Audit lists two access sources to the file: "XCOM2" and "?" - the latter one presumably setting the permissions.

Quoting: scaineIt did improve. And the "WTF" was exclaimed for a reason. Steam and XCOM is of course running as "me" (and the overwritten file is again owned by "me" ). My box is actually a pretty well maintained 14.04 Ubuntu.Quoting: TuxeeWTF? Changed XComEngine.ini to bigger pool size and ThreadedShaderCompileThreshold to 2. chown'ed the file to root:root and gave it a 0755. Guess what? It got both reowned by the "me" and chmod'ed to 0770 again. How can that be? Any suggestions?The only way that should be possible is if you're running Steam as root, which would (obviously) be a terrible idea. Beyond that possibility, you have a serious flaw on your box if you're seeing root-owned files being chowned by non-root processes...
Anyway, contrary to the article my settings were not reverted - pool size is still 512 and the compile threshold still 2.
Did the game improve for you though? That's the most important thing. :D

Quoting: melkemindAddQuoting: leillo1975I have a problem: When I execute the game, It shows a window to configure resolution and other issues. When I push the button to start, the game stops in the Grid Autosport logo.Are you sure it completely installed correctly? I don't know much about NTFS, but I know some Linux Steam games won't install correctly on FAT32 partitions, something to do with symbolic links I think. Maybe NTFS is the same way?
I try in fullscreen, in a window, at 1080 and 720. I use Ubuntu 14.04.3 64bits, with Nvidia 750ti (358.16) and 16GB RAM. My steam library are located in a NTFS shared partition

Downloading... Haven't played a racing game since GT5 on my ol' PS3. Got the complete package - one can never have too many cars and tracks.

Quoting: I Need More PixelsLiving under a rock?

Pretty damn good really.Quoting: toorSo… they make you pay for wrapping those game in an emulator?You pay for the games, mostly.
Linux is holding exactly where we thought it would in the Steam Hardware Survey

Quoting: wolfyrionWell if you look the Steam TOP SELLER GAMES , you will understand why gamers are not getting a steam machine,and if you still didn't understand why, the question is very simple as it has been for ages...I always thought gaming is about playing games, not merely buying games. If you look at the most popular games on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/stats [External Link]) I'd say that at least 50% of these titles are equally available for Linux, too.
"Why to get a steam machine or install Linux if I cant enjoy playing the newest best games?"
When the 99% of the TOP games is released exclusively for Windows and if we are lucky we may see a port after some years then this is a huge NO,for every passionate gamer.

Anyway, why should we see a change when allegedly there is no survey in Big Picture mode? SteamOS machines will never see a survey and never be accounted for.

Quoting: wleoncioNot only it's a survey, it's apparently a non-random sample biased against Linux users (there are many testimonials of people never getting those surveys on their Linux partition but getting them frequently on their Windows one), so those OS percentages are probably underestimating the true percentage.Well, I can't complain. Gotten it on my Linux machines (no Windows available for comparisons) for maybe 6 or 7 times over the past 3 years.
