Quoting: SslaxxPeople at id still use Linux post-Carmack, huh? Hmmm. Not that it means much, but it is interesting to note.Well, no. As pointed out, he didn't do the Linux side of it.

Quoting: darkszlufVictor Vran is not Unity and this game is by a different developer as was said by another. Just same publisher.Yeah, and Victor Vran is also Unity.I think they use their own actually, the same from Tropico 5, and the paths are completely different from the unity games which backs this assumption.
They tweaked the hell out of it, but yeah.

Quoting: rkfgThanks for confirming, so it's not the kernel weirdness or something else. I wonder why Liam didn't tell about it in the review, either his controller was unplugged or the issue only happens to some models (doubt it).I don't use a 360 controller, I use a Steam Controller or mouse and keyboard. I do not own a 360 controller to test with.

How can it help? Well, developers have another avenue to see what people are mostly running.

Quoting: OniondreamsI just realized that it would be interesting to hear more about the reasoning behind these statistics. What is their purpose? Why is it important that we collect this information? Who are they for (users, developers, etc)? How can they help improve Linux as a gaming platform? If it would be possible to write an article on this subject I would love to read it! Maybe such an article could also help motivate more people to provide their information.Reasoning: Personal interest. I spoke to others before doing it who thought it would be cool to see, so I did it. Nothing more.
Also, I love the inclusion of percentages when hovering over the bars. Very fancy! ^^

I have enabled the javascript option for the graphs, which now enables me to show the percentage in a tooltip hover thingy when you mouse over each bar, as requested by a few of you :)
I already mentioned that you will eventually be able to look at older graphs once the basics are done (pretty much there). Being able to see a graph of changes over time is another interesting thing to do too, so that's probable.

Okay: Resolution and RAM graphs fixed up with their natural sorting all correct. All others go from highest to lowest now as requested (because it makes sense).

Quoting: cprnNo, locally, i just didn't realise it wasn't working correctly for that one graph when I put it up.Quoting: liamdawe...on prod? Duuuude. :'(Quoting: z3ntuEverything under 14GB RAM is missing!Yeah working on that ATM, [...]
Quoting: Segata SanshiroI still think sorting it out by distro families is the way forward, you'd have to spend such a disproportionate amount of time to include all the most obscure distros. Hannah Montana Linux doesn't mean much to anyone except to the one person using it, so from a user statistics point of view it would be pointless to include.I prefer having it not per-family, as you don't get a decent breakdown of exactly what people are using, which is actually a major point of what I am doing here. To really see what people are using, not a broad family definition of the distro.
That's just my opinion, I know people tend to feel very strongly and want what distro they're using to be known, but from a gaming standpoint, it's somewhat irrelevant.

Quoting: ripperGraphs should be sorted in descending order, so the most used item should be on top. For example, distribution list should start with Ubuntu on top. Currently it's counter-intuitive. I'd keep current sorting for number-based graphs, like RAM or Resolution, it makes sense in those cases.I agree, I'm doing that now.
