Quoting: GuestIf you buy the windows version now (because is it only 2 Euros), is the Linux version free in the future?
I hope so, but I don´t know.

QuoteAre you going to pick up any? Always nice to support the porter directly and they have ported quite a lot now for Linux gamers.

I was just about to buy a title. And I would like to support Feral as well ... but I have so many games that I have not yet played to the end that another new game would only be another corpse in my game collection. Unfortunately, I do not have as much time to play as I would like to have. But my family (we have triplets), my job (SAP programmer) and our house (has so some construction sites) leave for my hobby unfortunately not very much time left.

I have however in the last weeks and months Feral more or less supported. I am 100% on Linux since the beginning of the year and I bought Deus Ex: MD, Mad Max and Total War: Warhammer since this time.

I'll take 2 and let it run in SLI ... *rofl* ... no way!

QuoteMy 980ti is sounding a little old right now, but I still personally want to move to an AMD GPU to take advantage of the open source Mesa drivers. Still, I can't help feeling excited by how GPUs have progressed in recent years to be able to get a behemoth like this.
Wait for the Vega Cards. Nearly the same power for 1/2 the price of the NVidia-GPU (that's my expectation).

I wait for the Vega Cards, too - because I hope for a nice price cutting of the AMD rx480. :D

Mad Max meets Vulkan in a new fully public beta for Linux, benchmarks and OpenGL vs Vulkan comparisons

For me, the Vulkan-support is a blessing. MM was previously unplayable for me (AMD FX-6100, AMD R9 280, 8GB RAM). I had part only 12 FPS. That's why I had already deleted MM from the hard drive.

But now with Vulkan I never got under 45 FPS. And in scenes where little on the screen happens I even got over 80 FPS. With Vulkan MM has been playable by me for the first time.

However, I have also found bugs related to Vulkan. So I get a crash to desktop, when I am mounting first parts to my car in the auto menu and then, after done this, press ESCAPE to leave the menu. I could reproduce the error several times. I have already reported the error including crash dump to Feral. A workaround for me was now, for this one scene to switch to OpenGL, save the game and then switch back to volcano(aarghhh) Vulkan.

Nice! Does it support cross-platform-multiplayer?

Star Citizen to use Vulkan instead of DirectX 12 and drop DirectX 11 eventually

*PARTY-TIME* :)

I backed Star Citizen at my Windows times and thought my investment was already lost when I decided to change to Linux at the beginning of the year.

But if this becomes true, then I have been wrongly mistaken! :)

QuoteIt would seem Microsoft is ever looking for more creative ways of pushing its Windows 10 operating system towards the masses. Some Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users have apparently encountered one of these: a lock on system updates. The error message, which reads "Your PC uses a processor that isn't supported on this version of Windows", points towards a hardware lock-in in exchange for added security and updates.

Dear Windows gamers, you are welcome! :D
