Hotline Miami 2 Released, Doesn't Work On Linux For Some
10 Mar 2015 at 9:44 pm UTC

Doesn't work for me on Arch i7 3770K GTX660

I guess it has something to do with what mouse/keyboard you're using. (Logitech g15 and Roccat Kone XTD for me) might try my steelseries sensei with it and see if there's a change. If you have an xbox pad , playstation controller or some other usb controller, you can play it with that and it will work fine.

Hand Of Fate Out Of Early Access

Quoting: edgley
Quoting: Segata SanshiroI'm getting on average 42 fps on my 750 ti with the highest settings (still lower than I would expect from this though). The cards are quite even in performance so you should be getting around the same.

Maybe try newer drivers? I've found updating drivers has made a big change in performance for a few games in the past.

Edit: Probably closer to 30 fps in combat.
Ta for that. Yeah, I always run bleeding edge (one of the reasons I run Arch), but there could well be a performance boost between the drivers then and now.
Same here pretty on quite similar specs ( i7 3770k, GTX 660 on Arch) getting some nasty fps drops (getting around 50 fps dropping to 30 while in combat) and some stutter (running windowed with graphics on "fantastic" and ssao on) my problem is that it takes ages to start up on my machine with the loading-indicator in the corner stopping and the window not reacting for a good minute before the game starts.

Fans Making Super Mario 64 Remake, Looking for Contributors

Nintendo lawyers:"Should we sue?...yeah we should probably sue."

I think the biggest problem is that they call it "super Mario 64 HD " Nintendo will probably sue for the name alone.

The Talos Priniciple Public Test Released

Ran pretty good for me. Low fps at first but after a minute or so it felt pretty good performance wise. Didn't have a fps counter but it felt like 30 to 60 with everything on ulta on a machine with an i7 3770, gtx 660, 16 gigs of ram on arch stable. Pretty much the same performance I have with serious Sam 3

Nvidia GPU-Accelerated PhysX Now Available On Linux

Quoting: omer666How can we benefit from this? Do we only have to wait for devs to implement it?
Do we have something to install?
right now we don't benefit from that. We'll have to wait for developers to release games with linux ports and physx or wait until games that already have ports can work with it that couldn't before.
So yeah, we have to wait until it gets implemented by the devs. there is a package for it in the arch user repos but it will probably take a few days til the different distributions push the new updated packages to the repositories. It doesn't help us right now- but it will as soon as devs start implementing it.

Game Saves Are Messing Up Our Drives!

A friend of mine found himself a solution for that by rearranging the user-folder structure, something like an "APPDATA" folder inside his homefolder, in which a lot of his stuff is saved so your user-folder looks cleaner. I will ask him how he did it and gonna post it later today.

GOL World Tour: Linux Gaming From Germany
30 Sep 2014 at 4:43 am UTC

That massive wave of adventure games started around 2007/2008 when there seemed to be an huge request for adventure games that was when daedalic
released "Edna bricht aus" (Edna is breaking out). A lot of other companies jumped on the adventure game train and devs like daedalic are still around making critically acclaimed games. I'm quite happy about that because without the adventure games, Germany would be known for the budget simulator games which are usually of poor quality with sub par graphics and a lot of bugs and glitches.

Always great when old stuff goes open source although keen dreams is the weakest of the keen games. It would be much more interesting if the other keen games would be open sourced.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Linux Beta Due Soon! (UPDATED)

Quoting: GoCorinthiansIs MP avaiable for anyone...I can only run offline play yet!
Servers doesnt even list here!
Server Browser doesn't seem to work but I managed to connect to a friends game over peervpn using the console for directly connecting to the ip (command: "connect 00.00.00.00" )
might also work with a normal server.

Edit: I may be wrong but I think a friend of mine could play online using the queue, haven't tried myself though.
