Quoting: GuestEdit: Oh, i googled and they are plenty of free courses on the web ! Can anyone knowledgeable tell me if it is a practical way of learning some music or just a loss of time? I always thought you had to go to a music academy and stuff at minimum.

Well, I know nothing about music theory, nor do I know how to play an instrument, but that doesn't prevent me from toying around. It depends on what you want to achieve, I guess :wink:

Now we need the plugin to be applied to other people on Discord :tongue:

Quoting: NibelheimI try it... Terribad perf :(.

I got GTX970. Someone got any tweak ?

--force-vulkan not working, it blocks on loading screen...

I tried launching the game, and indeed, something is wrong with the perfs... I only got ~15fps at the beginning, when it was more around 60-80 last time I played...

I have been trying to setup Jack + Pulseaudio working for my external USB soundcard ; also I have been tinkering a lot with virt-manager to try various stuff on VM, so not much time to play this week (I did find the time to buy a few more games on Steam, though :whistle: )

Quoting: emphySet up a new retropie system on a pi4 and copied over the rom file of Golden Axe from sega's genesis collection on steam. It's really annoying I had to download the bloated piece of manure (sega's emulation interface) to get to the pearl (the collection of roms), but worth it, certainly at the 1/3 sale price that collection is regularly at.

Makes me remember that I finally got my hands on a original Eternal Champions cartridge for my Megadrive. I loved that game when I was a kid :smile:

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: EikeIf I had such a setup, i'd disable the second monitor for gaming to get what I payed for.

Yep, indeed. If you have a high quality monitor, you can disable the worse one while you are playing something to get full benefit from adaptive sync and high refresh rate.

Wayland compositors should support mixed cases better.

Except that it currently doesn't seem to work reliably (in X11 at least). I tried rebooting with only my Gsync monitor, but Gsync was only active in a Gsync demo and some games (enabled in Dead Cells, disabled in Crucible for example). But that's another story ;)

Quoting: EhvisBut that's a general X11 thing, so that applies to everybody that has GSYNC on Linux. It only works on a single screen setup.

Yes, I know. But, in the survey, would I have to:
- say that I have Gsync / adaptive sync, even though it is not technically working, so I am not really using it ?
- say that I do not have it, but then someone may conclude from the survey that very few people have a Gsync display, so there's no point in making it work ?

That's my concern ; as I said, this could be a nice addition to the survey, and it is gaming-related.

Quoting: Liam DaweYeah, honestly that sounds like a fluff detail we don't really need.

Can you please add monitor refresh rate and usage of adaptive sync points? Those are directly gaming related and would be interesting to see, in addition to already existing resolution.

I really like this idea, however, I am wondering how this would work with multiple monitors ?

For example, I have 2 monitors, one is 180Hz with Gsync, and the other is 75Hz, so technically I could play at 180Hz (max) with Gsync enabled, (like I did when I was using Windows), but under linux, I am capped at 75Hz with no Gsync...

So I am afraid that the answer to these question will be biased.

Nice, I bought the game just after release and enjoyed it, despite a few annoying bugs (had to search for a walkthrough after getting a key object, but the pop-up explaining how it works did not show, and I was stuck... :/)

I was looking for an excuse to try another run, this update seems like a good occasion :smile:

Quoting: 2fastHunterI found an old game running again: Battleforge https://forum.skylords.eu/ [External Link]
Discarded by EA and brought back to live as a fan project.
But i could not get the installation work under Linux. Maybe someone could write a Lutris installer out of this https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/topic/4210-open-stress-test-all-you-need-to-know/ [External Link] and this https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/topic/6012-new-development-on-skylords-reborn-mac-via-wine/&tab=comments#comment-81184 [External Link] That would be great :)

Oooh, someone else knows about Battleforge :smile:

I tried the game somewhere around last summer (on Windows), but it was quite buggy (stutters and crashes).
I haven't tried it since I switched to Linux though.

Played Street of Rage 4 with 3 friends. It was fun, but I am not quite clear on some mechanics... That will make an excuse to play it again and unlock new stuff I guess :smile:

Haven't tried the demo yet, but this reminds me of the old Powerslide game ;)
