Feral games stopped working for me on Ubuntu 17.10 a few days ago. Remembered this article and suspected the issue might be related, however, the workaround provided does not work for me. Anyone else with Ubuntu 17.10 who have run into issues lately?

Quoting: TheRiddickThe only HUGE issue I found was the texture size problem, which is partly opengl 32 bit issue, and in early days MESA only partially worked (moving too close to landmass would crash game). But both those issues are fixed now I believe.

ATM I'm waiting for video card prices to stabilize, either I get a Vega NANO if the price is right or a 1080Ti MINI. But atm its looking like a XMAS sort of thing due to price hikes on allot of memory prices and stock shortages. BAD time to upgrade, so my Fury X will need to keep chugging on....

Just don't expect too see any improvement in Arma 3 from a video card upgrade. If you have a Fury X, then you are guaranteed CPU starved 9 out of 10 times in this game already. Arma 3 is quite different from other games when it comes to how it uses hardware. The most important thing to get this game running smooth is massive single threaded IPC * frequency. It doesn't care how many cores you have, and it barely cares about what video card you have either.

I really miss Assetto Corsa after leaving Windows behind.

Dirt Rally is on my wishlist.

Looks like they are still committed to the ports. :)

"In cooperation with our external partners at Virtual Programming, we plan to start working on updating these experimental ports to the current main branch release (1.76) soon™."

Apex downloaded this morning for me, and I'm happy to report that it plays very well now :)

Quoting: Crazy PenguinNo, it is still behind the Windows version, which is 1.76 if I get this right. Linux/Mac are 1.70.

Correct. 1.76 was just recently released on Windows together with the Laws of War DLC. The Mac/Linux ports are thus three major patches, and two DLC's behind. IIRC, what we have right now is what Windows had early 2017. I think we are about 6 months behind.

Quoting: PixelPiIs this Game somehow like PUBG? Hope VP will port PUBG some day.

Naah, not exactly. PUBG kinda has it's roots from an Arma 3 mod called Battle Royale, and it does take some inspiration from the Arma series but it's a very different game in the end.

Quoting: EmazzaIs cross platform online multiplayer supported?

With matching versions yes

Which in practise means: Multiplayer in Mac/Linux ports is completely barren, unless you can find a group of friends to play with.

Oh, nice. Played this game a lot before ditching Windows (Steam says 1416h). It's a shame they can't update the Linux port more often, otherwise I would probably start playing it again.

Played the game a bit on Windows back when it launched, and honestly, it's kind of dissapointing. Intriguing at first, but with very dissapointing end-game and very little replay value. Gets booring really fast.
