I'm getting framerate drops on my 970. I even have it installed on my solid state drive, still not a constant framerate.

Rocket League facing a delay for the SteamOS & Linux version, no 2015 release (updated)

I can't blame them, it will probably give them more income right now, but I do wish developers would stop promising one platform, then side-lining it for another.
If that's their actual reason for delaying it, I certainly can blame them. They've already made $50 million [External Link] on this game. If greed is their only motivation, then they're not very honorable.

I'm hoping the reason is, like most good games that get delayed, they need more time to polish it rather than releasing something that is buggy and half-working.

Gabe can't be happy with this news. I wonder if they have some kind of contract with Valve that gave them a deadline.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read this. That would've been a mess. This is pretty amazing considering they're not even making an Xbox One version. I almost feel sorry for Microsoft...nah!

Quoting: eigensinnigA question to those who already bought the bundle: Is it possible to play the roms with other emulator than the provided? I am thinking of mame.
Yes, the roms are freely available in the install directory, and they work with other emulators.

GRID Autosport released for Linux & SteamOS, port report, video and review included

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Is it better yo go high settings with no/low MSAA/FA/AA etc... Or drop to medium with that smoothing?
I tend to use custom settings to get the best performance. Some things can be on high like "anisotropic filtering" and have very little performance impact, whereas setting something like "shadows" or "anti-aliasing" to high can severely drop performance. Tweak it to find the sweet spot or look for an online guide. Just keep in mind that performance is going to be quite a bit lower than what those guides report on Windows, so you'll still need to tweak it to your comfort zone.

Quoting: TobiSGDYes! Now please Dirt Rally also!
If Codemasters porting this game, I see no reason why they wouldn't do Dirt Rally as well.

You look very happy in your profile pic. :D

By the way, for anyone who wants to know, this game works great with a Steam controller. I haven't had a chance to try the gyro yet, but I might give it a go this weekend.
