I've been playing Pillars of Eternity The White March. It's quite fun, and I really like the new companions in the DLC. I have yet to finish Pillars of Eternity, and I have logged over 100 hours but I'm the kind of guy who play RPG as a competitionist, if the content is good of course.

Quoting: AryvandaarCan you take a look in the BIOS for iommu options for me?

I looked at the Bios and there is indeed options for IOMMU. Enabled, Disabled, and Auto settings.

Cheers, thanks comrade!

Quoting: Joeyboots80:D Just got my parts today and have my new rig put together! Ryzen r7 1700, 16GB DDR4 2666, and an Asrock Fatality AM4 Gaming K4 mobo. Everything booted up fine and sound works fine! System seems to be running smooth and processes seem to be spreading across cores properly. No problems so far with normal usage, I will test some games tomorrow. I will most likely make a forum post about it. Cheers everyone! ^_^

Looks like an interesting game, but I'm not pledging to any more games on the promise that it will be released on Linux. When it releases for Linux I will consider buying it.

I heard that the motherboards on Razer laptops have some serious flaws that break them.

Quoting: STiATGrr, not even done with Tyranny yet...

But cool!

I have BG2 to play first, and then finish PoE after BG2. Finished Tyranny some time ago.

We might have to start asking developers to put a hold on supporting linux, just so we get a chance to finish games....

Nonsense. Just add the game to your never ending backlog! :P

I tried this game for a few minutes (but can't really play games before the weekend). Managed to kill my character in the intro.

Got an achievement for it. :D

Quoting: DuckeenieThe link you provided was interesting but requires a little context - That feature is disabled by default so nothing more than an option for anyone who needs it. No fire here!

Yes I know. However, knowing Microsft they will probably enable it by default. And the glaring problem with it is advertising Windows store as safe and other win32 apps as not safe. Which is bullshit if it's not coming from an anti-virus / anti-malware software.

Do you guys remember when Microsoft forced apps onto users systems in an anniversary update? Candy crush, and a lot of other junk that was on several hundreds of mb each.

I'm not of the idea that Microsoft is the only scummy company out there, but Microsoft is definitely among of the ones I have least respect for, despite what they have done for open source recently.

Quoting: DuckeenieMoving on to your response to my point...I think you're letting your fondness for the support Valve have given to Linux cloud your judgement. GOG for example is full of people who don't want Steam. A huge part of the Linux user-base is anti proprietary by definition and therefore don't want Steam. I don't know the exact figures but a huge percentage of AAA titles are ONLY available on Steam. If I can only buy a game on one service that IS lock-in.

I'm not fond of Steam or Valve to the point of fandom. I do however appreciate the things that they have done, but I critique them for doing things I disapprove of, like steam greenlight handling, games saturation, paid mods system, drm and so on. It's also worth noting that there are Steam games that don't require Steam to run.

I did say that people want Steam, which is true for many people (looking at the huge Steam user base), I didn't say that all want Steam. Which is something that I can completely understand, as I buy games from GOG whenever I can.

Quoting: DuckeenieNow just to add some perspective I LIKE Steam and use it all the time but then I'm far too old to start a revolution and the only lock-in I care about these days is down at my local pub.

In my case, it's a consideration between happiness or principles. Most of the games on GOG are indie titles and mid-mainstream, which are titles that I usually don't enjoy, so buying games on Steam is something I won't stop myself doing. I do buy Linux games almost all the time. It's only rarely that I buy Windows only titles, and I do have a pretty large Library on Steam, many of those I have yet to complete.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat's the difference? All I'm getting is a sort of parochial refusal to deal with things too far outside one's frame of reference.

At this point I think we should just let it rest. I have my point of view, which I've explained thoroughly. You have your point of view, which you have explained.
