You will need to update your udev rules for the Steam Controller

Quoting: tmtvlWait a minute... "sudo gedit"? That shouldn't work. Unless you've got sudo aliased to xdg-su, kdesu, gksu, or something like that.
It has always worked for as long as I can remember.

Quoting: iniudanWish I could help, but broke myself. What little money I can put on the side, away from hungry student loans, is part of the fund I call "keeping me sane, so I don't end up in the psychiatric ward," as I got anxiety problem, which can easily degenerate into depression.
No problem at all, please don't in any way feel forced or bad for not being able to do so :)

To everyone: Thank you again :)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhen you said "thanks to the game store itch" I thought you meant some kind of gamer condition where you get a yen to rummage around in game stores. :D
Hey doc, got anything for this gamer itch?

Quoting: RedfaceThanks for the info. Could you maybe add that this is for Steam beta only for now?
Done.

Quoting: GuestI want to pay. I really, really want to pay. But you see I'm committed to not paying for Windows/wine/eOn games (paying people to work hard to avoid making Linux games). And so I'm conflicted about paying for a site that so supportive of them.
I get that Wine and eON are hot topics at the best of times and I don't want to end up in a big wall of text about this (as I could go on all day).

I understand everyone has things that they don't like and I fully appreciate your openness on this.

Quoting: GuestIs it possible to make one-time donations?
I think Patreon allows you to cancel at any time, so you could donate for 1 month, then remove. I think. But you'd have to keep an eye on it yourself to cancel things at the right time.
Yep that works for me too :)

Quoting: GuestIs it possible to make one-time donations?
Not usually no, it may not seem it but it creates extra admin time (taxes and so on) to properly log individual donations than it does a lump sum from Patreon.

Thank you for the support everyone :)!

Total War: WARHAMMER released for Linux, port report and video
23 Nov 2016 at 3:56 pm UTC

Quoting: 0aTTHere is a good video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozhXDhGozqA [External Link]

Even with a GTX 1070 the Game can't hold the 30 fps line. For me it's a riddle why all claim it would run with 60 fps on a GTX 970. Is there a video to prof this?

I can't believe this after what I know from ATTILA. ATTILA has on my GTX 970 system a similar performance as Warhammer in the above video. And what's really crazy: Whenever the fps rate breaks sharply, the GPU utilization breaks also. This also happens when I play at the lowest level. I have a i7 6700k CPU. With other games I never witnessed such behavior.

There must be a bottle neck somewhere. I love the Total War series and will buy Warhammer anyway. But it's a little bit frustrating to know that the performance will not increase even I update to a GTX 1070.
For one thing, he's using a driver that has known performance issues. The 357 driver has some real issues it needs to be fixed. See some more info here [External Link].

Two: Here's my livestream from the release day on my 980ti where you can see it first-hand performing well https://www.twitch.tv/gamingonlinux/v/102731096 [External Link] (that was with me playing it on Ultra + the overhead from livestreaming).

Quoting: BelarriusIt's like Starcraft no?
Seems to resemble it a little, but it's hard for an RTS not to nowadays as it's so well known.

Quoting: liamdaweIs there a way to post content to diaspora from PHP?
I don't know. Unfortunately I'm not a web dev. But there's feedDiasp [External Link]. It might feel a bit clunky feeding posts via RSS to diaspora but at least it AlwaysWorks(TM). :D
Sweet will look at it after the livestream.
