Feral Interactive continues to contribute to Mesa as one of its developers gets commit privileges

This is certainly a sign that they plan working Vulkan only for Linux ports in future. I like that, because on my hardware the Vulkan ports were better playable, and even with OGL in Mesa moving forward / improving a lot, Vulkan will very likely be our future in gaming.

Certainly a game I could like.
Anyone tried it on AMDGPU?

SteamOS is still alive with a new Beta, although it's a rather uninteresting one

We've seen sinking work on mesa / Hakzsam too, sadly.

Intel announce a new CPU with AMD graphics and HBM2 memory

A dream comes true. I hate that all laptops with decent graphics capabilities came with nvidia. I was looking for a model with intel + amd or amd + amd for quite some time, but nothing suited me.

If they make this true, I'll have to get myself a new laptop. Finally.

Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry is to get a new patch, but not for Linux

I liked the game, for me it was engaging and fun.

Despite that I still can't see the difference between Ravens Cry and Vendetta (both suffer the exact same issues including speech synchronization, animation, storyline bugs etc., no differences at all).

Sad was that I always get stuck on a certain storyline bug, so I never could complete the game. This was never fixed, and by now I doubt it will be fixed. This was not just pointed out by linux gamers, but windows as well. Some say it's a savegame bug, but I started from scratch like 10 times, and always got stuck on the same point. I have doubts that only I run into a storyline bug which is random 10 times in a row, so I very likely manage to "reproduce" the deadlock for some reason (the quest was Looking for the Mercenaries, the body was simply gone after I killed the two or three mercenaries, I don't remember that, so I couldn't loot the body).

The developer also states they have staffing issues, so issues to find OGL developers for the Linux/MacOS port. And that's not uncommon.

Get ready to become a neural detective as 'Observer' is now on Linux, AMD not supported

Looks like a nice game.
I'll wait for a sale and buy it, to try if it's working properly with my AMD card (I'm on mesa 17.2.3 atm).

And no, I didn't buy the wrong graphics card, still have a GTX1050 in the shelve, I just don't use it ;-).

Would be cool. I do own AoE2HD... being able to play it would be cool

What have you been playing and what do you think?

Mount&Blade Warband, since they fixed some bugs in Mesa/LLVM which kept me from continueing my mission to become queen of the land. The time is ripe.
