Some thoughts on switching from Ubuntu to Antergos for Linux gaming
19 January 2017 at 6:44 pm UTC

Quoting: JudasIscariotI don't know about Vsync but as someone who uses Antergos daily since I first installed it, our Linux installers have no issues installing on Antergos. I've verified this with quite a few Linux native games myself :)

I am going to build a side gaming rig this weekend and test it out.

Some thoughts on switching from Ubuntu to Antergos for Linux gaming
19 January 2017 at 12:16 pm UTC

I've been on Ubuntu Mate for about 2 years now. Left Linux Mint on my main gaming rig. I use Lubuntu on some of my older rigs and machines. I've not had any issues with Pulse Audio or the like. Were you are on Ubuntu or some derivative? I've found Ubuntu problematic for me in the past. The DE does not help me get to what I need to go and there are many lib files I had to install to game properly.

I have questions for Antergos users:

* How are installs from GOG library?
* Is Vsync automatically dealt with like on Ubuntu Mate?

I log on to Origin when they give out free games in hopes of a future Linux release. That's about it with them.

Itch.io is really growing on me. I recently purchased a game to show my support towards a dev. The amount of freeware that is available and working is a good catch. They also have multiplayer versions of games that are either single player only on STEAM or only allow 2 to 4 players while itch.io offers up to 8 players.

There are a lot of devs on there using Linux too. I hope that it gets even more support.

How To: An update on fixing screen-tearing on Linux with an NVIDIA GPU

I am on 367.45 driver on my main gaming rig. I've had no visual tearing but this is due to using Compton on Ubuntu Mate 16.10 64 bit with some startup settings enabled.

Outside of the issue I mentioned - What is keeping this game in the state it is in right now? How soon before full release?

When it comes to STEAM every FPS player is going to be playing the known top games:

TF2
CS:Go

Everything else is splintered.

I bought the game but quickly got a refund. I like it a lot but there is a serious problem in the game. When you play a team based match and one team gets the lead - the other team can stay in the safe room and spam nades til time over. It happened many times in my brief time in the game. So I went back to deathmatch til a friend got the game and we tried team based games again and it was being done. Players camping out in the safe room and popping out to kill attackers with nades and going back in.

Perhaps a no camping penalty needs to be implemented.
