Quoting: SslaxxAs I recall, isn't this somewhat inspired by Lords of Midnight?

Quite a lot actually, which is definitely not a bad thing. :)

Heh, also worth noting is that this was made by the guy who created the fake game in the movie "Her", the game with the obnoxious little alien guy.

Quoting: BestiaThe performance drop for XCOM is big. Several people in linux_gaming subreddit wrote that they get only half of the framerate of Windows version.

One guy posted screenshots comparing Windows (124 fps) and Linux (43 fps).

For this sort of statement there needs to be more detail. I did originally get a huge performance drop, but now notsomuch. I swapped out lightdm for kdm, which for some weird reason caused a huge increase.

What GPU, what driver, what compositor, what wm, etc. etc.

Quoting: KelsI haven't played trading card games, what are the better ones for Linux so I can maybe try one out?

It's single player with no additional card purchases, but Card City Nights is pretty decent.

Quoting: KelsAside from which, I like the idea of more MMO for Linux, especially ones that aren't tied down to AAA-style graphics. I like something a bit more cartoony, which is why I enjoyed WoW back when I played it.

Wakfu is on Linux, soon being added to Steam. It has interesting an unique classes, turn-based combat and player-driven economy/politics.

Quoting: DrMcCoyRelatedly, the Giana Sisters devs stated (on the Steam forums, a few days ago) that their promised Linux port has been outsourced as well, since they themselves are busy with Dieselstörmers. I just hope that goes well.

As long as the "port" means making the current codebase cross-platform so they can maintain the port themselves, it should be ok.

Quoting: kalinI buying a lot of linux games without playing them. I'm using only linux os.
Is this mean my money go to windows developers ??? :><:
I expect some serious discussions about that in steam forum

Basically yeah. If you don't play it on Linux within the first few weeks, it defaults to being a Windows purchase.

Picked this game up a while back, so the dev already has my money. If a Linux port should still happen, I look forward jumping in again and seeing what paths I have missed in my previous few playthroughs.

As for the folks saying devs should grow a thicker skin... I say no, the "community" should stop being a bunch of pillocks and hold each other to higher standards. Call out this sort of behaviour when you see it.

Quoting: edoI thought the desktop environment (or whatever retated to it) does not affect the performance.

I believe the culprit is the compositor. In order to play "Sir/Madam, You Are Being Hunted" I also have to run openbox, but for a different reason - mouse issues.

Hey all. Just discovered something regarding performance. I'm running Manjaro (Arch-based) with KDE, and with or without compositing the performance is terrible. However, if I switch the window-manager to openbox with "openbox --replace" it improves a lot, even on High settings.

Quoting: GuestIt’s weird they didn’t bother making a 32 bit build. (Not that I care, I switched my Arch install to 64 bit three years ago, and my 32 bit Atom netbook is quite limited for gaming!)

Edit: BTW, anyone got it to work under Arch?

I'm on a 64 bit Manjaro system, which is Arch-based, but I don't know how far-removed from Arch it is. Anyhoo, the game works for me.
