Quoting: RickAndTiredPerformance is much worse in the native port (over 100fps difference for me). Also most workshop maps don't work in the native port.

Workshop support isn't fully implemented sure, but 100fps sounds like an insane difference; I have a tweaked ini file for rocket league which coupled with using __gl_threaded_optimizations gives me ~200 (150-250) fps in a match on ancient hardware (i5-750, 980), if you want to try my ini let me know.

I think one more thing that's worth noting, at some point soon (before the end of the year, maybe with the upcoming patch in december?) this game will move to the epic store. It will no longer be purchasable on steam however it will remain available to those who already own it. Obviously we know epic store has no linux client, and so will probably not offer a linux purchase for it. So who knows what will happen. This is a darn good game though, and if you're on the fence about it then you should probably strike before it's gone on steam, because at that point, who knows, you might not ever be able to get it again.

Wow this looks like it will be amazing fun!

I think this solution is a really good one, but if you want any particular black market explosions or decals for cheap you should probably acquire them now before the update hits, because more than likely psyonix will make the cost of crafting a black market item more expensive than most can be acquired for at this time.

Quoting: no_information_hereThen why is this line in the update?

I'm probably just misunderstanding what it does in that case.

Quoting: no_information_hereI like that it will enable the steam overlay for the controller without forcing me into big picture mode.

It's always done that for me previously :s

I don't begrudge anyone use of the new interface, but it's kind of dickish of them to completely remove access to the old one; I run steam with -no-browser which gives me the old-style chat, I could not view the store, profiles, community corners, forums or anything because that all needed the browser (which is entirely fine by me, if I ever needed that I'd just load up steampowered.com in a proper browser which was a lot more speedy than the steam client itself anyway), but the library was fine, it stood on its own, I could see my entire library even without the browser part turned on. But with the restart this is gone, the library gives the same 'steam browser is disabled' as the other pages do, why couldn't they just have let the old style still exist, and not force the new-style library on those of us with -no-browser, sigh :(

Quoting: chui2chIs there a good guide somewhere on installing the NVIDIA driver using the run file?

Several other replies have mentioned dangers to installing the drivers manually, and while yes, conflicts can occur, they don't have to with a few precautions taken, it's not all doom and gloom and should something go wonky, like you did an upgrade and all of a sudden your 3d games feel like molasses, it just means the symlinks that point the gl driver to the nvidia version got overwritten, and you can either fix them manually or just re-run the installer of the nvidia driver. Nothing dangerous will happen, nothing that can't be fixed will happen.

So first precaution (speaking from a debian perspective) if you want to be manually installing nvidia drivers you should not have any nvidia packages installed, cause that's just inviting misery. Without nvidia packages, apt will want to satisfy dependencies with libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx, these are the two packages that will overwrite your nvidia files, so if any of these are upgraded, see first paragraph.

You download the file, shut down X, be root, sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-version.run; if it warns about compiler version mismatch between kernel and driver you can give a variable infront to use the one you want, for example CC=gcc-4.8 sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-version.run. Obviously you need to have the particular gcc version it asks for installed. It will ask if you want 32bit stuff installed, yes you do, and if you want it to generate an X config, you probably don't need that.

Then you start X and that should be that. Start up nvidia-settings to check everything over. Actually I think in this modern age you don't even need an X config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf), and it will just detect the nvidia driver by itself. But just in case it doesn't, and you can't launch X, either you mess with the config yourself (pretty easy, but everything is easy if you know how), or just run the installer again and when it asks if you want it to generate an X config just say yes.

Go forth and experiment and try new things, it's the best way to learn =)

Quoting: g000hI hope it is just a name-change

I think so, when I clicked the steam link to the enhanced edition, it just takes me to a place where it lists everything in the bundle, of which I already have core game + the following (which in my opinion is all you need).

Quoting: seamooseI'm so close to buying Dying Light but I'm afraid my old rig won't run it. I'm still on an i5-3570K CPU and a GTX660 (not even TI...) GPU. Can I run this game even on medium settings?

You should be fine on the cpu, the gpu is not amazing though; I use an i5-750 and a 980, and with this setup I run it passably in native with all settings turned down/off, and a whole lot better using steamplay at max settings.

You won't know until you try; you could always try it for 2 hours and refund if you change your mind, however based on your gpu you're probably thinking about getting a new rig at some point soon, or at least a new gpu, so if it's cheap enough for you just pick it up.

It really is a great game and tremendously fun when playing with friends and partners. It's also really scary at times, though that's highly subjective of course =) Personally I can't stand scary games -- unless I play with friends, and they have to put up with me yelling and screaming over voice chat =)
