Is anyone else getting this at ridiculously low speeds? I was getting it at 1KB/s earlier. Altered my settings a bit and now I'm averaging around 40KB/s. It's going to take more than a day to get what's remaining.

did you check to see if you are downloading from ireland and did you tell them you have cable (10mb+) and you dont have dl limits? Plug yourself into the modem by a cat 5 , just for testing if you are on wifi
also there is a strain on steam dl severs given it is the sale time as well

Edit: just done a check for you i am getting 3mbs which is slow but id say that becasue of the sale . You should be getting arround that.,

Khannie · 15-07-2013 10:52am

Yeah, had Ireland. It magically went back up last night to around 700KB/s (thankfully).

Can't get Portal to work.

Need to build a gaming rig. I depend on my laptop for everything, its a bit too much to depend on it for gaming aswell.

Khannie · 16-07-2013 5:55pm

I broke my steam.

I ran out of disk space on the partition that it was installed on, so I moved it to another one and softlinked it (like the internet told me to) and now it is arsed.

Even a bind mount and it wont run.

edit: nvm, fixed with a reboot. (the shame

)

Grudaire · 16-07-2013 6:22pm

Downloading too many games?! :pac:

:-D

Seems like all Linux games have some offer on!

Khannie · 16-07-2013 6:25pm

Buying games that I may never play more like. "Ah sure how can I turn it down at that price? I'll get around to it..."

bpb101 · 24-07-2013 9:39pm

oh yea , some people actual like dota 2 games so yeaaa... it was released their like last week and was made available for linux. Should have said that.. You can sign up now on the steam page and in a few days they will let you download it.

bpb101 · 25-07-2013 3:20am

Does anybody know how to get flash working for in games. For example this

bpb101 · 31-07-2013 6:07pm

It is something we are looking into.

Jully Stats.

Grudaire · 01-08-2013 5:07pm

Could 'Other' refer to any other OS other than Linux?

Well, Other was always there before linux , although always droping. If you look at Febuarys revised stats you can see it the best broken down. there is hints of older macs and windows that nobody uses , but they dont make up 0.25% and droping . I think its fair to say it mostly linux. hard one to call, But i would say if you count other as all linux it would compensate for the wine users

Ste_JDM · 01-08-2013 6:09pm

Looking good. Ive just had to rebuild my entire rig and reinstalled my Windows side. Ubuntu shall come soon. Might wait until 12.04.3 is out this month

I believe it was on a humble bundle a few months ago. you had to pay over the average though.

EDIT: nope , only the first one was.

Ste_JDM · 14-08-2013 5:04pm

The first one was free for awhile on steam before THQ went under. Would love if Deep Sliver released SR4 on linux.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is out on the 10th. It will be available on Linux

Ste_JDM · 27-08-2013 10:52am

Just a reminder guys. We have a Steam group for boards.ie

Lets organise a game night soon!

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/boardslinuxteam

Grudaire · 27-08-2013 11:18am

Can you invite 'grudaire' to that group please?

The only problem will be finding a game that everyone plays

Link us please. Search is impossible sorry.

Right a game.
Tomorrow night ?
L4d2? -I'm sure we would all have that.
4 to 8 players

Say here If you would like to play and say your steam name (if your added to the group)

At let's say 11?

I'll try to arrange a game of tf2 next week but would require a bit more planing.

Grudaire · 28-08-2013 1:37am

Jaysus - you're right about that search being atrocious

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198081279104/

Can't play tomorrow, but should be able to next week.

Grudaire · 03-09-2013 1:06pm

Anyone around this evening for a game?

Ste_JDM · 05-09-2013 7:51pm

Got Serious Sam but it maxed out my laptop... unplayable graphics

I'm also pretty crap at gaming

Ste_JDM · 08-09-2013 1:48am

Guys, thought I would pass this along. As you might or might not know, Canonical (the creators of Ubuntu) will be slowly changing their Display Server from Xorg (all distros use this) to their own made Mir. Ubuntu 13.10 will be the first release with this change, think of it as half Xorg, half Mir. Its XMir and by the time 14.04 LTS is released, Ubuntu will be Mir'd.

I bring this up because this matters to the Graphics Driver's for your machine. Nvidia, AMD and now Intel will NOT support XMir so if you are on a standard Ubuntu release and are planning to install 13.10... wait until we hear more. 13.10 is still just over a month away so it can still change.

If you are on any Ubuntu based distro's such as Lubuntu, or Linux Mint you need not worry. Every distro apart from Vanilla Ubuntu are staying on Xorg until the original successor (Wayland) is stable.

By the looks of it, if the main vendors go for Wayland, it will force Ubuntu to go that way too. Otherwise we will see either Mir drivers or Wayland drivers. How fun is that... -_-

I'm good for tonight.
Do you wants play l4d2 or something as something like tf2 or cs will just be us in a game rather than playing together ?

Ste_JDM · 08-09-2013 3:15pm

Left 4 Dead 2 and CS sound good!

Ste_JDM · 08-09-2013 11:33pm

Nice game of L4D2 tonight! But something seemed amiss with bpb here.

http://imgur.com/a/9YjJA

Either way! We should start having weekly games! L4D2 lacks any sort of in-game voice comm support for Linux though so I propose that we use another VOIP to get chatting. There is always TeamSpeak public channels (eek!) or Google Chat/Skype?

Any suggestions?

d31b0y · 09-09-2013 9:44am

I don't mind throwing a VOIP program on my AWS if the interest is there. It's running a test CSS server 24/7 at the moment anyway.

What would people want?
Vent / TS / Mumble?

Ste_JDM · 09-09-2013 11:42am

If it does not cost you anything then go ahead! I can imagine we will only have a max of 4-5 online at once. My vote would have to be TS3 but that is because I have not used the others.

I'm going to install CSS for later if anyone is around tonight.

d31b0y · 09-09-2013 2:50pm

OK, setup - [URL]ts3server://54.228.237.140[/URL]

And here is my steam profile, if anyone wants to add me
http://steamcommunity.com/id/d31b0y/

I mostly play CS:S

Ste_JDM · 09-09-2013 8:13pm

Awesome man! I'll get TS3 set up tonight. If anyone needs a hand with it I will gladly help.

Ste_JDM · 15-09-2013 10:49pm

Anyone around this week for afew games?

I played the new Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs on Linux from start to finish. It ran very well on the Open Source AMD drivers.
