A reboot of the game Startopia from 20 years ago, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startopia [External Link]. However it isn't mentioned for some reason (sus). The game looks like it didn't change much. It had a few bugs back then but was fun for a while, as a kid.

Quoting: slaapliedje'in this day and age a program can't detect all the weird resolutions out there and have just a set static amount listed?'

Sounds like the game only takes a subset of the list of resolutions the driver pushes out. 10+ years ago, the list of resolutions was insanely long, even before the HD screens. I wouldn't be surprised if the game did some filtering to not give a list of 100 resolutions and their refresh rate possibilities.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI could install it in Windows and see if it's a Linux issue vs Game issue.

If it is a Linux issue, that would be disappointing. I hope there is a simple config file to set the options u need.

Quoting: slaapliedjeso if I'm going to load up a game, I prefer it take advantage of my screen

I totally understand that you want to get the full performance out of the system you have.

Yesterday evening, your post sounded to me like you could not enjoy it until it performs at 144Hz. It was like a boast of the money you can throw at your entertainment platform. Because who even needs some figuring out to run something on full-screen, while using Linux? Maybe I'm chasing a ghost in your comment though, sorry for jumping in the ghost-buster wagon like that.

Quoting: slaapliedjeNow if I can just figure out how to get it running full screen in 3840x1200@144hz!

Why would you need to run this on 144Hz? Dang I'm not even capable to get this running on 60 at a full HD screen, and enjoy it without any doubt on 30-40 Hz.
First world problems are fascinating, and terrifying at the same time.

Thumbs up for the game, I love the atmosphere. Loads of fun playing it with friends.

Ever since Windows 10 came along I've moved to Linux (Ubuntu-mate) and i'm still glad i moved. In the meantime I've managed to convinced 2 more to make the step to Linux. And both are more happy with it than they where while using Windows.

For computer-noobs and gamers Windows is ok, until it automatically updates and the computer gets unresponsive for a while. Or it asks for a restart that takes more than 10 minutes. No "cancel" button or "fuck this update, shutdown!" is damn irritating if you need to use that computer ASAP. Frustrations create willpower to change.
If all one does is surf the web and office-stuff. Nothing is holding him/her back to get to Linux but the unknown.

A lovely development is at the name Linux, since Android we now have SteamOS and ChromeOS. The name is hitting the news. The more it's name is passed around the more people will look at it and ask "Why, what is Linux?" a slippery slope. Linux is getting known by the masses, used, loved, trusted.

Then there's the rising global distrust. Nations are organizing cyber-police (NSA). Creating worms, viruses and shit to spy each other. Guess how safe Windows and Mac are at that threat compared to Linux.

I'd say 4.8% is still a bit high, too fast too sudden. But wonderful if it's true. Linux is a decent alternative to both Mac and Windows if one takes the step/time to look at it. Witch just happens faster as Windows and Mac are getting "old", chunky (can't change a lot there, layout wise) and over-automated imho.
