Quoting: ageresIf a game I already own gets ported to Linux, I buy a copy and store it in my inventory. I cannot gift it immediately because I don't have any friends using Linux, so that would be counted as a Windows sale AFAIK. So, what should I do now?

Write the developers to put a donate button on their website. Or at least tell you where you can send them some extra "thank you" money. The usual reply "just buy another copy" won't work anymore. I honestly believe each developer should have such a button, because of sales and bundles. If they don't, they are losing money. I often want to pay some extra (but not necessarily a full price) as well.

I don't see anything to be hyped about. They didn't even suggest the core gpu driver would get ever opened. This is just a memory handling part. I don't think they even think about having a fully open stack. Their mindset seems to be a very secretive, "mine mine mine!" approach. Just look at what they do with GSync, GameWorks, basically everything. Closed and heavily optimized towards their company, not towards universal industry standards. The polar opposite of AMD. And as long as their approach pays them well, why should they change? Most customers quite clearly like their practices.

As someone who owns a gamepad but uses it rarely and never used any "configuration tool", what is this good for? Most games allow you to define the button actions in the game config menu, so why is this better/more useful/different? Thanks for explanation.

Quoting: EikeJust read the same on Steam, how often are you posting it?

And who wants 5000$ from you?

It's his first post. An aspiring troll, perhaps.

What does this mean?

Quoting: liamdaweMore than happy to answer that!

Someone on reddit claimed i was "ripping off phoronix" so I decided to close that off once and for all and show a shot of it in my own personal inbox: http://m.imgur.com/a/bClKd

Public mailing lists are easy to follow.

Thanks for your answer. I was wondering whether there's some rivalry going on by copying articles without sourcing, good to know it's not the case (at least from GOL side) :-)

@liamdawe I'm noticing quite a few articles which are very similar to the ones Phoronix publishes (almost simultaneously). I'm wondering whether GOL is sourcing Phoronix, or Phoronix is sourcing GOL, or whether it's just a coincidence and both sites are following the same origin (in this case, mesa-dev list, git repo, etc)? Because none of the sites add a source to the other in any of the articles. I'm not trying to imply anything or mean something ill, I'm just genuinely curious.

Quoting: buenaventuraI did turn everything possible off, as in I played at 800x600, all draw distances minimum, EVERY SETTING minimum including all the ones in config files, and it was playable until the dwarwen city, but that place is just too full off useless fires and shiny stuff :<

You probably already know this, but there's a LowSpecGamer channel on YouTube that contains useful tricks how to make new games run on very slow systems. For Witcher 2:

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare used to work quite ok, now it freezes in the main screen every time.
Screencheat often freezes in the main menu, but not every time. The sound continues to play, though, might be a game bug.
Magicka 2 shows graphical artifacts when taking damage.
Anomaly Warzone Earth never properly started for me (infinite loading), now when I try it it even freezes my desktop (but can kill it from a VT).
