Waiting for XCOM2 to go on special. Definitely something I want to try under Linux (with these PRO drivers.)

For existing games, Wine is ok I guess. But I don't think it will be too great for stuff like Fallout/Skyrim. If optimized correctly then Wine can run just as fast as Windows (check out Tomb Raider). But Native is definitely better, wish the industry didn't rely so heavily on DirectX, as it is now biting them in the asses!

Maybe if they sell enough of these ports, they will release a native version later on? Either way it will be interesting to see the performance cost of using Wine here..

Think we will need to monitor people playing games on Linux, perhaps hours played or frequency to determine the trend of Linux gamers, because I buy allot of keys from NON steam websites because I miss all the specials and its convenient for me, am sure allot of other people do also.

Point being is you can't look at the stats of people just buying on what platform via the Steam Store because many buy outside of that.

Wish Feral would optimize CoH2, runs terribly.

Has some nice ideas, but I did notice some performance issues in areas. The main issue I felt was the levels look pretty old tech, like old 2008 graphics in areas, with lower fps then you would expect.

I really don't know where all there money has been going for these past few years? its making good progress but not 150k sales progress...

Yeah Mac only supports OpenGL4.1 and Metal, Apple refuses to put any effort into support above that on their platform so I'm not surprised. They won't even support Vulkan. Basically its the beginning of the end for gaming on Apple systems except for when Apple directly pay developers to release stuff that is.

I really don't quite understand some aspects of this, does this mean Chris Roberts and Star Citizen could pay only $1 for the entire use of the engine? lol

AMD are reasonably close to releasing AMDGPU-PRO officially I think(non-beta that is), so it will be interesting to see if devs start mentioning AMD as supported hardware or if there going to continue sucking NVIDIAs ba.. I mean specifying NVIDIA only in requirements?

Has ANYONE managed to get Company of Heroes 2 working with this driver, I asked Feral and they said its not supported by this driver yet... I see someone got Shadow of Mordor working which I'm downloading now (41GB is a kick in the balls with my connection), if that works then I suppose CoH2 just has a problem....
