Quoting: GuestPerhaps nobody is using wine where those 2-3% stats are collected. Wine is bad for us in every area. Thinking it gives us more games is a dangerous illusion. It gives us more devs and publishers who count us as customers without the need to actually make games for GNU/Linux.

i think you are overreacting a bit. no way there's so many wine users. Also we cant blame wine for this, its amazing program that allows to make the switch from windows much smoother for many people.

steam has lower precentage because linux gaming is still not as popular as general linux usage. Due to limited amount of games and performance problems. And linux users in steam are still growing, just much less than Windows numbers.

Ok i fixed my font problems. It seems infinality was the cause here which isnt updated anymore and recently also harfbuzz update broke nvidia-settings, dockbarx, virtualbox and so on. older steam version worked with this but new update not. so i removed infinality and switched back to default fontconfig of arch, luckly its not terrible anymore.

i think we are growing in steam also, just slower than other OS's, steam userbase is rapidly growing specially the Asian side and this side of the planet sadly doesnt use linux that much afaik. That might explain why we dont see increase in precentage in steamHWSurvey. Also it seems distro hoppers or the ones who sometimes run steam through wine get the survey prompt more often.

finally i can throw away my steam_away script :D

seems this update did something with the fonts also, its now uglier and some letters overlap in places.

client seems a bit faster also.

edit: also getting a steam client crash when going to "System Information"

Quoting: HexDSLDoes that mean it MAY ACTUALLY be playable! lol :P

it has been playable very long time :) its not brilliant with its performance, but lot better than many unity4.x based games. unity5.x games are running much better ofc.

yeah, idea is interesting, but as said its a prototype. theres so little audio-visual feedback in the game.

but i can see it being awesome with multiplayer, more content, more work on sounds and animations and so on.

That is some great news.. performance is OK, runs mostly over 40 fps all maxed for me but some of the nice graphical effects are missing from linux client due to it being stuck on super old UE4 engine.. 4.5 namely and only supports opengl3.3.

can't wait to try again when vulkan renderer is added.
currently have clocked nearly 200 hours of fun with this game, well worth the money as well as that payed DLC that everybody hates is fair in my book because so much new content is added.

Quoting: Mountain ManAMD has really done a disservice to the Linux community with their poor support. If it wasn't for Nvidia, Linux gaming wouldn't be where it is today.

completely agree.
nvidia might be evil, but we wouldnt be here without their driver support like it or not
