Shout out to Techland for supplying a crazy amount of extras for Dying Light in 2018 with their "10-in-12" program (OK they started late 2017 but the majority was during 2018 ;) )

Peace, Death was a nice little gem which eventually saw a Linux version on Steam in march, and it is good-o. :)

I'm still stoked that Overload (the Descent-like 6DoF shooter) was made by the actual guys who made Descent... it just makes me happy.

There are several things you must do to enable G-Sync, just settings in OS, driver and monitor etc. Not exactly perfect or dead simple, but not difficult. It's just... a proper b*tch to get it working like I want/need it to. It's madness, really.

Here's a link that doesn't help but is still helpful. ;)

Wow. That was magnificent. Maybe the games are worth checking out after all... ^_^

Quoting: GuestWhat do you currently achieve and what do you want to achieve ?

Config is 90 degree rotated 1920x1080 60Hz non-G-Sync monitor (left) and non-rotated 3440x1440 120Hz G-Sync monitor (right) on Debian sid, KDE Plasma, 1080Ti. Forcing composition pipeline is a tolerable 'hack' but the whole G-Sync feature is sort of wasted unless I disable the non-G-Sync monitor.

Current limitations with Xorg include awesome things like...

*Forced composition pipeline and G-Sync are mutually exclusive
*G-Sync only available in full screen applications
*G-Sync only available on a single X screen (this usually means your whole desktop in most cases since a normal multimonitor setup runs a single X screen spanning all monitors)
*Trying to get dual X screens working properly is about as amusing as repeatedly punching yourself in the d*ck with a cactus

Disabling 2nd monitor is not a solution imho, but it seems to be the only way for now. Xorg is unlikely to be fixed so maybe Wayland will be better at this... maybe nVidia can get G-Sync working in windowed applications... maybe pigs will be able to fly someday... :S:

How about this situation:
KDE Plasma 5, Kwin with OpenGL compositing, have no tearing, have working G-Sync on the main G-Sync monitor while still having the other non-G-Sync monitor (rotated btw) working normally.

So far, it seems impossible. :)
If anyone here is an expert in getting dual X screens working with KDE+nVidia drivers, let me know.

Quoting: GuestIs it the "freezing panel when some apps interrupt compositing" bug or a "oops my windows decorations disappeared !" bug ?

Yep. The one we all love to hate! :><:

Quoting: GuestTo work around the former, I had removed the automatic composition interruption (and do it manually when required). Would be awesome if this was finally fixed, it's been here for ages.

The question is, why should it be necessary at all to disable compositing? :S:

Quoting: GuestOh I can't wait to get this driver!

• Fixed a bug that caused kwin OpenGL compositing to crash when launching certain OpenGL applications.

This fix is great! I got really tired of Steam and Google Chrome restarting kwin...

Dude! Celebration time! This has been a pain in the ass for soo long...

Quoting: BeamboomWhat is it?

Literally the first words in the article: "Psychological horror with erotic and occult themes"

While it may not say much about the actual gameplay, it does say a lot about the game.

Love this game! Nice replay value as you can collect the functions over and over again in more playthroughs, and even upgrade them with themselves. The function system is pretty intricate. :)

Excellent inflow of Linux +1's in the thread, good show gang!
Up to 49 Linux votes if I'm able to count properly, let's hope they take the hint... btw, I could only find one thread even asking about Mac version and that has zero response so virtually no one wants the Mac version. :P
