I think I've gotten to the point where they just need to fix the paste buffer stuff in Wayland and I can switch to that, and I always thought one of the things Wayland was supposed to fix is this issue with screen tearing.

That said, I'm not getting a whole lot of tearing right now using Debian Sid on my 55" screen. I haven't done much to the configuration either, beyond installing the nVidia drivers. I really need to fix my laptop though so I can actually USE the nVidia side of things. What would have been nice is if they could come up with a chipset that had a really nice powersaving mode so we wouldn't need this PRIME/Optimus nonsense in the first place! Maybe their 10x0 cards will?

I didn't realize this series had so many games. I tried playing 5089 on the Vive, still haven't figured out HOW to play the game, but it seemed pretty cool. Will have to play it some more once HTC/Valve fix SteamVR for Linux.

My weekend died for the glory of Star ruler 2: Wake of the heralds. I'm not good at those games, but… (^  ^)'

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: tusharkant15This forces Triple Buffering so the performance does take a hit

Triple buffering is supposed to improve performance compared to double buffering. Well, the framerate should improve, not the latency.

i think the issue where it takes the hit is where game itself has triplebuffer enabled as well.
some games get really jumpy framerate when thats in xorg.. thats with my experience.

just ForceCompositionPipline fixes all tearing for me and no need to use other tweaks.

Quoting: sigz@mrdeathjr : Why testing neverwinter nights on wine ?

Good question

Because native alternative is complex* (steam version or gog could be acceptable), especially for new users

*same case occur with castle wolfenstein but in this can use nglide 1.05

However if installation process become more frendly for new users maybe can try native

Not much time to play this week, but I did catch up in the end buying on-sale (and completing) Firewatch :)
Also a few tries at No thing level 7.

Links should suffice. And even those should be limited to native Linux games unless the thread is about wine or emulation. Just my opinion of course.

100% Stellaris since it dropped. More than once I found myself wondering why I felt a little "off" while playing, only to realize it was almost 4 in the morning and I'd been playing for 6+ hours without realizing it (i hope my boss forgives me). It's not a perfect game, but it really hits all of my buttons. I'm completely its victim. And, yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it expansion, DLC, etc-wise.

I was trying out 7 days to die multiplayer this weekend. Planning on getting Stellaris next week & downloading the MOO alpha on Linux if my download limit allows..

Quoting: BOYSSSSSIs there a tutorial on how to use Valgrind to debug games or applications for newbies, or is Valgrind used only when you have the source code?

I haven't used valgrind in a while but all I think you need is the binary:

valgrind --log-file=valgrind.output --leak-check=yes --tool=memcheck <Your Binary Here>

You can name the log file whatever you want as well.

To get myself on the topic: I've been achievement hunting, but I've been playing Kopantino All-Stars Soccer the most. This game actually got me interested in continuing my sports related project. It will probably never get done, but at least I can say I keep trying, eh?

Got myself the Metro Redux Bundle on Steam and played some 20 hours of the Metro 2033, have yet to complete it.
Also got "Hook", a little puzzle game on Steam and played that for a while.
Of course my own game also kept me busy, but not from playing it :P

I'm playing Dust: A Elysian Tail.

Not sure I will finish it, the beginning is interesting but it gets repetitive very quickly.

At the beginning of the week EU4 was my main game, since I was finishing a game with Sweden and after it just Stellaris and I really hope that it gets more ways of winning the game.

Quake in cardboard VR: www.quakevr.com

Also got "Freaking Meatbags" dirt cheap on steam, and it is a pretty cool pixel tower-defense, RTS, gene-splicing kind of game that runs great on Linux.

Convoy is also fun, but didn't give me a long term motivation to play.

Battlestation Harbinger is cool if you are looking for a mobile game.

Nothing. I've been working long hours and haven't had time (or energy) to play any games. I'll continue playing The Detail later today.

I've been finding my way through the initial stages of Might and Magic IV & V World of Xeen, but have probably spent more time trying to get it to run on DosBox on my phone than playing the damned thing. Hoping to get it working to keep me entertained on a long flight.

Quoting: JackMayolwe had a lot of piracy which is to expect for a completely DRM-free game but the problem was that the pirates often caused chaos on the servers, like teamkilling en masse, etc. So the only way was to have a steamID check. Kinda sad for the legit players who want to play it outside of Steam but those are by far the minority, probably not even 0.5% of the playerbase.

Thanks for the heads-up JackMayol. I already figured that we (the DRM-free player base) are by far the minority when you guys still actively supported the game on Desura and loaded it up there for the few of us. ^^ So I already expected that one day the game will be Steam only.

I'd rather like to thank you for your continuous support.
