Mainly Dota 2, with some Planet Explorers, and a little Witcher 2, and KSP.
Can't wait for Star Citizen to push Linux builds!!!

This is weird. I can install it without opting into the beta program. Is the beta just for the latest bug-fix updates or something?
EDIT: OK dw, I can click install, (it doesn't say the size it'll take) and then I can click play but nothing was downloaded so it gives no executable error. Now I'm opting in the maclinuxbeta to install it on my Linux =) yay, can continue playing this game without booting to windows now! =)

Good to know you're hanging around Liam!
The massive volume of articles just on Linux gaming here from you is really impressive!
Hopefully you'll be back soon =)

Might also try my hand at a couple of articles then ...
Peace

Well if they can pick what's good from Mantle, that's the great thing about FOSS. =)
Also, if in an engine a dev can just click/check "Build to Linux via Mantle" and "Build to Linux via OpenGL" then win win win =)

Quoting: Half-Shot

Quoting: aLWhat I miss is in-home streaming... It was working at some point, but is gone now :(

Me too :(
Demand wasn't as much as Windows -> Linux
But I'm not dualbooting just to stream.

THIS!
We're missing THIS!! xD
Want to stream to my HTPC. Both are running Linux.

Apparently from the Steam reviews it's like Mount and Blade with ships =P
Gameplay vid looks alright, been wanting a MoWAS gameplay-like naval game for ages!
Wonder if it'll be as fun with the open world as M&B and how it compares with Battlestations: Midway and World of Warships.

Quoting: EKRboiHad anyone been able to get glxosd to work with the steam version? I have been unsuccessfull. The game fails to start with "glxosd %command%" or "glxosd -steam %command%" for me.

@EKRboi, please read the usage instructions properly.
"glxosd --steam %command%"
or "glxosd -s %command%" - extrapolating from "glxosd --help" Common convention is that options with full words and not letters are prefaced with "--"

Saw the update on my Steam and thought to check here to see if you covered any news on it =P

I feel like whenever you quote something you should always link to the source.
The steam community hub forum announcement is here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/20920/discussions/0/34093781562019955/ [External Link]
And they have a github where they store all their update notes (the github is literally a readme of update notes haha) and where they ask us to report problems here: https://github.com/KillaW0lf04/The-Witcher-2-Issues [External Link]

Also, for those new to GLXOSD (like me), install it right here: http://nickguletskii.github.io/GLXOSD/install.html [External Link] (Use the top nav bar on the site for instructions on how to use and other stuff).
Also, some other ways to track FPS: http://ubuntugamingproject.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/5-different-ways-to-track-frames-per.html [External Link] (pretty much use WINE, game console, or mumble).

Since the last update (not this most recent one), input lag seems to definitely have died down. Will update with FPS details.

EDIT/UPDATE: So I never FPS benchmarked Witcher 2 before, but since that 2nd most recent update, input lag has gone down HEAPS - it's fun and responsive now! My settings are Ultra but without ubersampling, both blurs, and gameplay depth of field. FPS ranges between 30-60, averaging 40. Using GT 750 Ti. Temperatures are just under 50. (It's winter here and I have a maxwell =P).
Under Ultra, I get 15-25 FPS.
I'm playing on 1280x960 resolution.

I really like this guy's talks and resume =P
His Steam Dev Days talk is also interesting! (and more techy) =D
Nice to know his insight and experience in Linux gaming history. =)

Wow, thanks for the heads up! I never knew, and I'm guessing a lot of others won't too! Will definitely wait for Linux official release and play on Linux only. Looks at all the games I played on Windows before Linux >.> Never again! xP
