Feral Interactive have released an open source tool that’ll help get the most performance out of Linux games

Quoting: mt7479Seems to not really work at least on xenial. Cant't see anything happening when checking the unit with journalctl. scaling_governor always stays at powersave.

Maybe a stupid question, do i need to replace %command% with the actual binary when running this from steam ?
No, the %command% bit replaces whatever command/binary is used to start the respective steam game.

Quoting: wvstolzing
Quoting: KetilYou can setup sudo to work without password for certain commands even if they are written in bash. I prefer that over setuid.
## In sudoers, edited with visudo
myuser ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/mysudocommand
Yeah I was about to ask whether you could define a Cmnd_Alias for a shell script in sudoers to then add a NOPASSWD exception; but this approach seems to be even simpler. Does it have to come at the end of the sudoers file though?

... sorry about the off-topic spam, though.
From what I understood it has to be the last line in order to take precedence. Or place it in /etc/sudoers.d in a separate file.

The Signal From Tolva has a free expansion with a new Polar Region to explore

Quoting: GustyGhostIf anything, this game does not need more land. It was boring enough that I couldn't force myself to finish. Signal from Tolva feels less like a game and more like a game engine sample project. Sorry to be so negative.
I can definitely see it not being everyone's cup of tea. But oh yes, it needs moar land, I explored every corner of the map and still want more. Something in this game is strangely addictive.
Sorry to be so positive :)

One of the most beautiful graphics I've seen in a while, not in the Everspace spectacular way, but rather a in more Borderlands-esque style. Space ships/weapons/artifacts design for example, I can't really put a finger on it, but is really a stylish game.
It indeed finished rather abruptly leaving me wanting for more, I guess my wish was granted.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is now officially out with day-1 Linux support

Tried to buy the game directly from their Beamdog client, but you end up buying from their site. Any idea if they track Linux sales this way?

Hope the sales will be good, because if Feral is doing well, we're doing well.

Quoting: GuestWe tried the FAQ thing when we had the Github issue tracker, people just ignored it and continued to parrot the same old shit that has been bandied about since Witcher 2.
Still a good idea though.
It would useful to have a "Debunking myths about wrapped games, FAQ, whatever" article in a place with good exposure (maybe even here on GOL wiki, Liam?) where such myths that keep popping up can be explained/clarified one by one.

I've seen over time some interesting discussions and insights/details about this from VP and even Feral, but they are now long forgotten, buried in some old GOL or reddit topic.

Some folks will keep complaining most likely, but at least you'd have a place to address their concerns (please read this and that), instead of keep replying the same thing over and over again.

Lovecraftian horror game 'Conarium' officially released for Linux

Taken by surprise by this, and boy, does it look good or what...
And even with my old now GTX 780 I can play at max settings with occasional drops to 50 something fps. Also Vsync does kill a bit the performance here, better use a frame limiter.
But anyway, looks awesome.
