantage...

PS: How about Broken Sword 5? Or Deponia? :)

I didn't even see FM 2014 for Linux - is this due to me living in Germany, or wasn't it available on Steam?

I'd already start singin', with the Tune of Bob Marley...
No native - no buy.

No, to be honest: Witcher 2 has improved a bit with the new beta, but not enough to play it on reasonable settings. For really demanding games, wrappers will give less performance, and you haven't got performance to waste there.

Due to new releases and the summer sale, I've got new
* Limbo
* Papers, Please
* Civilization V
* XCom EU & EW
* Deponia

... and while I'm pretty sure that all of these are great games, I didn't play anything but XCom, although I already had played EU for over 60 hours on Windows. It's _very_ addictive.

... and now going back to kick some alien's butts.
Or let mine be kicked, whichever comes first. ;o)
