Any keys left, still?

I would love to give that a try.

I liked the early access trailer better.

I love how I have 91 hours of playtime on unreleased game, tho, haha.

How does it's performance of recording video (not streaming) compare to SimpleScreenRecorder?

No loss. Just play Dota, it's better anyway.

Or HoN, which is also a Linux supporting moba and was also a better game than LoL, it's just kinda ded at this point.

Ah hell yeah, a true classic.

I can recommend to everyone, it's not a bad tactical shooter and comes with probably quite surprising twists.

Many twists.

Preordered already.

I am usually myself firmly against preorders, but these devs have proven themselves in the past and the game is a bargain even right now.

Quoting: SkarjakI always upgrade to the latest drivers. Still choppy. Still not choppy on Windows with super old drivers I haven't bothered to upgrade in ages.

Do you use a compositing graphics environment like Ubuntu's Unity? That sometimes messes even with Source games. Try disabling compositing in your graphics environment or install an alternative graphical environment where it can be disabled if you cannot disable it in your GUI.

I think it's very important to mention the the so called XCOM: Long War mod [External Link], which massively ramps up the difficulty and depth as well as duration, bringing the game more in line with the original XCOM game.

It's a pretty huge overhaul to the difficulty curve you can expect both from the meta gameplay on the game map as well as the tactical missions, and makes the entire game far more rewarding, even if SERIOUSLY difficult and SERIOUSLY long term deal.

It also brings plenty of new features and options, but choosing correctly and planning diligently is more vital than ever.

Quoting: GuestOpenGL is not open source. It's an open standard (that also comprises has some patent encumbered components).
Anyone is free to implement OpenGL, but it doesn't make that implementation open source, nor does it make anything using OpenGL open source.
Just wanted to clarify that.

Well to be perfectly exact OpenGL cannot be properly "open source" because it's not a piece of software, it's a language, a description of API, and such. It doesn't have any source code that could be open, it has abstract definition of functions and of how should they operate.

Individual implementations may or may not be open source but for instance the binary Nvidia driver which most people here are probably using, isn't.

Quoting: MajorLunaCI completely forgot. With the line-up of companies, and no mention of open anything, this is gonna be proprietary, and you will never see any source code. How can that replace Open-Source OpenGL? It shouldn't.

Do you ppl even play most of the EA games? I stopped at BF2142, which I only recently got running on Wine, and even online with cracked exe's made by clans, no thanks to EA saying "go screw yourselves" to those that lost online game support after the GameSpy shutdown. Why is every new thing that happens in Linux considered good news? Tell me one single reason EA would want anything to do with Linux, when even Unity wants nothing more to do with Linux because it's "not a viable market." And don't give me any optimistic bs, I'm talking business-wise. What do these companies stand to gain? (The most important question in anything "Who stands to gain?") Especially considering their view of Linux. Microsoft has been aiming to tear down or profit from Linux since its beginning:

http://techrights.org/category/novell/ [External Link]
EA has been involved with Microsoft plenty, as have some of the other companies.

Personally, I think I'm very lax and nowhere near paranoid enough. I don't even come close to those that know the full extend of what's going on behind the scenes. Even I fall for many of the propaganda headlines, just out of hope that somehow things will work out, even though few people are even aware of the hidden agendas of these companies. Who stands to gain? Business is all about gain, after all. Don't tell me you think businesses are about being helpful, friendly, cooperative, etc., unless you're talking about price-fixing and such among many companies.

Yeah no you are plenty paranoid. The point of OpenGL is that it's open and there's no reason why it should suddenly be proprietary; it's actually practically impossible. Khronos is not exactly a thing that formed just now and it doesn't anyhow change how OpenGL operates, except for maybe actually pushing for it's further widespread adaptation.
