@omer666 can't you force anti-aliasing through the Nvidia Settings panel?

I've also got a GTX660 and LLredux...haven't tried it yet, but looking forward to it!

First-Person Puzzle Game The Talos Principle Due For Release Today, Available For Pre-Loading

@EKRboi You're right to keep raising the issue. I believe polite, insistent requests for better support will make a difference.

I don't have SLI, and will probably never invest in it....but if I did, I'd be peeved if it didn't work, and let's face it, if Linux is to be the future of gaming, this needs to be solved.

Grim Fandango Release Date And Day Of The Tentacle Special Edition

How did the MSO get the gig of playing the Grim Fandango score?! Although there was a rash of video game theme songs being played at one point iirc...

Empire: Total War Available Now For Linux - Conquer Both On Land And Sea

Great explanation, that makes total sense...yeah multiplayer is complex, but I never knew about these platform sync problems due to Math libraries, super interesting. Another reason why we don't need Microsoft...they love to re-invent the wheel and create their own system libraries/utilities.

Bought it earlier today....not even sure if I'll have time to play this. I enjoyed Medieval 2 back when I used to run Windows (BYE BYE!!), so if I do get around to it, it should be fun. Thanks Feral!!

@Hamish I bought IWD for full price to support Linux, but otherwise if you track the BG prices, it has gone as low as $5 before, so just be patient :)

Same. I went for Icewind Dale because it looked shorter and more polished. I think it's more action focussed and has less emphasis on story than BG. Both look very similar though, same engine. The stories are unrelated so take your pick..BG is pretty huge though. They're both pretty lightweight performance wise, playing on an HD4000 Intel card with zero issues, very smooth.

Space Hulk Ascension Strategy Released For Linux

Really enjoyed the first one which is even playable on an Intel HD4000. I don't understand why there aren't any reviews, the user reviews on steam are overwhelmingly positive. Full Control have earned my trust, they seem pretty dedicated to the 40K universe. I've bought it, just haven't had time to play it yet...damn
