Commenting a little more on this Teaser Clue. I don't have any answers but I'll share some ideas.

The clue contains: "West Norwood - Bus 68"

I was thinking it might be related to Cockney Rhyming Slang, e.g. "Wood" in "Norwood" rhymes with Should, Could, Would, Good, Stood, Mud, Thud, Blood, Neighbourhood, Likelihood, Brotherhood, Knock on Wood, Hollywood, Understood, Ravenswood, Common Good, etc.

Then I looked at it this way: "West Nor Wood"
Noting that "NOR" is a logical operator, e.g. (0 NOR 0) = 1 ; (0 NOR 1) = 0 ; (1 NOR 1) = 0

So, I had a play with 6 NOR 8 (e.g. 68 bus)
Doing a bitwise NOR operation in Python on binary(6) versus binary(8) gets me an answer of integer(241)
241 is the number of possibly another bus in London.

I was also interested in the 68 bus route, here

While there, I checked out the 241 route, here

For a while I did get into my head that it might be London, sixties-based game " We Happy Few " but I couldn't match up that game in any way with Feral or West Norwood or Bus 68. Noting that "We Happy Few" is based in London, 1964.

This then makes me think about year "1968", hmmm, did anything interesting happen in "West Norwood" in 1968? (Maybe the birth of a game developer?)

I found that this athlete, George Hackenschmidt, termed "The Russian Lion" was buried in West Norwood cemetery in 1968: The Russian Lion in Norwood
(He was a great weight-lifter and wrestler.)

So, as you can see, I came up with lots of interesting little tidbits, but nothing substantial. Anyone able to make something coherent out of this?

EDIT: I've just had another look at the Feral Radar and spotted there is no "68" on the image, and it is just an earlier comment in this thread that one of the London buses going through West Norwood is number 68. The bus numbers are: 2, 68, 196, 315, 322, 432, 468, X68, N2, N68. This information rather spoils my earlier workings. Oh well :( Link here

Doh, 10GB download. I guess there must be some maps built in the client. Community built maps download needs an Epic user account login.

Quoting: eldersnakeVulkan performance for me with a 380X (Mesa 17-git, AMDGPU) is a bit of an odd one. FPS is higher and more consistent than OpenGL (60-55 most of the time with Vsync, as opposed to anywhere from 45 to 50) but it *feels* like there's more frame lag when fighting enemies and when dust is on screen etc.

My impression of Vulkan gaming is that it is better at using multiple CPU cores than OpenGL, so for instance an AMD FX 8 core processor will benefit from Vulkan because of better core utilisation. However, Vulkan games can falter due to the CPU not being quick enough (e.g. 2 cores running at 100% utilisation).

Might be worth running "psensor" application in the background, and seeing if your cores are overheating / maxing out, when you play. A bigger CPU fan can help if your CPU is overheating and then throttling down its performance.

Just been checking out the Humble Store, and I'm seeing more discounted games on there that appeal to me than the Steam store. Wonder if it is anything to do with the way Humble format their content. I'm certainly keen on Humble's Top Discounts sorting.

Well, I'm still not buying either until they:

- Drop to 75% discount or more.
- Release for Linux (yes, I know this is very low chance) and then I'd buy at full price.

Good that WINE offers so much potential for Windows-only games working on Linux. Keep up the hard work, WINE devs ;)

Quoting: Zephar[center]the Final Beta for Stasis has been released and it seems to work really well. [/center]

Like it, but looking to GOG release (hopefully).

Quoting: GuestThe folks at Back2Gaming made a guess based on historical data
https://www.back2gaming.com/news/feral-interactive-teasing-new-linux-game/

I think they've got some good guesses there:

Rise of the Tomb Raider
NieR Automata
Bayonetta
Middle Earth: Shadow of War

Personally, I'm happy with all of those, myself.

From all the comments so far, and my own thoughts on it, my feeling is that it is most likely to be:

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Of course, it could still be any number of other possibilities.

I've generally had very positive experiences with Linux and gamepads (well Xbox 360 gamepad and Xbox 360 gamepad clones). Launching Rocket League for the first time, and all the buttons and sticks were mapped correctly, without needing to configure anything.

I'd be tempted to blame the games (or the specific distro) if gamepads are working badly.

Reminds me, I need to fire up my full copy of Hitman and see if my system is reasonable for 4K play. (I sold my GTX 1070 and bought a GTX 1080 TI.) On the 'old' card, I could happily play some stuff in 4K, but Hitman was one which gave me problems and I dropped down to FHD to play it.

Any idea how much Croteam gain from sales of the game? Seeing as Crackshell are the primary developers on it.
