Quoting: TheRiddickMonitor off:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off && sleep 1 && xrandr --output DP-4 --auto && sleep 3 && nvidia-settings --load-config-only &

Monitor on:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --rotate left --right-of DP-4 && sleep 3 && nvidia-settings --load-config-only &


my script :)

# Script to switch Freesync

# Check if display dpy:4 is enabled
check=$(nvidia-settings -q dpys | grep dpy:4 | grep enabled)

# Switch display config
if [ -z "$check" ]; then
 # If enabled - notify and disable freesync
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DP-4: 2560x1440_144 +0+0, DP-1: null, DP-2: 2560x1440_60 +2560+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
notify-send "Freesync Disabled, Both Monitors Active" -t 4000 -i messagebox_info
else
 # If disabled - notify and enable freesync
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DP-4: 2560x1440_144 +0+0 {AllowGSYNCCompatible=On}, DP-1: null, DP-2: null"
notify-send "Freesync Enabled with 1 Monitor Active" -t 4000 -i messagebox_info
fi


But yeah it really sucks that you cant use multimonitor with it. I hope they find a way to implement something in X soonish

Whoops i had older version of nvidia-settings still, though the drivers were new :) it looks a bit different once i updated nvidia-settings also



also this might be needed, depends if your Monitor is whitelisted or not:

Spoiler, click me

end result should show this on the screen:

Yeah it's pretty useless for me without being able to use my second monitor sadly. But yeah it works like it should (same as G-Sync in features). No issues with that on my AOC Agon AG271QX monitor. Hope those Xorg limits can be worked around or we really have to wait until Wayland really takes off. Does Wayland support GSync/Freesync even?

Being a Closed alpha tester i can say that this game will get better and better as the time passes. Devs are active and listening feedback. For me, biggest issue atm with the game is that the erruptions happen with such a small intervals that you dont really have much time to explore the worlds, but just build your stuff on your drillship and be sure to take it underground before the erruption. Gunplay could use some more kickback also and Enemy AI needs improvements, But what you currently get for the money is well worth it imo. Its something different to all other survival games, Has really interesting mechanics with your drillship upgrades and module expansions. I still haven't completed the game, though i have 11 hours of gameplay. But i was a tester so i always had to start from scratch when something big got fixed. What i hear is that when you finish the campaign you can still play it and explore the world and control the erruptions or something like that. Looking forward to the Coop. And special thanks to the devs who kept implementing new features and improving everything. I like how they also were really eager to fix Linux issues. At first we had like 2x less performance than we currently have. Erruptions tanked the FPS to 10-12 FPS and so on. Now it drops down to 30 with Erruptions but other than that it runs mostly solid 60+ on all maxed 1440p.

Looking forward to the next updates in the game! Really happy to see Top notch Linux support

PS About the TAA issue people are having, I never really tested AA settings, would have catched this during alpha, but i play 2560x1440 and i dont like to use AA because it removes sharpness of the textures usually, unless its MSAA. So, sorry about that :)

Talking point: What are you playing this weekend?

Gonna do some more Volcanoids testing if time allows

Some regular Warhammer Online (Return of Reckoning private server) RvR action

And if i get time i will try to get back into Dying Light

Kingdoms and Castles had another wonderful update to expand the city builder recently

Quoting: holisticboyI've owned this for over a year now, and still haven't tried it yet (first world problems). Currently stuck in a hotel with my ubuntu ryzen laptop with vega graphics, so going to download and give a try!
I own it for half a year and still haven't even tried it yet. Somehow i totally forgot this game.

Valve's card game Artifact seems to be dying off and fairly quickly too

Well that's what you get if you sell the game and add gambling into it. Though usually people will still buy all of this crap cause "its Valve and Valve is the best you know". Seems thisone didn't even work well for Valve fans :)

Free to play is the only option for this to be saved i guess. I have few friends who say that they would like to try it if it was free, but not willing to pay and then pay for extra stuff.

Paladins, the team-based shooter seems to work well with Steam Play

Works amazingly well until they break it with EAC update :D

125-180FPS 2560x1440 all maxed

Gravel, the 'ultimate off-road experience' is now officially supported on Linux
17 Jan 2019 at 6:41 pm UTC

Interesting, though it has Mostly Negative reviews and the Price is way too much. Would like to get the information about performance also if someone buys and the wheel support ofc. Might buy it when its on sale then.
