Quoting: Spl-it

Quoting: nspacestdVSync doesn't seem to work properly in 2033, not even by forcing it in the nVidia control panel. I've found a workaround [External Link] in the Arch Wiki that seems to fix the issue by forcing VSync at driver level but I'd like to know if anyone else is having the same problem.
Other than that it runs quite well at very high settings (2x SSAA).
I'm on Arch, with Cinnamon and nVidia GTX 770 (proprietary drivers).

I'm using KDE's own Tearing Prevention (Vsync), works like a charm. I disable Vsync in all my games and just let KDE handle it.

Thanks, I'll try that

Quoting: HadBabitsWhat has everyone been using to benchmark fps? Glxosd produces black boxes in Metro Redux for some reason.

For Steam games I'm using voglperf. Metro redux also has a benchmark function.

Wow this is awesome! One of my favourite games ever! Too bad I've already finished it on Windows...

But I'll definitely play it again when it comes out for Linux.

Quoting: mastereduHow they make money or profit out of this?

They create an account for you on a website of them, and spam you for 30 days. its called playfire. theres no option to not get onto this webpage, they setup an account for you.

Now on this page, you have to stay for 30 days, or they can remove your free game:

Oh wow... they have the right to spam me for 30 days >_> Please note, for those that have redeemed a game in our promotion, as part of our terms and conditions, we reserve the right to deactivate your free game upon deactivation/unlink of your Playfire/Steam account within 30 days of this promotion. https://playfire.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles [External Link]/202035889-Golden-Joysticks-Account-Deactivation-Requests-

What a bunch of a*****les.

Disclaimer: I already own both XCOM games so I haven't really looked into this, I might be missing something.
But why can't you simply create an email account, register with that and forget about it?

Well someone should remove the link to the steam page since it just says "Error" now that the game has been pulled.
