I loved this game, interesting indeed!

I'm preferring the new look.

Thanks for all your dedication Liam. I don't know how you find the time with the constantly accelerating growth in Linux games releases :D
Sanctum 2 FPS/Tower Defence Hybrid Now Has An Open Beta On Steam

Seemed to work pretty well for me, considering the warning. Played through the intro level no problem but crashed to desktop at the start of the next.

Looks like it'll be a fun game when it's polished up and a steal at that price.
Have Mouse Problems In Unity3D Games On Linux? See Here For Fixes

For the record I run no DE with Compiz 0.8 as WM (Arch 64) and have no issues with Unity games. Not that I have many though. Screen res 1680x1050.

Unity 5 Announced With WebGL Exporting, Will They Fix Linux Mouse Woes?
19 March 2014 at 9:51 am UTC
The only Unity game I have (as far as I'm aware!) is "Sir, You Are Being Hunted" and I've never had this mouse issue. It's still in Alpha too. It's good to be aware of it though.

@stan - well I have no idea what's going on with your crazy setup :P but I've just tried the stock kernel from the repos and I got exactly the same frame rates as with -ck, maybe even 2 to 3 fps better.

Wow, didn't expect that. I know ck helps with desktop responsiveness generally but I didn't think it could make much of a difference in this sort of case.

Well you're heading in the right direction anyway! Happy gaming :D

And there's me thinking everything favoured Intel CPUs! I've always bought AMD CPUs purely because they've been better value for money (so far anyway - and always ones that aren't the latest, so reduced in price also).

As regards "ondemand" - I have up_threshold at 30 and "performance" is still noticeably zippier on the desktop (at least). Changing the governor is very trivial anyway. I'm running kernel 3.13.6-1-ck at the moment but this shouldn't be a factor.

Looking at the link you posted, there shouldn't be such a difference between our systems but at least you can play it :D SS3 Jewel Of The Nile was fun as well.

That's just bonkers - I'm Arch 64 as well.

I'm not very familiar with Xfce (even though I put it on my wife's laptop!), when you say you killed Compton did you try another WM or just turn off compositing? It might be worth trying Metacity as a test, I know that works fine here too.
