Quoting: GrazenThis game is already too hardcore for noobs like me and it technically hasn't even been released yet :-(

Honestly, this is the first time I've properly tried to play it and it's surprisingly easy to get to grips with.

I played it once, spawned as a female, was attacked by a group yelling "rape her, rape her, rape her", and was killed. I exited the game and returned it for a refund.

Ya public servers are terrible. I never play on them. Ran into a few people already on this server and everyone has been nice. This is going to be great fun! I am building a base for looks not defence since I am sure this server will not be filled with greifers.

Quoting: WorMzyIf it gets you a steam key, you can use steamcmd to download the data files.

#   1. Start steamcmd
#   2. At the Steam> prompt, run:
#                   @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType "windows"
#   3. (optionally) Set the preferred download location with
#                   force_install_dir /path/to/dir
#   4. Log in to your account using:
#                   login your-steam-username
#   5. Download the game files by running:
#                   app_update 7760
#   6. Exit steamcmd:
#                   quit

If you are using an Arch-based distro, you can then use openxcom-data-steam [External Link] (shameless plug) to package the data files up and install them with pacman. Or just copy them manually to where they need te be (/usr/share/openxcom/data for openxcom 1.0, or /usr/share/openxcom/UFO for current git)

Thank you. This worked well and I look forward to trying x-com. I have heard a lot about it but never played.

NICE!

I will not be joining the crowdfunding but I will buy it once it is released on Linux. I just started playing Pillars of Eternity this week for the first time and it is really good.

Quoting: ExpalphalogYou guys always make me feel so dumb.

I run Mint with Cinnamon and have not hit a single issue with anything. But I admittedly don't understand most of the words or acronyms in this entire comment section. Thankfully for me, the days of needing to be a computer genius to run Linux are over.

So yeah, consider me to be that guy sitting in the corner nodding politely and occasionally interjecting with improperly timed generic platitudes.

You sound just like I did not long ago. In my personal experience with Linux, mind you I am not a pro and have a lot to learn. Learning to install Arch the Arch way taught me a lot about Linux. The wiki and community are fantastic resources. I recommend giving it a try. You will quickly be talking like a pro. I have never tried Antergos but it looks great.

I don't pay attention to what Steam says. But in my personal life I had more people ask me about Linux in 2016 than any year before. That is a big sign for me when people ask me on their own.

Very nicely laid out. Looking forward to the results. This is fun!

Seen games I have never played before, will be looking some of them up.

Quoting: Nor MantisLove this game. 600+ hours played, performance could be better but runs pretty good on my 960 everything on high, The only time I get serious FPS hit is when I fly into my huge base, masive walled off compound with a metal pyramid built over water, and many captured dinos in it. There are graphical glitches as mentioned already. Usually turn shadows and bloom off in caves using in game terminal command solves it. But nothing game breaking. The devs have won my trust, in my opinion have done a fantastic job. The game keeps getting better and better.

Can you please share the terminal commands you're speaking of? I would really appreciate it....

This is off the top of my head but here are some helpful ones.

console = press tab
r.shadowquality 0
r.bloomquality 0
r.lightshafts 0

every time you relog it resets back to default.
