Quoting: HailToTheGrail

Quoting: CybolicI wish there was a way to not have to put in my password on every change, maybe someone knows how to work around that?

You could give setuid a try. Make a shell script as root, and then: chmod u+s script.sh
You should be able to run it as a user with it's owner rights, which are root.

No go on my Arch system. I've also tried editing the sudoers config file with visudo and using sudo instead, but that still asks for a password :/

Quoting: M@GOidFor a more easy way to change the settings, install the package "indicator-cpufreq"("sudo apt install indicator-cpufreq" for those of you in Ubuntu). It will show a icon in your taskbar were with 2 mouse clicks you can change to the Performance governor and back. I use it for both AMD and Intel CPUs for years and it works great, for any DE.

Seeing as this lovely utility seems to be missing from the Arch repositories, I whipped up this Argos script instead.

Quoting: CybolicIf only it ran at anywhere near acceptable framerates on my 3440x1440 screen, I'd love to jump on multiplayer but it's unfortunately a bit of a slideshow currently.

Uh-oh. This may apply to me too then.

I'm curious - what FPS are you seeing?

About 12 FPS with everything on low/ultra low/off and bloom turned off and 5 FPS with bloom on. This is on a GTX 970 OC where Total War Warhammer runs fluidly so there's definitely something up with the game.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTThe graphics looks pretty similar to the X series. Does it also play like that?

It's been a while since I played X, but as I remember it, not really. It's a bit more like EVE done in Minecraft.

EDIT: Everyone, please ignore that. It was a driver issue, not the game.

I thoroughly recommend supporting these guys! They whipped up a Linux demo during their Kickstarter campaign, despite not initially planning to support Linux, just because us fans were asking for it in the comments and chat; not only that, but they kept it up to date and added Linux as a target platform as a result.
Also, the game is already pretty fun and definitely feels like Descent (more so than Descent: Underground in my opinion).

Quoting: lidstahOne thing before war starts: these famous market share.

Let's do the math [...]

This a thousand times. It seems to be the one thing people always forget; just because the percentage drops, does not mean the overall amount of Linux gamers has dropped.

Also, it's not even a statistic of how many Linux gamers there are, but a statistic of how many got and answered the hardware survey.

Anyway, yay Strafe, buh not knowing about the Linux version.
To be fair, they never promised, only said that they would look into it later, so there's no real change.

Their publisher's website says:

QuoteBigben and studio Gloomywood unveil the release date of 2Dark, available on March 17th for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC.

Fuck these guys.

Oh! So it is coming to Linux and Mac after all! ( "PC" ) :P

But yeah, to hell with this publisher.

Quoting: tofuheadhmm, it's a shame, looked interesting. but all this talk about broken promises seems a bit odd, because doesn't it quite clearly state in the "promises" that they MAY do a linux/mac versions but are NOT making any promises yet.. ?

or am I reading it wrong? ... just wondering..

.b

There is only one use of the word "Linux" on their crowdfunding page and that's the paragraph that Liam copied in this article. Where did you read anything else?

Never mind, I saw your reply now :P

Hmm ... starts on the wrong monitor and freezes on the Keyboard/Gamepad screen; I think I'll wait until after EA.
