Prepare your space legs for X4: Split Vendetta and the massive 3.0 free update

Quoting: Patola
Quoting: pete910Well it does have profiles for a few including the warthog, You can set customise buttons fine however, Trying to change axis like rudder ect does not work at all.

No idea as to why.
What axes are you trying to change? Can you describe them in detail? I wil try to reproduce here.

Notice that if you have a HOTAS kit that has more than one device plugged to the computer, you must inform them in the input device configuration. I do that because I use my G29 pedals along with the X52.

Any of the analogue axis that wont bind.



If you go into the settings and delete say throttle then try to rebind it to a different axis it fails.

It works fine as the profile is set as.

Time to wait...

What you got ?

Personally have a warthog, With the 3 patch out I will give X4 another go.
This one:

Didn't really want to go for the most expensive ones as I don't know how much I'll actually use it.
But that one reportedly works well on linux, and seems to be "good enough" quality, so I guess I'll be fine.

Good choice, IIRC it uses HALL sensors too, seems to be well recommended my Elite/SC players.
I read that X4 support for HOTAS is not that great, unfortunately.
Is that correct?

NVIDIA have a new Vulkan Beta Driver out for Linux - helping DOOM Eternal on Steam Play

I say more like a NV driver issue or AMD/Intel would have had to do same.

QuoteAdded a workaround for Linux Steam Play title DOOM Eternal, which overrides application requested memory locations
Wait, WHAT?!
In other words, "DOOM Eternal" has instructions to specifically place resources in system RAM instead of VRAM if ran on Linux? I mean, Windows® users do not encounter the "resources are in RAM" issue, that mean developers deliberately wrote the application to misbehave on Linux. That's a sabotage!



How you come to that conclusion when it's fine on AMD in linux.

Think you need to take the tin foil off

Quoting: scaineThat's us broken into the top 2000 contributors, world-wide. Which is pretty crazy given that we're a 1% niche of the video gaming industry.

:O

I think what's helped is there's a good few of us that have fairly hefty PC's and a couple at the top that are probably on HEDT/Server grade hardware.

:D

Quoting: pete910Anyone noticed a lack of work units today ?
Well, I do have a bunch of messages about it, but it only lasts for a couple of minutes between work assignments. I've been folding all day with very few interruptions.

That was what was happening to me but for most of the day not had any.

Edit,

Now I've just posted that it has now got some
