Quoting: silverhikarihas anyone who has played the game gotten sound to work? as after switching java to 8(openjdk) to get the game to load i can't seem to get any sound. i am using pipewire in case that causes problems?

Should be a log file in the game dir or in ~/.FarSky/log/farsky.log

It might help you figure out what's wrong,

I had some problems running it with the native libs supplied, but running the .jar manually with
java -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -cp ./farsky.jar -classpath ./lib/*:./farsky.jar game.Main works fine.

Quoting: PikoloWTF is a case-insensitive float? Case sensitiveness would normally be a feature for text data types, not numbers

AIUI, essentially it allows for declaring a variable using "float" or "FLOAT"?

Quoting: slaapliedjeActual current Atari is somewhat decent, as a whole lot of the bad apples from when they first announced the VCS are gone, and they're attempting to shift solely to video games + whatever hardware

That's good to hear.

Reading through the Wikipedia article about the history of Atari is quite depressing. The things people have abused that poor trademark for... The Atari cryptocurrency! The Atari Hotel chain! *shudders*

Quoting: TheRiddickDon't be surprised if Blizzard starts banning Linux/SD users...
They really don't like any work arounds what so ever with their games.
They'll of cause probably wait until final release to start pissing people off with bans.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLAnyone know how to fix 1-5 FPS with Vulkan API? OpenGL show normal FPS but causing graphics issues (invisible characters) while forcing Vulkan fixes it but gives 1-5 FPS.
RX 580 8GB, latest mesa 23.0.0

Stuck compiling shaders?

Or possibly picking up llvmpipe/lavapipe instead of your GPU?

Quoting: 14Is it even possible to make graphics cards support newer stuff better? Like flashing the firmware? Is that something we could rally for? It's kind of the same situation with cell phones. You can get an iPhone that physically works a lot longer than bug fix support lasts. E-waste FTW.

Hardware documentation and FLOSS drivers is the key. We have better support for old stuff in Mesa compared with out Windows counterparts. (AMD already discontinued support for GCN3 and below on Windows).

FLOSS firmware would certainly be nice, but I doubt it would help at all with Vulkan. At least for TeraScale/pre-GCN AMD GPUs. The hardware is simply too old.

Quoting: elmapulaccording to vg charts:
ps1 has 2706 games.
ps2 has 3565 games
ps3 has 1904 games.
if you pick the ps3 model wich had backward compatibility, then the full catalog of PS3 at the end of the generation was 8175 titles.

Keep in mind that many games are counted twice, or sometimes three times as it was re-released for different markets (US, PAL, Japan) so the actual numbers are quite a bit smaller!
