I am really hoping that Zen will support LibreBoot and Polaris will have good drivers, I am planning to switch my Intel/nVidia build for a fully AMD-made build the moment that happens.
I don't know what's the whole fuss about nvidia's drivers being "good", maybe they are better than AMD's current drivers, I honestly don't know, but nvidia's drivers also give me the headaches every now and then, and Intel is super tricky with LibreBoot :(

Man, in an ideal world I could just install the free drivers and be off with it, but sadly performance isn't great from what I heard :/

Quoting: khalismurARK devs W.T.F?
From Steam:

and the number of active players on our official servers is really, really low from those demographics. Like orders of magnitudes less.

I'd love to play Ark, really. But the game wouldn't even play at 2fps for me, even though my rig should play the game fairly well.
You can't gimp a game for a specific platform and then complain when nobody on that platform plays your game :whistle:

For comparison, on Windows, I used to get anywhere between 40 and 60 fps.. that's a shame.

Quoting: LinasLove the voice acting. Like when the character throws a grenade and shouts "here's a present for you, bitch." I have heard people complaining about English versions of Russian games, but they do not realize that it is actually quite hard to translate Russian slang accurately. For exampe the previously mentioned phrase is only 3 words in Russian.

Long story short, learn Russian, play in original language. :)

Man, as a Russian who doesn't live in Russia and doesn't get to interact with slang much (I only speak Russian with my family & their friends), it cracks me up every time I get to hear Russian slang (movies, when I play with Russians, Russian games, Russian sites, etc).
The Russian slang is just as rich as the language itself :) some phrases amaze me every time.

Quoting: GuestThe part that concerns me:

Escape from Tarkov is the hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with MMO features and story-driven walkthrough.

MMO could mean an always online requirement just to play a single-player game.

I kinda don't think it's a single-player game. It would be cool if it had an offline SP mode, but the feeling I'm getting is that this is like a DayZ or H1Z1 type multiplayer survival game, but with an added element of PvE and story, rather than just a sandbox to gank people in.

It has been confirmed that the game offers an Offline mode.

Quoting: edddeduckferalThanks for the info.

Hi, sorry for hijacking.
I'm running Gentoo Linux with latest mesa (11.1.1), linux 4.4.0, i5 2500k (default clock), gtx 560 nvidia-drivers 361.18 (beta), and a clean X11 (1.17.4) with DWM 6.1 (a window manager)
Empire Total War launches (and plays) just fine.
However, Medieval launches, but the window is very very verrryyy small (screenshot: https://a.pomf.cat/tzuxlu.png) [External Link].
Menu music works, as well as keyboard (I mean, I guess at the beginning there is some intro video like in empire? when I click the enter key it skips it, and when I play around with the arrows/enter I can hear menu response sounds)

What can I do in order to debug the game furthermore, and perhaps send all of that info back to you guys for analysis?

tried launching steam from the terminal: http://pastebin.com/GBZUxzzs [External Link] (that elf error persists across all of my games, so that's not the issue that makes medieval malfunction)

was anybody else experiencing problems with a minimalistic WM? (I'm running DWM)
I had to refresh the graphics everytime I loaded a map / got flashed because the FPS would drop from ~130 to ~20.
Downloading the stable build now, hope it got fixed..

Just a small remark on the "how many games did u buy last month" question. Just to show how much of a not accurate question it is (although I doubt there are so many people that failed as hard as I did!), I completely forgot that I had actually bought 7 linux games the last month (yes, 7!), I forgot because, although I keep my finance tightly organised (in my head), and remember everything I bought, for how much and when, those purchases were as a debt-payback from a friend, so it completely slipped my mind >< (I answered that I bought no games, and when I realised my mistake I figured it would be unfair to answer again).

I'd gladly appreciate a key, if it's still available.

Quoting: kozecLooking at that readme... May I ask, where in the world you saw GNU\Linux written with backslash? :D

Tehehe, will fix

Quoting: iensensamaYes, good initiative (but wouldn't symlinking just leave equally annoying symlinks in the same locations?). In any case I would like to contribute, so I have compiled a list of all my offending Steam games...

But I am simply not going to create 50+ issues on github... Perhaps emailing or pm'ing a list in your desired format would be preferable to everyone involved? (or an editable wiki as suggested)

Thank you very much!
For now, you can PM your list to me directly here on GOL, until I will resolve the wiki, working on other important suggestions :)

Quoting: WorMzyCan I suggest tagging your releases?

Yes thank you I will.

Quoting: lucifertdarkBraid is one that can be added easily, it's hiding in /.Braid , I don't have a github account.

ps the rest of the games I've got installed in steam right now all have their save files in the /.local/share folder, all over the share folder.

OK, will look into that.

Quoting: xitij2000I wrote a small python script for myself a while back that places links for all my game saves in one folder. Another small bash script tars each of those and puts in a folder for backup.

I also wrote a scraper for scrapy that downloads information about save game locations from PC Gaming Wiki.

Here is save game location data for hundreds of games:
https://gist.github.com/xitij2000/c5e66d5447dc7653a3ea [External Link]

It lists over 400 entries, but many are blank.

Thank you, will look into that.

Quoting: Xpanderhttp://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Category:Linux [External Link]

is a good place to look for save locations

Thanks!

Quoting: pd12Where is your online database? You should include it in your git:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tux1c/Tux1c.github.io/master/projfiles/lgso/lgsolist.txt [External Link]

You should potentially make it editable like a wiki, so people with no programming skills can just enter in a new game (pushes approved by mods of course, no funny code injection like "rm -rf /" =P)

Originally, the idea is to open an issue with the tag "game save" with all of the info, but I'll look into that.

Quoting: DrMcCoy

Quoting: Tux1c 2it is fully usable

Yeah, and there's really no error checking at all that the directory creation, copying, etc. was successful before it rm -rf $OLD_DIR.

I also don't like that it gets a random file from the internet, parses it and uses the entries in that file to just go about your home and copy and delete stuff there. No even asking for confirmation anywhere. It would quite easily be able to delete your whole home directory with a tiny mistake in that lgsolist.txt file...

Will work on it, thanks.
