Quoting: ElectricPrismI went through the reviews list and added like 20+ friends so whenever I open the game people come on since they see a popup in their steam.

That is a remarkably good idea, sir.

Hmm - a few percent improvement are sadly just baby steps towards the Nvidia bar.
I sure hope the day will come where we do have an alternative to choose from when it comes to Linux gaming GPUs, but it takes much more than this to get there.

Any improvement is still of course a step in the right direction. But the best to get out of this story is that they at least are working on it.

Quoting: CaldazarYou're mistaken on this. They created an extra Linux branch and actually support it with updates following our feedback, which they answer promptly.

Ah my point didn't come across clearly. My point is that we are so small that they can't be bothered with grabbing the potential economical outcome from it. They sell their copy on the other platforms - presumably they'd do the same on our platform, had only the potential been big enough. And it's (apparently) not. Cause we're so small. And that stings.

It's cool that they still do it of course. But this candy is slightly bitter-sweet.

Very, very promising. We needed some good news now.

It's kinda sad that our platform is so tiny, so insignificant, that they just give a build away cause they can't be bothered with it. It stings.

Xonotic! Every single weekday. I have set up a Xonotic server at work LAN so every day when clock strikes five a good bunch jump onto the server from their Macs, Win and Linux desktops.

Gotta love multiplat gaming.

Looks interesting indeed. I'll add it to my wish list.

Quoting: ElectricPrismOn the other hand Unity games like Road Redemption feel like the performance takes a incredible hit and the textures feel Game-cube-ish/Wii-ish

This is Unitys biggest problem: The amateurs who use their tools cause it's so accessible. The market gets flooded with poor products, and with the Unity logo fronting all of them, one quickly draw the conclusion that it gotta be the engine.

I used to be like you, ElectricPrism. I thought Unity where shite because the games I played made on it were so. But then I've discovered a few good games, made by professional designers and developers, and it made me realize the potential of Unity - how they can appear and perform. It really depends on the developer.

You should not blame Unity for the shitty looking or performance of Road Redemption (or a thousand other indie titles). Blame the designers/developers.

Hold on a sec:

Quoting: ricki42Works fine for me on Ubuntu 15.10.

Is Steam working for you under 15.10? When I upgraded to 15.10 my Steam client were uninstalled due to unmet dependencies, and I could not install it again after the upgrade. So I downgraded back to 15.04 again.

Is this fixed, or did you do something special to get it to work?
