Glad this may have helped some of you.
I have heard that other drives can be affected (eg. blue and some laptop drives), but since I cannot personally check and test, I only mentioned green.
The best idea I guess is to check even if it's not green.
I also have no idea if this fix would work for a non WD drive. I guess it might, but I haven't at all looked into it or tried it.

Very unique style. I will look at buying it once it's released on steam.

Quoting: minj

Quoting: Skully

Quoting: stssNow we just need something to be able to forcefully limit fps in Linux, like windows users can do with nvidia-inspector

It's been tested with 100's of games on steam both 32bit and 64bit. I have been meaning to clean it up a bit and place on github.
I might try and find the time to do so if people here are keen.

what about optimus support?

It should work with any gpu that supports this extension

I only have access 760, 660ti, 660, 560ti, 550, GTS250 all discreet cards. So no other hardware has been tested yet.

I have actually written a ".so" file that I LD_PRELOAD into any game allow the following.
1/ Force vsync on
2/ Force vsync off
3/ Force a FPS limit of your choice (framecap)
4/ Adaptive vsync ( Just like you can in with Nvidia on windows)
Nvidia opened an enhancement request back in 2012 to implement adaptive vsync and we still don't have it.

EDIT: I am going to see if I can get Nvidia to implement it in nvidia-settings or something.

I use a wireless xbox360 controller with the xpad kernel module for games like platformers, racing, 2d action.
Only a couple of games have any issue. With those that do I use a program called "antimicro" https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro [External Link] wich allows you to bind your kb and mouse to your controller. It works insanely well. Here is a video showing it being used to play Left4Dead 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s59cL_Vvoo [External Link]

I also agree that the link to do the survey has been too easy to miss if you didn't know to look for it. Maybe the survey itself deserves it's own post seperate from the results.

I finished the first one. It was great fun. Had no issues. My only complaint is it was too short. I wanted more.
Yes the strategy was simple. But that mixed with it's art style and humour made it stand out from the rest of the similar type games. It's simple light hearted fun.

From what I have seen in the forums. The developer seems nice and responds to issues very quickly. Apologises for problems and seems very keen on fixing them.

I am guessing there is more to this story than meets the eye. We only have 1 side of the story. Did you try reach the developers for their side of it?? It might just be one of those crazy people that blow everything out of proportion, abuse everyone and misuse the review system.

I look forward to many more games from this dev in the future.

EDIT: also if the customer had all these issues with the first game. Why on earth did he/she buy the next?? very strange.

Just noticed that on the main page you can't just scroll down forever any more, you have to load next page :(
Hope you would be interested in bringing that functionality back. It made cruising through last few weeks much nicer.

The big featured section took up way too much space so I've blocked it from showing along with a few other elements.
Rest of it is ok. Looks maybe a bit cramped/too busy. But otherwise pretty good.
Nice job everyone involved.

Hmm It uses Unity engine as far as I can tell.
So the whole "we will port to linux" is pretty much BS.
At most they may need to port a plugin that isn't compatible with linux.

I guess it's possible they use an older version of Unity without linux support, but I doubt it.
Since they aren't being very revealing about it. I will just assume they haven't hit the export button.

Yep Caesar also reminds me of settlers.
