Indie FPS ‘Vengeance’ has a huge update, starting to actually get fun now

Quoting: m0nt3Looks pretty good. Is the FOV adjustable, because that looks really high.
i was thinking the same thing

A look at some great Linux & SteamOS racing games available in 2017

'The Next Penelope' which looks quite fun, but, on the Steam page doesn't say it's available for Linux, have they missed that out?

NVIDIA 384.47 beta driver released, includes a fix for newer Feral titles

Quoting: calfretI get a weird line while watching Youtube on Chrome. I suppose this is screen tearing? I wonder if this driver might fix that? My system is still on kernel 4.8 something. Maybe if I get the latest kernel and this new driver my performance will improve.
You can turn on V-sync in the settings which should stop that I would of thought

Cryptark, the 2D sci-fi roguelike shooter is now officially out with a sale

got the game yesterday and the shooting mechanics are spot on, very much like Geometry Wars 3 i simply cant fault them. plus your right about the art design; very very good.
a real joy to play, just hope i can make it a little further next time as i didn't use my shield enough and thought it was a great idea to kill everything on the level, the result: no ammo and very little health = death :-)

Quoting: UltraVioletcool, this bug only effects nvidia hardware? i have the same set up with a amd card and have had no problems with FireFox ever
Possible. It had something to do with the allocation of large memory pages. If those were effectively allocated by the nvidia driver, then it could be that. It may have been other combinations of hardware though.
yeah i thought is was something like this as when i went multi-process in Firefox a few months ago thats when the process 'Web Content' starting showing on my system monitor and mucking things up.

That was a kernel bug that Ubuntu introduced by incorporating patches from an unreleased kernel into theirs. Apparently Mint happily copied it. After it being in there for three months, it was finally fixed recently.

CRYPTARK, the rather excellent roguelike 2D sci-fi shooter launches on June 20th

Quoting: opera
Quoting: UltraVioletIt does look realy good, I hope there is a demo though as if it's crazy hard I'm not interested
There is no real need for a demo if you use steam. You can refund the game for any reason if you haven't played longer than 2 hours. So enough time for trying the game.
That's a good point, thanks

Lets hope it's not crazy hard

Refunct, the short and peaceful first-person platformer is now on Linux, I have some free keys for you

I actually just started a thread in the forums about this game as I couldn't find a thread on it.

I think it's a excellent game and it's now just been released on XBox One, which is how I found out about it

It's so refreshing to play such a simple and enjoyable game
