Quoting: Guest

Quoting: UltraVioletthis time i was shot down instantly with a very short sentence from the owner and i felt my view [while being in the minority] didnt matter

That exact same thing happened to me here. Was pretty unprofessional to say the least.
Long time ago now though, and I won't go into it any more.

Some people just think their ideas have to be done though, but as the owner I have to stop somewhere and I cannot implement everything people want. Not only that, but some ideas are just bad.

If you're unhappy with something, you can PM me any time.

It's a pity Liam (et al.?) must spend time acting as a parent for people one would have thought were worthy of the epithet "civilized." Still, this is what magazine and newspaper editors have been doing with "letters to the editor" and "opinion" sections of their periodicals since the beginning. Shouting matches, bullying, and thuggery only detract and distract from a healthy society, be it online or off.

P.S. The first thing I do upon signing in at Reddit is hit "New" because I'm more interested in what's new than what's popular. ;)

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionTo moderate unwanted comments or to shut down opposition?

Opposition and debate is fine and natural and I've had near zero complaints about our moderation in the years we've done this.

One site, one community, one OS ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Quoting: ShmerlAs far as I know, Feral choose it. Which differs from porting companies which are hired to port something. In case of Feral, they propose other gaming companies to port the game (and to bear all the costs for it), and in return they ask to share the profit from Linux sales (however they measure that). At least that's how I understood it, others can correct me if that's wrong.

As you said yourself, they can only make a proposition to port a game. They can't choose to do it on their own. Technically and legally.

If the information from "http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games" is correct, Feral made several Mac ports for Games that are without DRM: Batman - Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition, Rayman® Origins, Fable - The Lost Chapters and Sid Meier's Railroads.

Tenebrae has been on my wishlist forever. Indeed, I've held off playing Two Worlds at all until the promised enhancements and Tenebrae have been released. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Quoting: wojtek88

Quoting: razing32

Quoting: wojtek88I have finished the game in about 90%, from main plot I haven't finished only the last mission.
I haven't finished it because...
I don't have much time to play recently and whenever I start the Dying Light to finish last mission, the scenario is the same:
I start the mission and play it like any other mission. On the map there is a suggestion, that always points me to wrong place and I get mad and turn off the game...

However the game is golden and I can recommend it to everyone.

The game is good and the night sections really make you afraid of the super zombies.

As for the final mission , sorry to say but it is a mess. You're not missing out on that one.

Did you play the DLC yet ?

Nope, I haven't. Honestly very often I skip DLC's. The only DLC's I enjoy are those that provide story extension, like White March part I and II in Pillars of Eternity, or Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine in Witcher 3.
Is the Following similar to those extensions? I own it, but didn't manage to give it a try yet.

I have the "Following" expansion but did not try it out yet.
From what I read it does add new story , weapons and gameplay.
So this might be your cup of tea.

i think its all about how you say something. you can get your point across better if you remain carm and try and articulate into text how your feeling about the subject in hand


i was on a forum a little while ago [the LMZF community] and we where talking about adding a 'like' button and i was only for it if a dislike button was also added, as there is no light without the dark if everyone is happy all the time when this is just the new 'normal'. any way, a dislike button was never added, but i was fine with it as we talked constructively for quite some length no one never once trolling anyone.

this happened on another forum, but, this time i was shot down instantly with a very short sentence from the owner and i felt my view [while being in the minority] didnt matter


i'm woffling sorry

Quoting: LinasI read the comments pretty often, and I cannot remember the last time I saw anything toxic. I am not against moderation as such, but is there really a problem that needs solving?

This is probably due to good moderation. :)

:O

TBH I would of said that the GOL community is anything but toxic

I'm not the most frequent in here nor read every article/post so may miss a lot of it but still, would never consider GOL/users being toxic! .

I admit I pick on liam on occasion :P

You shouldn't need to apply anything yourself, so long as your system is up-to-date.

EDIT: I spoke too soon, the fix is still in [testing], if you don't run testing, you will need to wait a bit longer.

Will this help Shadow Of Mordor too? Actually it's barely playable...

Thanks for all your work and dedication, Mesa devs! <3

Quoting: lucifertdarkthe original developers/publishers only use Steam to release their games so it makes sense that the Feral ports only exist on Steam.

I'm repeating myself for the third time already. I'm not asking about DRM minded publishers, I'm asking why Feral choose to port only games from such.

Probably because they're the ones who make the most money.

I am so excited this is working! Hopefully performance will improve quickly. I will be picking up a second copy when it performs well, so the wife and I can play.

I guess it should be "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 %command%" in launch options. Didnt have time to test myself yet

Btw do NOT force compat profile. It's not needed and will only harm rendering

Reading through spoilers here, I have just realised that the sequel might mean that DONTNOD will have to spoil it, which ending is "canonical".

Unless they sidestep it completely by telling an unrelated story of someone else who can rewind time...

Quoting: lucifertdarkBefore Valve started supporting Linux I had exactly ONE game that worked in Linux, I now have nearly 800.

How many Feral ports are for games that have been available on GOG as Windows only games? If the answer is None you have your reason why Feral only offer Steam keys.

I don't really understand what you mean. As far as I know, none of games that Feral ported have any version on GOG.

That was my point, none of the games they've ported have been on GOG because the Windows versions weren't on GOG either, the original developers/publishers only use Steam to release their games so it makes sense that the Feral ports only exist on Steam.

I totally prefer moderation to a toxic environment. Reading GoL should be fun and at least my fun is spoiled by some kinds of behaviour. That said, I'm a regular reader for quite some time now and didn't notice anything. What has happened? Did I miss the right articles?

Great, I totally loved TW 2 back in the days.
It was one of my first games for PS3 and had a really interesting combat system, much better than in the TES-games...

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionTo moderate unwanted comments or to shut down opposition?

In this regard its a lose lose situaton, some people will always view moderation as just someone shutting down opnions they dont like, but it you dont moderate the toxic stuff then the comments become a hate filled battleground.

I guess we will have to trust Liam and the moderators who manage this to be fair. What would perhaps be a nice halfway house would be if the comments moderates where instead of deleted where 'hidden' with the option for users to enable themif they really wanted to.

Quoting: MightyTrollzorseems to run again after another 1.9 gig patch (at least the safehouse does). I also found a mod that enables coop with windows users even with the downgraded linux version (just search in the linux subforum of the payday2 discussions on steam)

Someone on the steam forum says that days 1-4 are working, i really hope they does :D

Edit: And yeah, it works :D

I am very aware that this is like, 7 months old, but hi, I'm the guy who fixes Linux Matchmaking, you're welcome =)

Have you considered doing an interview with GoL someday? I have no idea if Liam or the staff would be interested in it at all, but I'd be interested in hearing what challenges/etc. there are.

I could talk about the basics of Payday 2 modding, but I don't forsee me talking about lua code at length, largely because A: I'm not that much of a coder, and B: It was a really, REALLY easy fix.

Also, Sort of self-advertisement, but I made a video about this particular matchmaking incident awhile ago where I talk a bit about QA testing: View video on youtube.com ,and again in April, specifically about Overkill and the "Search For Kento Event": View video on youtube.com

The issue is closed now, but I am confused whether I need to run this patch or wait for an openssl update to come down the pipe.

Quoting: Doc Angelo

Quoting: ShmerlI'm asking about why Feral pick only such cases to port. That's already something they choose.

May I ask why you are phrasing it like this? Is there an indication that Feral chooses for themselves which games they port?

As far as I know, Feral choose it. Which differs from porting companies which are hired to port something. In case of Feral, they propose other gaming companies to port the game (and to bear all the costs for it), and in return they ask to share the profit from Linux sales (however they measure that). At least that's how I understood it, others can correct me if that's wrong.

Quoting: Doc AngeloOr do you mean that Feral has more contractual offers than they could handle and they are deliberately only picking ones with Steam DRM? That would be pretty cool, just because that would mean that the Linux market is so big, that Feral and Aspyr can't even handle all the requests. But I doubt that.

I mean it looks like they only pick titles to port which are owned by publishers who are pro-DRM (or against releasing in DRM-free stores).
