Quoting: fagnerlnI love SW3, it's my favorite open-world game of all time. SW4 is great too, but isn't fun as SW3. The only thing that annoy me is their loading, it takes too long in comparison to Windows.

Takes >1min in Linux and a few seconds in Windows.
really? it takes like 5 seconds to load for me
i have it on SSD though, but i doubt the difference is so big

Quoting: KallestofelesThis update somehow messed up my mouse input on Unity titles - randomly slows to a crawl, then goes normal again. I'm really getting fed up with this crap. :\
can you tell me what unity titles exactly?

seems good so far for me

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTApart from the fact I do love your beautiful (I love minimalistic styles) setup I wonder where you got that glowing Arch Linux key cap from? I know it's possible to buy custom cherry mx switches - I didn't know it's possible to get transparrent ones.

Quoting: Stupendous ManI see many of you guys have (music) keyboards; what software do you use them with? I've had nothing but bad experience with Midi keyboards and Linux.
FL Studio in wine with wineasio and JACK... works fine

Really like Renoise also but my brain just cant keep up with the vertical pattern/playlist editor

Saints Row: The Third Linux port report, better than SR2, but still needs improvement

Quoting: Username already takenI'm pleased with SR3. It works well with a PS4 controller even though the prompts show Xbox buttons. The frame rate is solid 60 at medium settings 1080p on my system (vsync enabled):

i7 4790k, 32gb 2400Mhz ram, GTX670 with proprietory drivers, Mint 17.3 Cinnamon.
you seriously can't be happy to run it at medium (which makes the game look like sh**) with the hardware you have.
this game is old and i expect to run it 60+ 1080p on high or ultra settings with midrange GPUs and up
