The Talos Principle updated with more Vulkan stability and performance
26 July 2016 at 10:53 pm UTC

For me this beta was very unstable. As in, crash within 5 seconds after continuing my game.

Also, for those getting very high framerates, check the rendering resolution. I've seen before that it sometimes switches back the rendering resolution on switching when switching to Vulkan. Not a fair comparison if that happens.

I had that too until I upgraded to 367 drivers.

Stardew Valley is now in beta for Linux

The good thing about Linux is that usually someone manages to figure out why and post a workaround before the devs actually fix it. Say maybe someone will figure it out here too. Although tonight may not work anymore. ;)

Auto-Staccato looks like a great new take on rhythm games

Yeah, the problem with rhythm games is that I can never seem to get past level one.

That was done pretty quickly. Impressive job!

Quoting: pete910We should see a Linux version "around launch".

Cheers for that :D

If you want to keep believing it, stay away from the more recent interviews.

Life is Strange episode 1 will be free from tomorrow, no exact word on Linux release yet

The cryptic Feral message is probably related to Life is Strange Mac coming to Steam since it is listed for Steam in the linked pic.

The programmer of Antraxx, a massively multiplayer mech shooter says Linux is a definite option

Yep. Windows is an option for me too. It will never happen, but the option is there.

Quoting: BeamboomI fear we eventually will have to add Star Citizen to this list too :(

The closest thing I heard them actually say about supporting anything other than Windows was that they'd look at it when Vulkan was out and that they definitely had no intention of doing OpenGL. I suppose their CryEngine fork is too modified to simply add the Linux stuff from CryTek.

Quoting: leillo1975I'm also waiting for Mad Max but I have the feeling (perhaps the hope) that this game will be released soon.

Since this has the markings of a Feral port, it will be Feral soon. :D I imagine this one will be a little harder to do because it requires good performance and probably needs to be in the same optimisation level as Shadow of Mordor.

The thing that was most annoying about this one is that it was supposed to be released for Linux. Then it was not going to happen. And then it turned out there was stuff happening in Steam without mention. Is it so hard to say up front that it will come, but (much) later?
