Would almost make you think that fixing X to work better with gsync/freesync tech would be the easier approach.

I guess its going to be one of those things Windows 10 will hold over Linux, being able to seamlessly use these adaptive sync tech in any display mode with any setup without issue. (I've tested this under Win10 btw, yes it works seamlessly)

Yes seems better to use nvidia-settings for switching modes, I was thinking of doing that.

How do you determine when to run freesync or not? are you simply turning it on in your monitor settings when needed? that would be painful for me to do! I'd just use a global env variable and flip it on and off when needed.

PS. I'm a terrible coder, basically whenever I try to do coding it comes out looking like some caveman wall paintings compared to the next persons..lol

Do you think the problem will be resolved in Xserver? how does gsync work under wayland? better?

Got it working good under Plasma5 with KWin. However XFCE manager and compton do not allow gsync to function, you can run xfce without compositor however fyi.

AND gsync doesn't support window modes nor multi monitor setups so you need to disable your other monitors before using. Just use xrandr arguments to quickly do this.

Anyway sticking with plasma for now, KCD is now surprisingly playable at 4k with gsync on my 1080ti mini card, pretty happy with that.

My arguments used for easy turning monitor on and off, and yes you can set this up to do it automatically when game launches and when the app closes.

Monitor off:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off && sleep 1 && xrandr --output DP-4 --auto && sleep 3 && nvidia-settings --load-config-only &

Monitor on:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --rotate left --right-of DP-4 && sleep 3 && nvidia-settings --load-config-only &

Iv'e put the nvidia-settings thing on the end because I had problems with gamma control resetting to defaults, doesn't appear to be a issue with Plasma?
Also the sleep is because sometimes the commands execute too fast and monitors in between switching mode has caused desktop freezes (probably xfce related tho).

PS. I hope NVIDIA pull their finger out and fix this dual/multi monitor issue with gsync, its really kind of lame because non of these issues exist for windows users!

It would have been cool if the game was survival from disaster events, not just volcanoes. That be cool survival game come to think of it.

I wonder if they will include multiple types of volcanoes, because if your studied volcanology like I have then you know there are vastly different types all have unique ways to destroy the land.

Yeah EPIC not supporting Linux on their store platform is a real bummer. Its not like it would be that hard to just make the store work under Linux and allow developers to release under Linux... They support Mac btw... seems Linux is always getting the middle finger, never changes...

is there a way to make it discover all your steam games and just at them to the list? or must you do it manually?

Iv'e caught it adding games itself sometimes but never correctly.

waiting is not such a issue since people are saying that X4 still needs some polish and balance etc..

Quoting: Guest...do you expect wine devs to roll out a red carpet instead?

I don't think Philip was trying to make contact :)
