I've just discover Starsector some days ago... and.. WOW, just lacks multiplayer but this game is amazing.

Thank you !
Ive tried Mineclone2 yesterday evening (without any other mod) and the work is impressive.
Its close to MC when i played it some years ago (firsts versions), a long time before MS.
Performance is impressive compared to MC Java client.

At this time, it lacks different biomes (i dont see sand, but maybe my seed is invoved, and maybe there is a mod for that, or i have to explore more), but the core gameplay looks pretty solid. :)
I've seen MC evolution trought some articles on it, and MT/MC2 may be far from that nowadays, but its enjoyable without any doubt.

Which is just wrong. A game should be enjoyed for what it has to offer. And no, an open-source game doesn't provide freedom.

Me and my son enjoy it. We also enjoy many non-free games (like e.g. Supraland or Lego series). Granted we never played original Minecraft (and we never will from the look of things).

Never tested Minetest, but i want to try.
I have seen that Minetest is not a game by itself but a sort of engine/base for MC like games.
I have understand that in order to play in minetest, it will require some mods to have a game.

Any suggestions on must-have mods ? What are you using ? Thx

I will not use it. Firefox is all i need.
Want to see what will happen with Zenimax.
If ESVI is ported on Linux, maybe i will think that Windows <3 Linux is not BS. XD

A flag is stored in config file to not warn again and again.
I think that since overcloaking is juste for NVIDIA, you will see this message only if you have a NVIDIA card ?

What do you mean overclocking is just for Nvidia? I haven't overclocked an AMD GPU myself, but I did undervolt my old RX580 on Linux to deal with the crappy MSI card's overheating problem, and the same tools would have allowed overclocking as well.

Also, the comment above that setting pretty explicitly states that it'll be gamemode applying the overclocks, doesn't it? Maybe they haven't actually implemented overclocking, but I don't think the setting is supposed to be about notifications.

I'm mean that is stated in the article.
Obviously you can overclock AMD cards if you want to.
From the article, it's seems that overclocking via GameMode is only for NVIDIA cards:

"GPU performance mode (NVIDIA and AMD), GPU overclocking (NVIDIA)"

The comment above just say there is a guardrail in gamemode if you want to overclock (you have to set the option manually in the ini file), and the article says overclock is just for NVIDIA :)

If we go deeper, maybe the article is wrong ?

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GameMode-GPU-Overclock [External Link]

Here, we can see overclock is for NVIDIA *and* AMDGPU... seems pretty logical because it is trivial to overclock via /sys like i was saying before.

The option in the ini does not prove anything, but this (merged) PR does: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/pull/101 [External Link] ;)

So we can wonder why Liam Dawe has witten "GPU overclocking (NVIDIA)" ? :s
