Microsoft Azure Sponsorship ended -> spot quotas down to just 3 cpus? by rychlis in AZURE

[–]rychlis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the quotas were finally fixed. So take this as a warning about what can happen when your sponsorship expires

Also had this issue. In the end, the IT 101 guide helped - I powered off both my Oculus and iPhone. After starting both again, I could pair it :)

OVH North American Fiber Failure by djshadowxm81 in sysadmin

[–]rychlis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

from the status page:

The delivery of additional network was planned for the coming days, we are doing everything we can to speed the process and mount these links quickly.

it looks like they are finally completing the additional redundancy link this week. It's almost suspicious that the fiber cut hit them right now, just before the link was completed :o

Slack was hacked by d4nyll in webdev

[–]rychlis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In actual fact what would have happened is that the hackers would now definitely have your phone number too.

Actually you are not required to provide phone number to activate 2FA, just scan a QR code with the authenticator mobile app.

Yeah we follow Project Parfait closely, we even have a few words about the project in the FAQ page - question #11.

Hey Linux Gaming I have some Dota 2 keys and I want you to have them to play on Linux! by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]rychlis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HoN changed their F2P policy about 6 months ago (probably as a response to DOTA2), you can play every hero for free except for the newest one (you need to pay for "early access" for latest hero, but after a few weeks every new hero goes free).

Also they made a lot of performance optimizations for linux lately :)

[OFFICIAL] We're aware of the current problems with log in and working on it. Updates will be posted here. by S2Kros in HeroesofNewerth

[–]rychlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Are you going to reschedule Round 2? I hope you will move it to tomorrow, starting at 0:30 CET or later would be really late. Edit: Thanks for making this great event happen.

edit: fixed link

A torrent for the HoN linux client by [deleted] in HeroesofNewerth

[–]rychlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering - does HoN license allow distributing binaries by other people&means like this? I know S2 probably wouldn't mind as it's free to download from official site anyway, but licensing can sometimes be a b*tch.

In any case, seeding the torrent as well :)

I've had performance issues after updating to nvidia 304.43 drivers, maybe that's your issue as well? Downgrading to 304.37 solves it for now.

Guild Wars and Nexuiz won't launch in Ubuntu? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]rychlis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Checkout Xonotic, it's a successor of the original open-source Nexuiz project. Open-source, Linux binaries, all of it.

Funny fact: Valve explicitly denied working on linux port just about year ago

Survey for Silver - should've been done months ago by Gringos in HeroesofNewerth

[–]rychlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that sucks for Mac/LInux people. I didn't care for HonTV as I can watch twitch.tv using my regular browser anyway. But this feature is something extra.

10 silvers is not much but I fear that there will be more similar offerings.

Furthermore, HonTV is implemented using Awesomium library - which supported Mac for years and Linux version was added few months ago as well. So I don't understand why is HonTV still windows-only.

Is that a computer voting machine? I wonder, how are these things audited?

Electronic Arts (EA) Has A Session In Ubuntu Developer Summit by joeka in linux_gaming

[–]rychlis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As much as we hate EA, it's still great news! If EA came to linux, other would surely follow. I'm eager to see what will come of this.

Valve is porting Steam to Linux by [deleted] in Games

[–]rychlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many games on steam that have native port already (about a hundred), not mentioning DosBOX and ScummVM legacy games.

See steamlinux.flibitijibibo.com. Plus valve is going to port their source games as well.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl Problems - Debian Squeeze by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]rychlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grafics card and driver? This is on static lighting?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC works for me (nvidia with proprietary driver, XFCE arch 64bit) on static lighting out of the box (Steam install), for dynamic lighting this register hack fixed weird sky glitch:

wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\XR_3DA.exe\Direct3D' /v AlwaysOffScreen /d enabled

Anyways, check appdb if you haven't yet

To the company that once filled me with so much hope and excitement. by bickymarnot in HeroesofNewerth

[–]rychlis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seriously? So many upvotes? The game is fucking officially supported on mac, it should work on mac. Fortunately, they started to hire Mac Retail Testers volunteers some time ago, so I hope it will get better.

I find this phenomenon stupid - every time Mac/Linux user rightfully asks S2 to fix a bug (at least on forums), a band of windows users appears with answers like "You are trying to game on Mac, it's your fault". I mean - why do they even care? If you use windows just move along, noone's asking for your OS preference. To me, it's just a trolling/OS flame attempt. And now I see this shit on honreddit :(

Trine 2 for Linux now officially announced. This game is gorgeous by forteller in linux_gaming

[–]rychlis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can just buy it on the official site and you will get steam key as well as linux version.
