Need to share: I got the Steam survey today, for second or third time on Linux over the last about 3 years. BTW, anybody got the feeling as well that it tends to popup on the first of a month?

Quoting: Armand RaynalWhat surprise me is that there is not more microsoft bashing here at GOL, and everywhere else where we like GNU/Linux.

Microsoft is the only significent reason why we can't play on our favorite system.

The main reason I don't care too much about Microsoft is that nowadays I can play on my favorite system, and more than I actually have time to play.

Quoting: LeonardKI still cannot grasp how such deals can be legal. If it's obvious (as it is here) that the only problem is a deal which distorts the market (especially *for* the almost-monopoly) then it should be not allowed or invalid imho.

Far from being an expert at this stuff, I'd say that yes, they are near a monopoly in terms of os, but this deal does not create any major disruption of the games market, as can be seen from the loads of Linux games available.

Quoting: ElectricPrismNothing personal, but when a dev fails to release for Linux this is what crosses my mind

Sorry, but developers take publishers for a long time now, independent of Linux or any other platform.
For a reason, I guess.
And it's not a technical one.

The mail I've got doesn't display right in Kmail, neither as plain text nor as HTML.
Plain text ony shows the "Login detected from: ..." line, HTML view shows nothing, only white.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Ehhh, not sure why devs keep making these kind of deals, if they were lacking funds I can understand that but on the other side of the coin, there are alternative ways of obtaining funds such as kickstarter.

I'm sure they've had their reasons but looking at the bigger picture here they're leaving 3 platforms dry which could mean some good profit, especially from the PS4 side.

It's probably safe money versus taking a chance.
I understand taking the safe side.

Quoting: omer666Once again, great job Feral! I dared trying the "Ultra" preset and it runs really well on a Core i7 4770S + GTX 666 + 16Gb of RAM. I hope I'll get the same kind of performance with other titles to come...

The GPU of the devil...! :D

Quoting: ElectricPrismAnyone recommend any good Local Multiplayers with Full Controller support? I want to collect a couple more Steam Controllers and some Local games to play w/ friends.

For two people:
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime [External Link]
(Didn't test with Steam controller.)

Quoting: GuestI think it is a known issue with non-English locales (if your locale uses the comma as a decimal separator, probably). It works for me but my system is in English.

That fits, I'm living in a decimal comma country. Should not be too hard to fix though, the game itself runs perfectly.

Quoting: GuestEdit: BTW, I’m quite happy with the performance: 60 FPS on High with vsync on, even though the game auto selected "Low" video settings for me… Core i5 4690K @3.5-3.9GHz, GTX 660 2GB, Xfce, Compton, Gentoo.
Anyway the game looks about as good on low settings (-> 170 FPS or so).

Same here! Got a preset of low for my GTX660, set it to medium (minimal fps > 70) and then to high (minimal fps > 60).
