Quoting: KelsI wonder if it does the wrong monitor/shuts off other monitor trick that the original did for me. I had to run it windowed, which isn't actually optimal for this sort of game.

Remastered definitely has improved window handling. I'm getting the AMDGPU issues mentioned, but I can at least alt+tab in and out of the game now, and it hasn't resized my monitors at all. So far (when the AMDGPU issues get fixed), this will be enough to let me play the game all the way through for once.

Quoting: Doc AngeloI'm not sure what "Ashes of the Benchmark" means.

It's pretty commonly accepted among Windows/PCMR types that no one actually plays this game for the gameplay. It has a VERY robust built in benchmark tool, so EVERYONE buys the game just to run the benchmark, similar to how everyone runs Firestrike.

However, since it's built first as a game, any claims against synthetic benchmarks where someone wants to dismiss the scores and say "oh a real game isnt like that, reals games don't do XYZ" are less valid.

Quoting: qptain NemoIf this lead is correct, then I can see two possible prominent themes in the song that wouldn't be too insanely cryptic to reference: a red-haired woman and disappearance.

red-haired woman -- Triss
disappearnce -- Ciri

Witcher 3?

KSP has an already active modding community, which the developer has now given a big boost thanks to the Mission Builder

Take Two changed the EULA to claim they own any and all mods made for the game. They also now state that you can only have 1 downloaded copy of the game ever, so people that like to have copies of different game versions (for archival, or mod compatibility, since the "active" mod community doesn't always update their mods to the latest release, so people still playing on older versions just for mods is actually super common) are technically breaking the rules.

This seemed like a really big thing right when the DLC dropped, and now I can't find any reference to it. Maybe it was people misunderstanding the EULA, or maybe it just got hushed up, but I would say that if people care about EULA's and rights and stuff, they should look into it before buying.

Edit: Found some stuff, it seems that some people are claiming the wording was just changed by Take Two but means the same thing (they get full usage rights to user generated content uploaded to their services, which is quite a bit less threatening). But as always, be aware that the EULA has changed, if you care about those sorts of things.

Does steam VR have all the abstraction in it that will allow my Oculus Dev Kit 2 to work, or do I need a Vive for this to work?

SteamVR is supposed to abstract things where I could technically use my rift DK2 and razer hydra for this right? I really like VR (enough to get a dev kit) but I'm not sure I can warrant getting another (finished) headset considering there's quite limited support.

"You don't need to buy the Overkill Edition. The two new DLCs will be available for purchase from our Victor Vran Steam Store page."

I'm reading that as "Existing owners dont need to buy the FULL new edition, because the DLC will be available separately for purchase" ie - overkill is base game + 2 DLC.. so just buy the 2 DLC.

Can anyone confirm/deny that current owners will get the DLC free? I enjoyed this game and will be playing it either way, but I dont think its going to be free.

Ironically, the freezes are now longer and occur more often for me. (rx480 + amdgpu + mesa 13.0.4 on 4.9.7 kernel). Maybe thats just coincidence since all the games Ive been joining lately Ive been getting dropped in during a goal instant replay. which runs smooth after a small hiccup, and then when the countdown to kickoff starts, the game freezes until 5-10 seconds after kickoff. and then inevitably someone rage quits because they got scored on, and the game freezes another 5-10 seconds. So it might not be "worse", but the freezes are still definitely there.

Do I need mesa 17, or kernel 4.10, or is this just not actually shipped everywhere yet? `find -mtime -7` seems to indicate no files in the rocket league folder have changed in the past week on my machine :(

Quoting: EikeInteresting stuff about it from developers, commented by TotalBiscuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPUToCNq-iA [External Link]
One thing he mentions is that you only need one copy of a game to initiate an avalanche of illegal copies, and that it doesn't really matter if that one is refunded or not.

Every point I heard him make was either "this could happen anyway" or "it's not actually statistically relevant" or "if you make bad games, you should give people their money back"

I have 2 of these (you can get them dirt cheap!).

I was having kernel freezes playing Shadow Warrior. Someone pointed out that there was an xinput issue with an unofficial patch that fixed it (as the person was having the same issue in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel).

He pointed me to https://steamcommunity.com/app/233130/discussions/0/611702631210587760/ [External Link] which pointed me to http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg31446.html [External Link] "it's a kernel-patch for xpad that is supposed to fix crash that come from too much rumbling-requests." This is from may2014 and was still an issue as of last month, so I can only presume it hasnt been merged anywhere yet. My solution was to unplug my controllers anytime I play a game that doesnt explicitly require them (and as such, I've become less likely to play games that need a controller, because Im lazy).

Great controllers, but be aware that certain games in linux don't mix well with controllers.
