It's not that I just feel no compassion for Windows slaves. The thing is I'm amused every time they post their win10 update stories.

OMG. It's been like 5 minutes that I'm looking for info to make some sense out of this DLC teaser. Then I finally land on Paradox forums and I realize that it's called "plantoids" and not "planetoids". XD

I'm starting to think that Valve has a size problem. It's projects are to ambitious for the limited manpower they have.

My last game was pretty heavy.
I spawned in a galaxy arm with birdmen on the right and a lot of expansion space on the left.
I thought I was in the perfect spot and I started expanding.
Sadly, unbeknown to me on the upper arm there was an militant isolationist empire who gently offered to cross the empty space, exterminate all my colonies and humiliate me.
And here I thought the Vogons were assholes XD

Ironic how the DLC business model created to rip customers of their money ultimately ends with them making less earnings.

Quoting: Mountain ManAt any rate, if Firaxis' last few Civ games (Civ 4, Civ 5, and Beyond Earth) are any indication, Civ 6 won't be worth buying until at least the first expansion.Sad but true. I might even wait 2 expansions. And we're not alone, all civ fanatics knows this to well.

Shit. I started in a place with no minerals and I had my starting fleet butchered by a nearby un-contacted empire in my own system.
I thought I was going to play as a little vassal, but lucky me I found 4 advanced ships on an 2 abandoned shipyards and then nobody seemed to bother about colonizing a nearby mineral-rich system.
I'm still on the weak side for the time being, but I'm back in game.

I got it from imperial games some days ago and they released the keys today around midday. Maybe the other stores have released them too?

Quoting: melkemindYeah, you're right. I found some articles claiming that. For my part I confirm that tressfx kills my 660ti as well. For the rest the game is supersmooth and enjoyable as it were when it came out on Windows so I don't really care. Very good job Feral!Quoting: MalI think they did make a few patches to improve performance, but Nvidia probably also made driver changes to accommodate it. It wouldn't be surprising to learn those accommodations never made it into the Linux drivers.Quoting: omer666TressFX just kills my GTX660. Other than this it seems to run pretty well on Ultra, I'll see if it stays playable.If I remember correctly TressFX is AMD tech and it used to kill fps on NVIDIA cards also when TR came out. A lot of time has passed since then. Did they change the tech to work well on NVIDIA cards as well? Otherwise I would say it's expected behavior (regardless of OS). I'll give a try too now.

For what it matters my download is stuck too.
I remember buying the game a few months after the original release. I had just build my rig back then (a dream came true thanks to my first salaries :) ) and this game was already on a 75% steam sale. It was just asking to be bought in order to put my graphic card to the test.
The game is not very challenging imho but the visual were stunning. I finished it 100% in like 3 days during Easter holidays and then I never played it again (also because a few months later I lost my temper for the last time and I deleted the windows partition for good :D).
