Because this conversation is simply not going anywhere I've decided to shut down the comment section for this article. If you wish to continue this conversation you can always start a forum thread on our forum about it.

Quoting: HadBabits33:30 "Woah, that was pure luck"

Actually that was the lightning reflexes perk :P

Still, nice strategizing, Samsai :D

Oh, I forgot about that perk completely! :D

Quoting: Astro

Quoting: edddeduckferalI know you are of the opinion all software should be 32bit supported and our decision to openly support only 64 bit only with XCOM has upset you greatly. We have always tried to help you, we offered advice on how to request a refund when you missed the Ubuntu 64bit requirement on the Steam store page and we also have offered to answer any questions you might have on 32bit/64bit if you send us an email with them all in to help you understand why we developed a 64 bit version.

I don't want to turn this comments page into a debate on 32/64 bit OS, the last time I saw this happen on the Steam forums it got out of hand with people taking sides and nothing constructive is gained from it.

It's how you treated customers I didn't like. Personaly, I'm not sure if I want to play XCOM even if it will be ported on 32-bit OS. If there was explanation back then instead of almost complete disregard and agreement among the other who said that 32-bit OS users are just a bunch of loosers and it's cool don't pay attention to them, I'd have said nothing.

Where have they ever said that they agree that 32-bit OS users are losers? They were very clear that they only supported 64-bit operating systems and IMO they have treated their customers with proper respect. How can you say they have disregarded you and been silent when one of them has been here chatting with you?

I'd suggest you get that refund and completely ignore the game. This conversation is simply going nowhere.

I did some research about the history of Linux gaming some time ago and played a bit of xbill along with other games to get some background footage.

Quoting: drmothReally, one of the major reasons for not running 32-bit is RAM. Even if you have 4GB, your 32-bit system can only read about 3GB of it! Please upgrade people!

My system properties state "Memory: 5,8 GiB" as well as "OS type: 32-bit". My system is using all the 6 GB I'm providing it, isn't it?

It's just not possible. If you are in 32 bits you only have 2^32 possible memory adresses.

What's happening on my system, then? AFAIK, it's not using PAE or anything (I just learned of its existence last week).

It must be using PAE. Otherwise it's just not possible for your OS to address that much RAM.

If you can get through all the traffic, the game is now on sale with a -75% discount on Steam.

Quoting: AnonymousAt least back up a proof that nVidia actually said that idiot...

nVidia claim that they are working on Wayland

You can get your point across without without having to use the word "idiot". We are trying to be a friendly community here.

I already have the complete edition, so I don't need it. Just trying to help us reach 200 comments.

If for some reason the RNG chooses me, then give the game to the person below me.

Quoting: edoCivilization 4 is in my Linux library too. What does that means?

Either someone made a mistake or they've been working really hard with the Civilization series. Aspyr was also behind the Mac port of Civ IV so it's not completely impossible that they would port it to Linux too, especially now that they've already gotten familiar with Linux porting. So far we haven't heard anything so don't be too hopeful.

Quoting: Mikeanychance of a GOL multiplayer?

My last game took me 5 hours (I didn't want a military victory, and the DLCs were not installed yet), on the smallest map, with the fastest speed. And the difficulty was not high.
I once did a game on the biggest map... it took me nearly 6 months!
But I never played multiplayer in CIV V (only CIV II), it may be different?

Sounds about right. That game I showed you on the video took me a total of 10 hours to complete. I could have gone a bit more aggressive and finished it in possibly 7-8 hours, but I wanted the nukes and eventually went for the science victory instead of domination.
