Quoting: TiedemannI enabled it in the main menu (mod manager icon). After that I could hide/show it in-game via the pause menu (ESC).

Interesting - I don't have that icon.

All I have is "Easy Start", "New Game", "Load Game", "Options", "Achievements", "Paradox Account" and "Quit".

Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue... According to that same source, mods are apparently not supported by Linux-based operating systems, but the "Mod manager" (in the menu) is, so it looks like this might be some sort of bug.

Quoting: TiedemannI'm using the cheat menu thing. It's fun to just add stuff and try things out :P
I think you can just drop this in where it belongs to get that:

Yeah, the ReadMe says drag-and-drop... But it also says to enable the mods menu in-game... For the life of me though, I cannot seem to find this.

Any ideas?

Why didn't he just use the HDMI passthrough for his videos? If I leave my television on when using my PlayStation VR, it will show whatever I am seeing... Wouldn't it still work the same way here, or is this (video passthrough) a software thing, rather than raw video pass-through (as I am assuming it is)?

By the way, if you have a PlayStation VR headset, it natively works under Linux-based operating systems for non-VR usage - I tried it with Ubuntu out of curiosity and whilst you wouldn't use it for everything, it does have its uses - for example, playing your favorite game on a (simulated) 5M display from 5M away!

Anyway, it's nice to see some work being done to get the actual VR side of the house going... Given the standard (HDMI and USB) connections plus Valve's complete lack of interest in SteamVR under Linux-based operating systems, I was rather surprised when I bought my PlayStation VR that no one had (at the time of writing) yet tried to get it working under Linux-based operating systems.

Now the Facebook buyout makes sense. I could never understand their angle before.

Which is why I was completely turned-off the Occulus products the moment Mark Zuckerberg bought them... I wouldn't trust the man if my life depended on it.

Is there a way to enable "unlimited" money, like you can in Cities: Skylines?

I bought the "First Colony Edition" the other day through GOG.com and although I didn't play it for too long (I had to work the next day), it seemed like a lot of mucking around... I prefer the whole "build your perfect city" most of the time, only doing the whole strategy thing (in these types of games) when I want a change.

I'm a big fan of anything relating to Ancient Rome and although we don't already know too much about this game, I'm excited for what it could potentially offer... I'll have to take a closer look when it comes out (*cough cough* on GOG.com *cough cough*).

Quoting: KohlyKohlI was pleasantly surprised when the snap updated yesterday.

Is that the snap from Ubuntu Software? I'm still on Alpha 22...

Also, I have a question - with my NVIDIA laptop, is there any (graphical/performance) benefit over using one version (snap or "regular" installation) over the other?

Yet another reason why I don't buy my games from Steam anymore... DRM, censorship (particularly censorship that is hypocritical and doesn't make sense), the lack of interest in (the Linux-based) Steam Machines.

I buy my games from elsewhere these days, particularly GOG.com (who doesn't censor their games, by the way) - if the developers of these games are upset by Valve Software's stance, they should consider the alternatives, such as GOG.com and itch.io.

Meanwhile, it's now been a couple of years since any of the Linux-based computers in our household have been counted in the Hardware Survey... But that's not a bug, and it all works "as designed".

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT@Cyba.Cowboy: When did you start to play this game?

I bought the game in July 2015, so probably somewhere around that time... Seeing as I single-boot a Linux-based operating system, I usually get a couple of hours up on my Linux games straight away, just to make sure the developer knows Linux gamers are around.

I could always be wrong, it's quite a few years ago now... But I don't remember the game running poorly on my last laptop and it certainly doesn't run poorly on the lappy I have now.

Quoting: ShmerlBut DRM and lock-in aren't the same thing. Though they can be related in practice (such as DRM causing lock-in).

That's what I just said, except in much more detail...
