Using news from golem is like using news from phoronix. I would always double check if possible.

Anyways Spellforce 3 is great news. I loved Spellforce 1.

Also if the thing about The Guild 3 is true, then I hope it will be a bit like a The Guild 1 remake, because The Guild 2 was bs :/

Looks awesome, this game will be an instant buy for me as soon as I get home.

I love old games like Hexen I / II, Heretic, ... :)

Still runs good for me since the last beta update between 30 fps and 90 fps. The only thing I recognized was that the font bug got fixed.

I ran it on ultra settings (no vsync and no uber sampling)

Linux Mint 64 bit, MATE (MATE compositor OFF), nvidia 337.25
Core i7 3770k, GTX 670 OC

1920×1080, Ultra settings (no Uber, no Vsync):
before: 13 - 45 FPS (some interior maps had higher fps)
new beta: 30 - 90 FPS (some interior maps had higher fps)

Improved quite a bit for me. Though as others mentioned before the fonts in the menu are screwed up :/

Quoting: Sabun

Quoting: killxdenIs the Overlay always that big?

It can be modified! You can edit two config files, one being global or the other being per user.
<code>/etc/glxosd.conf for global configuration, contains the default config</code>
or the user specific one at the following:
<code>~/.glxosd/glxosd.conf</code>

You can modify the color of the text, the position, what exactly gets outputted and of course the font. You can also modify VoglPerf's as well (I've done it), but it requires messing with source code. GLXOSD is simply adjusting parameters via the glxosd.conf text files. :)

P.S: If you enjoy using GLXOSD, let the dev know on Github! I don't want him to stop working on it, it's a great piece of software. We need tools that rival Rivertuner and FRAPS.

Thanks for the info Liam :)

Quoting: liamdaweWell using GLXOSD, here's my 560ti and a top end i5 on medium settings:

*sigh*

There is definitely input lag when on medium as well as being terribly slow still making it unplayable for me :(.

Is the Overlay always that big?

Also for me it didn't matter if I had low, medium, high or ultra settings I always had the same performance (uber sampling deactivated of course). Just make sure to deactivate the compositor before starting the game.

Ps. How the hell do you get voglperf to build on Ubuntu/Mint to get a benchmark?

If you are using a 64bit system you need to compile the 32bit version first (and probably install some missing libs) and then the 64bit version.

When it is done you can start it from its folder like this

./bin/voglperfrun64 --fpsprint --fpsshow <STEAM_ID>

Then you will see the fps in-game :>

I think it also has a web front end but I didn't use that yet.

1 month is like nothing. We had a bug on a pretty big platform which has a complex infrastructure. Dell and Vmware, both couldn't help us with their support. After 5 month we were able to track it down to a service that had a wrong variable in its configuration file.
What I am trying to say is, if the structure (in this case code on another platform) is complex enough, one month time can be like nothing. But maybe they will find the fix tomorrow or next month. Doesn't matter to me as long as they work on it. And as long as they work on it there is hope for a fix.

I really love adventure games so I will definitely pick this one up :)

Quoting: PlintslchoBesides, for those who have bought the game(s) on GOG.com, won't they become automatically available for Linux as well when GOG.com offers games for Linux? That's what I'd expect.

Probably only if you have bought the "Deponia: The Complete Journey" on GoG. The three games itself wont get a Linux version.

That is the table from the Steam page.

Quoting: BeamboomWTF, Crysis 2 was a bad game? Get outta here. It is my favourite shooter of recent years.
And the multiplayer in that game were awesome.

imo Crysis 1, 2 were bad games and what I have read from the third one so far doesn't make it any better. I think I'd rather play another CoD game (which isn't fun either)

I mean the graphics were really nice but the gameplay sucked like hell.
