Some initial thoughts on the Logitech Driving Force G29 Steering Wheel

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI bought my Logitech wheel just for ETS2 and it changed the entire experience for me. Suddenly the Zen amped up to 11.

Don't forget to put this into your ETS2/ATS folder. For Force Feedback support. Its amazing :)

I have a problem in ETS2 with the G25 since some time, the wheel is not centered, meaning that the truck wheels are straight when the wheel is fully turned right and so it will only turn left.

I've looked for solutions on the web, I've seen others had the same issue but didn't find something that would solve the problem.

If any of you has a clue that would be very welcome as my son really misses playing it. It works good in Dirt Rally and Grid Autosport by the way.

Looks like the Linux market share on Steam went up in January

Quoting: liamdaweTo add my own experience, on Linux I've seen the survey maybe 3 times in 3 years and yes I also saw it a lot more on Windows. I don't know what that says, I don't know their methods or how they do their sampling.

I shall continue to talk to developers to see their sales stats, sadly the latest round of emails and social messages has resulted in zero developers replying. Shall continue until some do for part 6 of my sales stats articles.

My experience has been different, I got the survey each time I installed a distro from scratch (even got it once after upgrading Mint to a newer version) or when I changed some hardware. I also got it last week out of the blue :)

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

I just read that Dragon Ball FighterZ is developped under Unreal Engine, that's a game I'd like to have on Linux !

What I'm missing most of my Windows days is the Battlefield franchise, although I guess EA would not let a 3rd party port it.

Otherwise any recent street racing game, either arcarde (like Need for Speed) or simulation (like Asseto Corsa).

I really loved the different Advance Wars episodes on the Game Boy Advance and DS, I'll probably get this one if it translates well on desktop :)

Quoting: g000hAnd it's out... with a 10% discount: Steam purchase page

But... spent over £60 on Black Friday game sales, ack.... giving in, giving in...


EDIT:

And now it is bought and in my Steam game collection. Note - For a better discount, can get the bundle.

Yes, got an additional 10% discount via the bundle. Nice of the dev for owners of their previous game ^_^

There's a 10% discount for the launch of the game, 8.99 is a steal ;)

Really liked the first one, I'll definetely get this one too :)

SteamOS is still alive with a new Beta, although it's a rather uninteresting one

I'm placing some hope in the Atari Console and also in the new Intel CPU with AMD graphics, that could be a package for compact and standarized Steam Machines....

Get ready to become a neural detective as 'Observer' is now on Linux, AMD not supported

Quoting: jensThis is not what I said or implied to say. What I said was: _If_ you are angry or complaining that this game is unsupported on your graphic card, _then_ it seems you bought the wrong card. Please note the difference.

Still is an ambiguous wording ^^

Quoting: jensPS: Don't you think that there is a lot of complaining and anger between the lines in a lot of comments in both threads about this title?

I can understand that people feel frustrated about not being able to play a game they might like to play. We already have a first "segragation" whith games not available for "our" OS, then when the game is available for said OS and it's only available for those with hardware X or Z there can be complaints. While some will patiently wait and buy the game if/when it works on AMD cards (which is quite probable) others will make a loud statement that they will never buy it. Same with these saying they will never buy from Humble again because they've been bought by evil although nothing changed so far. There are pragmatics and revolutionaries, to each his own :D
