Quoting: GuestIs there an option to make the background not white?

Yes, from the article:

Quoting: meIt has three different colour modes if you find the black on white too harsh on your eyes. You can invert the black and white (to have a black background) and also have a sepia mode, if either makes it a better experience.

Quoting: liamdaweDo you really need to be so pedantic? You know what I meant.

I didn’t at first – my initial thought after reading this sentence was “11 % of Linux gamers? That sounds like about a half of AMD users. Cannot be true, has to be much less.” Only after I checked the stats myself, I understood you indeed mean AMD Linux gamers, not all of them.

Either way, I've made it a little clearer :)

Quoting: silmeth

Our own statistics have users telling us that only around 11% of Linux gamers use the proprietary AMD driver.

Not true.

According to your own statistics only 11.44 % of AMD Linux users use proprietary drivers. And as only 21.25 % Linux gamers use AMD GPUs, it is only 2.43 % of Linux gamers that use AMD proprietary drivers. ;-)

Do you really need to be so pedantic? You know what I meant.

Quoting: FaalagornHave you considered adding this to GOL Wiki Liam? It would be helpful to have an editable page later on, especially when this article gets old :)

Good thinking batman. I've opened a Wiki page as this will likely vanish after a while.

@Mora, you're running the 64bit Talos right? It only works on that as far as I know.

Quoting: tomaszgDid you include "Buffers and cache" size for your calculation of total RAM used? For example for War Thunder I get around 4.5GB used (while the game is minimised) and additional 5.5GB used for cache. This extra memory is also important from the point of view of performance.

Since Linux memory management is quite complicated at the best of times, this was a simple test using system monitors to check total listed RAM use. Going through virtual, shared, cache and so on is a bit out of our scope and current knowledge.

Yes, ~7 years after release I have finally finished it.

Wait, was 2004 7 years ago?!

Oh my, must have looked at a wrong date somewhere, fixed.

Quoting: GuestSomeone gave me boxed version of that game when it came out and I never got around to installing it. I wonder if the serial would work for Steam.

From what I understand, it should work fine. If it doesn't I've also heard contacting Steam with proof, they will gift you it :)

Quoting: KimyrielleHuh? Since when do new Paradox titles not come to Linux? They ported all their recent stuff, no? oO

They are only the publisher.

Quoting: KorhakaSo is it confirmed the game will not be on Linux? Or just that it has not been confirmed to be coming to Linux. I had hopes this would as Wargame was on Linux, and this looks like Wargame: WW2, although on a smaller scale.

As stated in the update, it is not coming.

Quoting: Colombowhat does it mean "turn based combat with real time base-building elements"? To me it sounds like one of those web games.

Battles will be turn-based, but you build your base in real time like and RTS. Exactly how it sounds, but I haven't played it yet to be 100% clear. Will wait for a key.

Well, thank you for repeating what you already wrote, and what I wrote, without bringing any new information.

Well, what did you expect exactly? :huh:

You asked an open question, I answered it ;)
