Ah, one problem: I get several hundred FPS with a GTX 780 on my 120 Hz monitor. This makes the GPU getting hot, getting loud and wasting energy.

Quoting: riusma

Quoting: WorMzyIt runs well, but I seem to have an intermittent issue when using a mouse where I can't move my paddle to the bottom of the screen. It's almost as though the paddle already thinks it's at the bottom of the screen and won't move any lower. I have to move significantly up in order to be able to move down to the bottom.

This is using a Roccat Kone XTD, polling at 1000Hz, and running at 1000dpi.

The game seems to run well (I just run it some minutes for testing, will have a deeper look at it later) but I've encountered the same intermittent issue: sometimes the paddle don't reach the bottom of the screen, using some basic HP mouse (so I don't think it's hardware specific).

Same here with a Logitech G400.

By the way, I didn't expect a beta to drop cards, even less so after some minutes. :)

Took one as well, this was just too tempting. :)
I'll give it a try soon.
Thanks!

Quoting: Doc AngeloI also buy Linux games. If there's an kinda interesting game, but it doesn't support Linux, it will fall off my radar more easily. But if there is a game I really want to play because I know other games from the developer or it's a successor of a game I loved, I will still buy it. Even if the developers state that they will never support Linux just because they don't have any experience nor interest in that. That's OK for me. I still like to give them money for a good game that is fun to play.

I totally understand that. It's hard for me to turn a blind eye to Fallout and Elder Scrolls...

Quoting: Doc AngeloI have to say that I wouldn't have thought that 67% are not dual booting - not even another Linux distro. Is it really that common for Linux gamers to not have a Windows partition ready for the case a game will not have Linux support - or just older Games which do not work well with Wine?

I guess GoL readers are a bit more hardcore than the average also-on-Linux gamer. I dual booted for over a decade for gaming and stopped in April 2014, when I felt there's enough to play on Linux. I tend to play through games and not revisit them, so no need to run older games.

I was going to say I'm missing the special questions we used to have in the monthly surveys, but I couldn't come up with somethin interesting to ask. Maybe the following could the be a one-time question (instead of adding to the user data survey)?

Quoting: GuestI don't know if it's just me but I'm curios how Linux gamers are scattered around the world. Are you open to the idea of adding the continent where a GOL member resides?

Quoting: wintermuteFor episodic games (e.g. Dreamfall Chapters) are we counting the release date of the first episode or the final episode?

Did I overlook the category "Most boring point and click ever"?

AFAIR we had (or at least considered) a sorting out phase. One or two days where people can state reasons why some entries are in the wrong list or such.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI mean, I dunno how many of these top-selling games were technically "AAA" games in terms of mammoth budgets from big companies, but surely it's more important to have the games people actually bought than the most bloated ones.

Totally! This is AAA fun, not AAA costs. (*)

(*) I should think of actually becoming PR guy. ;)

As always, this is Linux release year, not general release year, right?
