Do we need to revert the engine tweaks?
Always advisable to do after a patch, and verify contents to make sure you have the correct files from the new patch.

Article has be re-done, please re-check folks.

Feds has done some great work re-doing the graphs, the Months on the graphs now match the correct month for the Data not the month we present it (so it's accurate now).

QuoteI'm now leaving out the old/jokey left in question about what type of drivers people are using on Intel, as there's only one type.

Quoting: TheBossI'm going to look at ways to re-do the survey and make it more accurate, unsure how right now. I am thinking possibly re-starting it and getting fresh data then from day-1. A hopefully easier option will be to get Feds who does the graphs to bump all the data back a month to show it correctly.

If you would do a whole new setup, I wonder if it should be more about gaming and less about Linux. E. g. I don't care a cent if people changed their distro last month (and I really wonder if that many do or if that many don't understand the question). I'd be more interested in say if they use a controller or a wheel, or what their most interesting game of the month was, or how much time they use for playing, ...
Very good comment, I will see what I can do. I also think the distro-hopping question really isn't needed at all for a gaming focused survey.

Quoting: GuestLinux games bought (and related) graph(s) are interesting. I guess it coincides with xcom2.

How? XCOM 2 wasn't available in january.

Ah... title is wrong?

The results are from February, but the answers are for January data if that makes sense.

Wasn't my choice, this just how it was setup originally and I took over.

Dying Light patch released

For those interested, I found the issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/46sske/cities_skylines_crashing_on_launch/d07ljf9

It also affects other games. Looks like it's going to be an issue for newer/more up to date distributions.
