XCOM 2 is so popular it has beaten the all time peak player count of a number of games

Quoting: zebFinally user Brix cracked the problem on Steam forums:

unset LC_ALL

It has been confirmed for many users. How come does this interfere with 3D rendering?
Is it connected with locales that have commas between floats (like "3,14" instead of "3.14" )?
Because that might make a whole bunch of different problems, including 3D rendering.

I'm still pondering about buying the Steam Controller bundle, and I still wonder...

Quoting: QuanTuMI preordered XCOM 2 and just bought the steam controller 40% reduced, you don't need to buy the bundle if you already have XCOM 2!
Your chance, it compensates for the ridiculous shipping costs!
Does anybody know how long this offer will last?
I wanted XCOM 2 and was curious about the Steam Controller, so that would be very nice,
on th eother hand, I'd like to wait for the patch...

Valve rep mentions they will eventually survey Big Picture & SteamOS

Quoting: khalismurTLDR? It is a survey and it is statistics.
+1

Quoting: khalismurThe only question we can't answer is how representative the sample is.
It might e. g. be a bit biased towards Linux, because as a Windows user, I'd probably have opted out ("Why would I?!?" ), as a Linuxer, I'm happy when I get it and opt in ("Hey, let's support Linux!" ).

Quoting: wvstolzingHow is this a confirmation, though? It looks like they're just joking around.
"upcoming patch that will add Vulkan functionality:" “Soon.”
And they are stating the same on Facebook.

Quoting: Renzatic GearI just looked at the recommended specs on Feral's website, and they're recommending the 355.63 drivers to play it on.
I asked Feral about this, because nvidia website does not list or provide any 355.63 driver. Same on their FTP server. I wonder if it is a typo for 352.63.
Maybe they updated 352 to 355 and forgot the part after the dot.
