Wow, none of you guys played the relatively popular game, Gang Beasts [External Link]? This is clearly very heavily inspired by it.

Quoting: liamdaweLinux Nvidia driver was 367.17

No such driver version seems to exist. 367.18 didn't support the card [External Link], so he must have meant 367.27.

Edit: If you look in the youtube comments [External Link] (rather than more info) he says 367.18.

Quoting: TheRiddickSo far this closed garden setup Rift has going is a bit annoying, developers need to STOP THAT!

Oculus/Facebook are paying them to develop the games. They want to be the Steam of VR. While it sucks, they are still helping to prove the viability of VR.

Anyone wanting to Test Legions here is a bit late finding out about it. Uber have now shutdown the PTE test servers till it gets pushed into stable. The community have a couple of servers available but in order to use them there are a couple of steps:
- You must be using the PTE version of PA.
- You must edit the "~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation Titans/version.txt" file to contain just "89755".
- And then also install the mod using the community mod manager found in the main menu.

Quoting: wojtek88Does this game have Single Player Campaign?

It has the "Galactic War" which I wouldn't really call a campaign, it just gets you some what ready for multilayer, which is very much the focus.

Quoting: wojtek88is community of playing people big?

We have a relatively small but active community.

Quoting: burnallMy only wish are fixed graphic issues for AMD cards. Last time when I was trying to play I only got a black screen when the game started on opensource drivers and a plenty of glitches on proprietary drivers.

I believe there was a fix introduced for this quite some time ago. If not then try add "--software-ui" to your launch options as that used to fix it for people.

Quoting: N30NOne of the developers said he had "tear-free compositing working here with GL support on proprietary NVidia driver with current code [External Link]". So likely a misconfiguration or a new bug needs to be reported.

They are talking about unreleased code, post 4.12.

Oh, yes. Well at least you know a fix is coming (and/or where to get it). ;)

Quoting: liamdaweI did make a bug report to the Cinnamon developers back in January with no reply: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4990 [External Link]

Your bug report doesn't include enough information to be helpful, no mention of hardware, drivers, etc…

You could also try reporting it upstream, in your case that'd be: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin [External Link]

Quoting: GuestThe compositor of Xfwm 4.12 has a vsync option, but it doesn’t really work.

Quoting: GuestI’ve been happy with Compton for several years. ForceCompositionPipeline works too but Xfwm’s compositor is not as pretty or fast as Compton and the performance gain is minimal.

Well the advantage to this is you don't need to switch compositor, which many probably aren't comfortable with :)

You misunderstand, [nvidia's composition pipeline](http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/364.19/README/configtwinview.html) is for people that are not running a compositor.

Quoting: manus76On a general note: I think this is one of the more important issues and, to put it slightly hyperbolically, especially newcomers will be very easily put off if you tell them 'to get a tearing-free experience on linux you need to edit xorg.conf' they will go 'huh?' and return to Windows.

All major desktop environments include a compositor. This is why, if you're experiencing tearing you should file a bug report with your given distro (so it gets fixed for all your fellow users).

I've been Playing PA:T [External Link] (as usual) & the beta community made expansion: Legion [External Link]. Also se-up a VM so I could play Dark Souls III [External Link], twitch streams of Bloodborne really pulled me into the line of games. Since I had the VM up I've also played a little Rocket League [External Link] with friends (any news about on when the Linux port is actually getting a release?).
