Change log for those updating from Gamma:
- Prevent missions softlocks when switching servers from A->B->A without disconnecting from A
- Check if we should use the neutron star's version of the bolometric luminosity first to prevent soft lock
- Avoid crash in creating a location object when it hits a rare window
- Sky box view distance altered to reduce memory usage in highly populated regions

I believe there is an app for it. Pretty sure Redeye is using Pop! OS and gaming on it.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 26, 2022, 00:13:It's a pain in the butt for non-native Linux games. I don't even have time to game!
I have yet to give Apple a penny of income, so I see no reason to start now. BoP will tell you Linux does games just fine, he may be right. But I'm too lazy at this point to switch.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 26, 2022, 00:01:I really macOS and Linux had much softwares like games.
Definitely with you on that. I haven't seen a single good thing about Win11 to date.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 23:32:Yeah, we were forced especially for computer gaming. I ain't touching W11 until I'm forced!
Yep, it was 64 bit, Win7 for me too. Only went to Win10 when I got the new PC.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 23:22:Which video card and Windows version? I was still on reliable 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 and ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB of VRAM). I got lucky with another friend gave me his unwanted used GeForce 750 GTX Ti (2 GB of VRAM) at work when video cards are difficult to get! I was fine with it! It's better than the onboard Intel GPU!
Yeah. I tried updating my video card, but Windows was being difficult. After messing around with it for a bit, I gave in and sent the card back. Still the Nvidia 660 GTX did me well for a long time...
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 23:09:I was surprised how long it lasted just keeping it clean and not gaming so much like I used to. Its EVGA motherboard decided to suicide during that last clean up. It was booting up and then kept locking up even in BIOS screen! And then, it refused to boot up anymore. I was supposed to use it for my new Linux PC to replace the 12 years old Debian Jessie v8 PC. :~(
Damn, beat me. I bought a new PC in May 2020, but my previous rig was only 7.5 years old.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 23:01:That is what I do with lots of things these days. Hence, why I finally upgraded my primary decade old PC last year.
I use a Thrustmaster T.Flight -- it seems to get mixed reviews but worked like a charm for me. I have over 700 hours using it and had no problems. After a while I considered "upgrading" to one of the more expensive setups, but decided -- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 22:46:Nope. Keyboard, mouse, and joystick. Nothing like the one they had in Frontier's booth with hits throttle, joystick, etc.
Since you aren't doing VR are you at least using a HOTAS? Definitely adds to the experience.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 22:09:It happens to me.
Ah... I see said the blind man.
Mr. Tact wrote on Feb 25, 2022, 22:03:Oh, look at the left side in its "All-Time Threads" section.
Your link... I thought it was going to show a list of the top threads or something, but it just goes to a choose a date function. So, I just made a random guess at what you meant to show us... which I thought might be some theoretical thread post limit...
