QuoteFor Linux gamers, you can now set extra mouse buttons to do things, which is apparently a big thing (I never use mine).

Finally!

Or just use this kind of mouse, which has 6 extra buttons that are hard-mapped to keyboard numpad 1-6 or numrow 1-6 (switchable under the mouse). It works out of the box on Linux, no driver needed. <3

Or any of the roccat gear, All there stuff is fully fucntinal under linux. It's what i use a good few games now :D




Quoting: subAnd still no official AMD support...

Don't know why ether as it runs well on a 290x at least.

Nice to see they are updating both and what not. BL2 is the game with most hours played in my now rather large linux game list :P

Quoting: alexHe just used the Big picture and ran it on some shitty KDE Linux and called it SteamOS.

Great, your one of these elitists that unless you run gnome or what ever on debian its "shity"

Is there really any reason to swear !

Then people wonder why the nix crowd are considered (insert expletive here)

Insurgency FPS Now Officially Available On Linux

Been running the beta too, Working damn well for me. The amount of updates/fixes they have done in the past few days is remarkable.

The game it's self is damn fun, frustrating at times but very rewarding so to speak.

Nice that going solo/rambo just ends in almost insta-death too, Makes team work / communication key !

It's funny that I like this as I never got into CS:go

Quoting: pete910Thanks for the info edddeduck, Some on phoronix was trying to figure out what OGL ver it needs.


Also, AMD GPU's seem to be running fine with the port. Well for me . Am I just lucky ? :S:

We develop using AMD (closed source drivers) as well as other drivers and we work with AMD reporting issues that we find during development. Although the game is not at a standard that we can declare official support on AMD yet many people should get a good experience it's just not quite good enough to declare official support yet. However we do hope to be able to announce official support in the future.

Thanks for the reply! ,Nice to know you are developing on AMD too, not just NV. ^_^

Quoting: pete910Well, It's fine on a 290x @ 1440p all ultra . Motion blur is off Lowest ive seen fps is 50's Normally around the 70's.
You're using the OSS driver too?

Sorry, should have stated. Cat 15.9's .

Someone on phoronix has given it a go with radeonsi iirc. Lots of miss rendered stuff.
