Quoting: InterzeroidAs I understood, Linux and Windows versions has different videooptions. What options does Linux version have?

We are missing the nvidia gameworks options from what I've seen, not sure what else.

It`s bad. Nvidia has already ported it on Linux.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIThey really should release this on Steam as FreeToPlay, it would significantly help them to have a distribution mechanism keeping all users at the latest version automatically.

they basically said they cant. maybe they will at somepoint but right now its not possible due to ressources to tinker the game into the steam framework and they would have to let go of xenostats in favour of steamstats, which after they put so much effort into it is no good option (plus inferious in their eyes, as far as i understood)

but yes, either this going to steam and building up a community or the game is pretty much at a dead end. it got quite some focus when one of the best movie makers of QL moved over in 2012 and advertised it within the quake community, but its slowly dying ever since.

xonotic (going to steam) or reflex (going for linux native) are pretty much the only hopes for arena shooters on linux right now. i know, i know.. theres unreal tournament. but i hate the clonky movement so ill just pretent it doesnt even exist :D

Quoting: wolfyrionI have a GTX 980 4GB and with all Video Options to high and I am getting 18 FPS without any tweaks :><:

Man, you need to update your card! :D
Let's hope they can fix the problems. At least they are working on it / acknowledging it.

Hopefully they fix the Radeon card issue soon...
This runs pretty much the same for me, except one thing, when I first launch it I get a black screen with a thing horizontal loading bar on the bottom (I assume it is for the shaders). When I seen that bar I was getting so hopeful :'(

QuoteKNOWN LINUX ISSUES WE ARE WORKING ON:
•the game does not launch on some systems (i.e. Linux Mint)
•the game does not work with Radeon cards
•some rendering/OpenGL performance issues
•too intense blur effect

Well at least they're aware of the issues. I was thinking of waiting on getting it, but I might pick it up after they get the motion blur and performance problems patched up.

Quoting: MaelraneA rather "stupid" question, but does the filesystem you use change anything? For some games *I heard* it's bad to use anything but ext4. (Although I'm not sure how or why you would optimize stuff for a certain filesystem.)
I personally am running btrfs exclusively since a few months. May this be a problem with dying light?

Yeah, btrfs and steam are a bad mix. I had a problem where updates took forever and locked the system due to the copy on write nature of the fs. The trick to get around it is;

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1737

See the chattr commands. You will need to either purge/move old data and then move it back in. Only affects updates afaict though.

Quoting: drmothThanks @Cheeseness, no rush but if you get a chance i'd love to know if it works flawlessly. I will get this title, just a question of when....and if I can play it on the couch that might accelerate the 'when' :)

I've done some brief testing and it doesn't seem to recognise my Logitech F310. I haven't had time to file a bug report yet.

Favorite thriller story: Hotel dusk Room 215

Scariest moment: I was playing silent hill 1 at 3 AM, after killing the giant dog and getting out of the school I was searching for the hospital when I heard a girl's scream outside (irl). There's a ravine behind my house, and the window on my room faces the ravine. The scream came from there. I never played silent hill again, and could not sleep that night. It could've been an animal, but it really sounded like a human.

They requested more details from me today, including asking me to adjust an option Linux doesn't have, so I was keen to point this out to them that Linux is missing graphical options.

I have also pointed out, again, that MB is forced on for Linux, as they asked me to turn it off.

Edit: I showed them a screenshot of the options of what I have, and they literally just replied with:

QuoteThank you for the screenshot. We're working on the performance issues.

Sorry, going OT, as if my earlier incoherent rambling wasnt enough...

Quoting: edoThe latest Evil Dead scares me, maybe because I never usually go to the cine to watch thriller movies.

Another unnecessary remake that manages to completely miss the point. The original is a classic due to its campy charm, and obviously because of Bruce Campbell's chin, definitely not because it's particularly scary. Obviously the original was supposed to be the scariest movie ever, foiled mainly by the shoestring budget and inexperience. The humour's unintentional, unlike in the sequels.

Sorry if you weren't referring to the 2013 movie. All these remakes just make me blow a gasket for some reason.

So far my experience with my Radeon HD 7870 and AMD FX 8150:

- Mesa 10.5 with llvm 3.6 on Kubuntu 14.10 64bit and Linux 3.19 rc6: Game launches but during loading it crashes (segfaults). I can't get to a point where images / intro video / etc. are shown. (see http://steamcommunity.com/app/239140/discussions/0/613948093894856905/?tscn=1422572819#c604941528473747137)

- Fglrx omega with Kubuntu 14.04 64bit (with stock Linux 3.13): Game launches correctly and doesn't crash but only a white screen is shown when intro video and main menu should be shown.

Sigh...

"The only word we have out of them, is that Linux issues will be sorted in a "future" update."

I'm afraid Linux will stay as a third class citizen for a long time. Especially if the scenario happens where developers makes the games for PlayStation (GNM and GNMX) and Microsoft products (DirectX 12) and other platforms uses wrappers.

Hopefully that first patch at the very least fixes the inability to secure safe houses on Linux. While not being able to secure safe houses (except the ones that are part of scripted events) isn't a showstopper, it does limit you in gameplay a good bit, particularly if you plan to do night missions. I think that, along with and CTD or locking up the machine issues should take priority over performance fixes.

the first series of silent hill series,everything about this game is bizarre and creepy,walking in silent hill city,divided by nightmare and another world,the story itself is mind blowing.the most scariest for me the cat locker scary jump,most who play this game jumped from this scene.

scariest moment on gaming: walking on the water on the 1st amnesia.
thriller stuff? The latest Evil Dead scares me, maybe because I never usually go to the cine to watch thriller movies. I remember than !spoiler! one of the girls there hurts her mouth so bad than it did makes me feel pain.

Oh geez... best thriller story... Well, I did recently watch a movie called Maze Runner. It takes place in this almost alien maze. In the center is a meadow where people live. A few of those people go and run the maze trying to map it out and find the way out. I about crapped my pants when the Grievers showed up. ~shudders~

Favorite horror game so far is Amnesia, a Machine for Pigs. REALLY scary game, excellent ambiance, compelling story... I love it.

Thank you GoL for the news, and for the raffles. Congrats to the winners, whoever they may turn out to be,

At times in some busy areas it briefly drops to around 50 FPS, but most of the time goes around 100 FPS.

My favourite thriller? Michael Jackson.

Since I play mostly 4X games, not a lot of really scary moments, you know? Unless you count the first time in Master of Orion II when the screen suddenly shifts from the game to a shot of the Antarans coming down a wormhole at you and telling you they're going to exterminate you. But . . . nah.

Thriller? Depends what counts. The Professional was pretty awesome; I've been a Jean Reno fan ever since. Sexy Beast was very good if it's a thriller. And, this might strike some as odd, but The Crying Game. Aside from the . . . different . . . twist that got everyone's attention, it was actually a pretty tense and well-acted story about betrayal and revenge in the IRA. Had some good lines, too. Main character being hassled, has had enough, quietly asks the guy, "Ever try to pick up your teeth with broken fingers?"

Quoting: PicoboomFor $60? I'll let the developers fix their own game and continue to wait for what I'm sure will be an amazing experience someday soon.

Yep.

Thriller? "12 Monkeys." I first saw it as a triple-feature thing in college with it, Brazil, and the Matrix.

First off, yuck. I'm not playing without shadows, it's already bad enough that your character has none. Second while it boosts the frame rate it's not the cause of nor the fix for the major frame drops (which seems to be due to a lack of geometry culling).
