How to fix bodies not showing in Shadow of Mordor with Nvidia drivers temp fix

I can confirm that Feral's current beta fixes the bug. No idea if it fixes anything else. Personally I found the hack in the comments of this previous GOL article.

This was fun! I like drawing silly things. Who knew? I sure didn't. In fact I don't think I've drawn or painted anything since high school, and it's been a couple of decades. In any case, I'm sure this wasn't the last time I'll hijack the Cintiq and fire up mypaint.

More of these "competitions" please. And I don't even care if there are winners or prices. As long as they're not too serious.

Ok, thank you.
Any way to know who has won?
Yes. The obvious way is to wait until tonight. ;)

Slime Rancher updated, hits 300K sales and I asked the developer about their Linux support

Quoting: tmtvlWay I see it you support Linux for the ideology, not for profit margins.
I guess companies like Feral and Aspyr are really big on ideology then. ;)

Quoting: MaeghtyMuffinsMe do good. Except the link to the image doesn't appear to work. Used the bbcode tags... no joy...
Ok, imgur has made this less obvious at some point, so here's a short guide:

When you mouse over an image you've just uploaded, at the top you'll see an url you can copy. Ignore this one, and instead hover over the downward-pointing chevron icon at the top right corner of the image. Now click "Get share links" in the hover menu that appears. Then click the Copy button next to the field titled "BBCode (Forums)" and paste it to your comment here as is. This way you get the image url wrapped in img tags correctly, so just hit preview or post and bask in the glory of your artistic achievement.

Hope this helps someone. I'm sure there are other, less complicated image hosting services available though.

Experience the harsh cold in Near Death, now out on Linux

Quoting: BeamboomIf a game with vsync enabled delivers say 50 frames during a second (and it can), it is fifty frames during that second, ergo 50fps. You're just been given 50 full pictures and not partially written frames due to sync issues.
Yes, that's what I meant, even if a smoothed average seems to be the preferred way in many circles now. The traditional "FPS" measure is however calculated from single frame times, which results in even 60 or 30 in a vsynced game, never 50.

Quoting: BeamboomSo in theory you are all right, technically between the two 60th frames it's down to 30 but in practise the rate can and will still fluctuate during a span of one second.
True. This in no way contradicts what I said, or at least I don't think it does, so I don't know where "in theory" and "technically" come from.

Oh, I guess if you measure FPS using an average--which is entirely logical--instead of the traditional, dumb way, you will get FPS numbers between 60 and 30 at the boundary.
