Yeah, I saw that post. Funny thing is, those udev rules are only installed if you download the drivers for them, and compile / install. But I think there is a bug in the version I have anyhow, seems I am constantly double typing characters (especially the space bar.) I need to see if I can find the bug and fix it.

This game is a son of a bitch. I mean that in a good way, but still.... There is definitely a bit of grind to it, unless you're REALLY good.

There is a bug though (more I guess due to my hardware than anything). It detects my Roccat Tyon as a game controller, so when I bring up the map, it scrolls all the way up. The fix for now is just unplugging the mouse.

Evolve was pretty fun, we had a LAN party at work with it when it came out, and indeed they ruined it so we didn't play it again after that.

I am dying for Star Citizen to finally be released. In the meantime, I wish Elite: Dangerous would pick up Vulkan support...

This game is AWESOME! Played quite a bit of it earlier today. Though the cartoon character feels slightly (only slightly) out of place. But it seems to me this is very much a Flashback style game, though quite a bit larger, I'm guessing. Really reminds me of flashback.

Quoting: slaapliedjeCould be worse. Playstation Store REQUIRES you to save your CC info. Steam has a nice little 'don't save'. First few times I bought something through the PS Store, I ended up adding my card, then removing it right afterward. Now I just buy a card through Amazon and redeem it there. I don't do that often, but occasionally games like Polybius comes along... and if you haven't played that, please do! Need to ping Jeff Minter and request Linux version for it once his Sony exclusivity deal ends...

Minter's still in the biz eh? Tempest 2k was one of the few bright spots for the Atari Jaguar.

Yup, Polybius is basically Tempest2k.. in up to 4k resolution at 120fps, also in 3D and VR if you have the equipment.

I played it in 3D... Really insane.

Quoting: razing32I pre-ordered Kingdom Come , but seems they will drop Linux support . (think there were rumors of employees working without pay for a while - but nothing I could confirm at the time)

Really wondering if I should get an inkling of hope or just pull the plug on any hopes for the game coming to Linux.

I recall reading that Crytek wasn't paying their employees for like months at a time as well. Kind of weird that had some really successful games, then just sort of started disappearing. I mean if Valve didn't have Steam, with how long in between game releases, I think they'd be hurting for it as well.

Quoting: razing32Not sure how much this is great news.
I hope they don't split off into another online store.
If they just sell keys , then fine. But it's getting a mess : Steam , GOG , Origin , uPlay , Microsoft Store etc
I REALLY hope we don't end up with each bigger publisher requesting an account on THEIR service to get to play the games. :(

Agreed. I get annoyed when they think we should sign up to yet another forum to be able to play a game (or get all the features. I think Paradox does this, as does Rockstar...)

If I'm going to join your forum, I want to do it because of the community, or maybe some help. Not because I want a special avatar because I randomly decided to buy some ultimate edition, or you give me in game items because of it...

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Yeah I trust paypal more as I have had extensive financial dealings with the group that owns and operates paypal.

Valve just accept your payment through the debit system, the same exact system that every company in the world uses to accept payment, including your local vodka off-license. They don't have access to your bank account as you originally suggested.
So what exactly don't you trust about them? I am genuinely curious. ^_^

Quoting: GuestI was hoping to see Dying Light DRM-free for Linux there…

The lack of a DRM-free version is the only reason I've not bought Dying Light. It's a shame it isn't available on GOG; the Windows version is available there but for some reason the Linux version isn't :(

Yeah, I don't get why that is the case. You'd think Techland would be fine with having a DRM free Linux version if they were fine with a DRM free Windows version.

The game is awesome, I just wonder if they'll release the VR update for Vive/SteamVR in Linux.

I finally beat the Following portion, and probably would give it another playthrough in VR.

Quoting: TiedemannI must try this. I can't stand the LoL type RTS stuff :P

The landing pad thingy reminds me of Dune and some units looks like upgraded Red Alert/C&C.

I was thinking Dune 2 as well, and this reminds me, I need to try out Dune 2 on my Atari Falcon.

Your house is either a museum or a Tardis

A bit of both! Long live Atari! Probably the most impressive thing I have seen someone do on the falcon is have Quake 2 with texture mapping demo moving at more than a slide show pace.
