So no plans to use DXMD as public beta test platform for the Vulkan tech? Much like Croteam is doing with The Talos Principle?

Mac editors have Vulkan support? Doesn't sound right...

They can export Vulkan, not use it.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Linux system requirements revealed, Nvidia only for now

Quoting: baccilusCan I enjoy Dues Ex in spite of microtransactions? They are getting lots of negative feedback on steam because of microtransactions and DLCs.

Microtransactions should be ignored (just paid cheating). Supposedly the story isn't quite finished and will be finished by DLC, which would make it a money grab. Obviously I can't confirm whether that's true or whether that's bitterness by children who didn't get what the wanted. Also some say it is very short, while others say it is only short if you race through the missions as fast as you can.

My personal take: I'll be happy to give full price to Feral for the main game, but I'm not doing that for all DLC.

Compared to the recommended spec I have a slightly faster CPU, but a little slower GPU. I wonder what will affect the performance more. Regardless, unless there are "reasons", the Feral store can expect a visit this weekend.

Fishing Planet and it's great.

Euro Fishing was also supposed to be released, but that's been delayed for a year now (citing performance problems).

The funny thing is that the bigger streamers are actually turning off GPU encoding because software encoders give better quality. Of course, those streamers can afford multi-cpu Xeon systems to make that happen. So this is a good way to do it until you become a professional streamer. :D

Feral Interactive's Linux ports may come with Vulkan sooner than we thought (UPDATED)

And it makes sense to use an existing release for large scale betatesting.

The major feature of DX12 is also multithreading even though DX11 supports it. Supporting it doesn't mean it is supported well.

A maiden reply. That could be relevant in more news items. :D
