Ballistic Overkill leaves early access, but major new features will still be added

According to this [External Link], the game will be 13$ on release - in some hours. Thanks for posting early enough (for me) to buy before! :)

Great!
I gave up on Call of Duty (and with it FPS in general) when Black Ops II didn't have a server browser anymore.

It's still marked as early access and has got the same price tag, so I bought it now.
I figure it has server choice, like in the good old times?
Looking forward to being killed by you, guys and gals!

Quoting: lucifertdarkI tried this the other day when you posted it & the cpu kept overheating, turns out one of the clips that are supposed to hold the fan in place had broken & it wasn't sitting against the cpu so cooling wasn't happening at all, one refresh of the thermal paste & a new fan later & no more overheating, thanks to you Liam I got a potentially cpu threatening problem fixed. :D
Cool!

... in both meanings of the word! :D

I never even had heard about Planescape: Torment until 2016. I wonder if I should fetch it. Heard great things.

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesnVidia GPUs are switching performance levels all the time like expected. I thought that with CPUs everything was the same...
But they do! Their performance levels are called Mhz, not governer.

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesI tested it, and it's never switching to „performance“ without command and I find this stupid.
That's how these settings are supposed to work, though: You decide about the governor (if you actually know about it), and the governor decides abotu you CPU speed. It doesn't magically switch governers, it magically switches speed (in the limits of what the governor is supposed to archive).

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesDoes this mean that all the benchmarks of games were actually incorrect? I mean Windows vs Ubuntu (or Linux in general..)?
:-( I fear, rerunning some might be interesting...

*edit* If you do, don't forget to search for other possible optimizations in advance, like maybe this one: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/you-will-want-to-force-your-cpu-into-high-performance-mode-for-vulkan-games-on-linux.9369/comment_id=89164

Wow! Didn't expect that much non-exaltation! Seems I need to rebuy it and play again just to see if I remember all wrong. ;)
