Quoting: rustybroomhandleSome in-game text is small and may be difficult to read

This is a problem on big screens running high resolution as well. I have my gaming setup on a TV approximately 3 meters away from the sofa, and some games have such small text that I cannot read it unless I run at something like 1280x720. Which results in jagged pixelated mess.

What's with the big knob in place of a joystick?

OpenGL? That's a name I haven't heard in a while.

I cancelled 2 months ago, and I am happier for it. Was getting so many games that I have no real interest or time to play, and had to justify to myself that maybe I will play them at some point. Made me feel stressed about not being able to keep up.

To be honest, the difference does not look as striking as with Quake 2. I think this shows just how good the "fake" lighting can look if done right. :grin:

Quoting: iskaputtVery exciting, looking forward to try futex2 in a couple of games.

How does one try it out? Does it need to be enabled in some way?

Quoting: rustybroomhandle76%? Not good enough, it must be 100% or Linux fails! FAILS!

I see Linux as equivalent of console gaming. If you buy a PlayStation, you do not expect to be able to run XBox games. In the same way I fully realize that when running Linux I will not be able to play all Windows games, and that is fine.

The latest Call of Warfare does not run on Linux? Well, I am an adult with a full-time job, and a several hundred games backlog on Steam. By the time I will have time to even consider playing it, Call of Warfare 4 will be out, and I will still have hundreds of other games to choose from.

Quoting: axredneckCan you add "VRAM amount" ?

Wouldn't GPU model tell you that?

Hi there. Thanks for the detailed answer.

Quoting: MershlRegarding your mouse handling experience, are you using a GNOME desktop?

I am.

The issue I am referring to is something else though. The mouse pointer is either invisible or is always rendered at the center of the screen, and does not represent where the mouse is actually pointing. In either case it is perfectly smooth, just makes it impossible to play any game where you need the mouse to navigate the menus.

Observed in The Witcher 1 and Aliens vs. Predator (2010) with GNOME Wayland on amdgpu drivers.

Is there any build of Proton with this included? I tried switching to Wayland, and erything just felt a bit smoother. However weird mouse handling issues in Proton forced me to go back to Xorg.
