Quoting: slaapliedjeFunny thing I always find is that most games on non-dos platforms usually ran at 50/60 frames per second (depending on PAL/NTSC).

TBF, when running on NTSC or PAL you have to process a half of the resolution for each frame.

Quoting: GuestI always found 30fps acceptable for pretty much anything - so long as it's a steady 30fps, without wavering much. Of course back in that era of gaming I was using a ball mouse, and they weren't quite as responsive as today's optical tech. Strangely enough I've also never played Quake.

Just out of curiosity, does red hat from then come with tux racer? Not sure if that was mentioned in a previous post, so forgive me if it was.

And this kind of article is one reason I like working on *nix systems - I do find the scripting of commands to get something running so much nicer to handle compared to windows. Switching in & out of fullscreen though, I seem to recall that not being the most stable operation in the world, before compositors and borderless fullscreen windows. The GNU/Linux graphics stack has come a very long way (they have on every OS I suppose).

Quoting: FrawoOh no, Web Browsers default to Windows? I didn't know that and now my pile of shame mostly consists of Web Browser purchases. Damn...

I remember this differently as well...

Just to make sure, I install every new game and start it up.
(That's also useful to make sure it actually runs.)

So I wonder what it counts as if you buy it in the Android App?

Pretty sure that's already covered - Windows.

Quoting: Liam DaweTo clear it up we have the info on the Steam Tracker:

When buying games from Steam, how is the desktop platform counted? From what Valve told us (February 2020), they first take the desktop Steam client platform used to buy it, then whatever has the most playtime in two weeks. However, Android and Web Browser purchases default to Windows and then what has the most playtime in two weeks. If you want to ensure developers see a Linux sale: play it only on Linux in the first two weeks, don't buy it and leave it.

Yep, as above, emphasis mine.

Quoting: jarhead_hCheapest it's ever been? Great. So just as soon as I can buy a 5900X & 6800XT to replace the 2600 & GTX1060 currently plugged into my X570, and then the Valve Index, I'll buy it. Oh, and that's AFTER I can afford to replace my Android phone with a Librem 5.

And all of than is after I have an income again. 2021 sucks.

Quoting: CyrilFeral being the developer of the three versions, that could help to release the game on GOG with Linux/macOS?
Let me dream

Technically it could. But interestingly, the publisher is now listed as SEGA where other ports also listed Feral as publisher for mac/linux. So it would seem to be up to SEGA.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleHmmm, with or without ray tracing support?

Yes, that is the number one question. Does it come with ray tracing and DLSS ?
Otherwise, I almost gave up waiting, resisted buying it until now. Finally, here it comes !

There is no DLSS on linux sadly, ray tracing is possible tho.

Quoting: EikeI just looked up if Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is part of the sale, too.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (personal favourite!) - 50% off

Sometimes, should read the article first. :D
So I'll just add my recommendation for this game here.
(Didn't try it remote, though.)

Quoting: aokamiI worked on the main menu for this. :grin:

Quoting: KohlyKohlI will buy this as soon as I can find a 30 series card. So, I guess I'll be getting this in 2022.

Ha, seriously. The 'perfect storm' of bullshit has hit us computer nerds, where all the new cards are being bought up by mining farms, or they're bought by people who think they can just double/triple the MSRP. Even the 20 series are marked ultra high...

It's a perfect storm, but it's more than just miners and scalpers. Some interesting insight from Linux Tech Tips on this subject from two days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A4yk-P5ukY [External Link]

Back on topic - this is an immediate insta-buy for me, even at full price. I loved the first two games, although they have their (minor) flaws. Can't wait to play this!

Yeah, watched that yesterday. Linus... I mistype it as Linux too ha! Yeah with chip shortages too. It's freaking nuts.

I've been looking forward to this game as well, though I still need to win the first one!

I constantly call that channel Linux Tech Tips. I know it's Linus. My fingers don't. :grin:
