Steamboy Project has not any connection to Valve or Steam, except it will offer SteamOS games.

The (hopefully) Weekly State Of SteamOS Address

Update time guys! Please remember that this is SteamOS in it's default state, so AMD's beta driver that fixes some issues with the witcher is NOT present.
Note: I've read online that the black screen issues can be fixed by changing sound to ALSA, but rather than doing that (modifies default SteamOS blah blah) I disabled all SteamOS sounds, and surprisingly that seemed to help, though it might have just been luck.
The witcher 2 runs on my rig at 60+ FPS on Ultra*. The only way I could get it to consistently launch (black screen otherwise) was to have all depth of field options and ubersampling disabled. With that config every once in a while (1/3 of the time perhaps) the game will black screen on launch causing me to exit and restart the game via SteamOS's easy "game quitter."
I have only testing the Arena and Tutorial modes, as both times I tried to launch the story it crashed. Tonight I will try to launch the story without skipping the cut-scenes and see if that changes anything.
Tonight I'll also be filimg myself playing for proof :)

Quoting: FTWIs SteamOS a rolling release?Yes, or at least how Valve has implemented it so far. I personally cannot use non-rolling distributions.

Quoting: GuestSorry but AMD drivers on Linux are just not ready for this right now. (Have AMD even been working to improve their Linux drivers like... at all?)Just last week they released a beta driver that fixed issues with The Witcher 2, so yes.

The r9 290x is at the top of the high end (On windows), especially for the price. And I know AMD's history/bad rap, but rather than telling me it's not worth it, I'm going to find out myself. Hence the purpose of this article.

Just please, whatever you do put in place a popup that urges you to disable adblock and won't allow you to view the site until a timer expires. Niresh does that, and it's annoying as hell.

That just gave me an idea, why not have a "kickstarter" like fundraiser to help pay for games to review/cast and just general funding. See http://www.niresh12495.com/ [External Link] for an example. Every month they set a goal of $300 to help keep the site going, and he reaches that every time.

Quoting: michele mazzaI second that.<br abp="250">GOL is not a public service.<br abp="251">You should support it because you think it's worth it, either by seeing ads or donating money.<br abp="252">The fact that there's money to spare for any number of 6-packs is irrelevant.I understand, but all I'm saying is that people would be more willing to support a cause if they knew were the money was going. How much is hosting? What games do you need?
