Quoting: slaapliedjeHotdogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades sadly don't detect the Index controllers for me, instead I see a model of the Vive controllers just floating there. Yet it works with full index controller support in Windows.

Yeah, that's the part that needs the proton update.

Things I picked up:

Apparently Proton needs an update to its OpenVR to make the Index work properly in some games. Updates are merged but not released I think.

Some games are mapped really strangely for the Index controllers. (Serious Sam for instance. An update to the game is incoming)

Even though Linux is supported, it's still a bit of work to get everything set up properly. The most annoying limitation is that it won't turn off the base stations and has me pull the power from them manually. Nothing too problematic for me as I didn't expect a fully smooth ride.

The worst thing is that my VR playing is on hold for a bit. Putting a VR headset on with 35 degrees is just not a pleasant experience.

Quoting: EhvisSo if I understand this correctly, Epic paid 30M to get the largest prize pool. Then Valve earned 90M to beat them again?

120M in that case.

No, 30M is for the prize pool.

A while ago I played a not so high ranked match with someone to fill a group. It was pretty funny. I the whole match I never saw anyone shoot me. :D Obviously I never had a chance to get a single kill in. Second match was a little better. I managed about 5 kills! Not exactly matching up to the 30+ kills of my silver ranked team mates.

Back to casual Danger Zone for me. :P

Quoting: soulsourceI'm still sad that the English translation "Longstockings" has such a cumbersome word-melody. As an Austrian I grew up with the German version, "Langstrumpf", which is pretty close to the Swedish original "Långstrump", both having a much smoother sound to them.

I had the same experience with the Dutch translation, which is "Langkous". Which has a very different sound to the second half, but it's still a two syllable word which flows nicely. (note that the ou sounds close to the o in "now")

There are tons of point and clicks that made it onto Linux. I'm now playing the new "Irony Curtain" one, which is fantastic. Also don't forget that there is a remaster of the classic "Day of the Tentancle". There's also a remaster of the old Full Throttle, but that one didn't really appeal to me.

As for this game, it doesn't really look like it is the best one, but for the price I may actually give it a go.

Quoting: EhvisAnd AMD is doing the same thing. They open the trivial stuff, but keep other things they think are important. Like the actual shader compiler of the AMD driver.

They are companies, they do what suits them. AMD is no more ethical than NVidia is.

They might do what "suits them", but when it's anti-competitive junk, I don't get why Linux users jump to whitewash it.

Because if the roles were reversed and nvidia would be playing catch up, AMD would be no different. It's simple business. The only thing that matters is that it is preferable to have open support for hardware. Which is a bandwagon I will step on when support is complete. Unfortunately, things open source can also take a lot of time.

Quoting: GuestNot really, but it seems like it does have quite a few disadvantages.

What kind? The only reason Nvidia is not opening their driver is anti-competitive. I.e. they want leverage over server market. Are you whitewashing such kind of behavior? What Nvidia doing is disgusting, and not something Linux users should be accepting.

And AMD is doing the same thing. They open the trivial stuff, but keep other things they think are important. Like the actual shader compiler of the AMD driver.

Quoting: omer666To be fair, Quake had an awesome modding community which gave birth to both Capture the Flag and class-based TDM, but Valve had the idea to actually support this community by distributing a great number of them.

Wasn't the Quake modding community just a continuation of the Doom one? Even the first Doom had support for PWADs, which was basically id software enabling modding support from the start.
