Finally after a lot of requests and months of hard work we are launching SuperTuxKart on Steam Greenlight. We made a trailer showcasing the gameplay of the game featuring two new tracks, Cornfield...

Thanks (congrats on the mod position; haven't been here much the last few years)!

And re-bump. Might be I need to try other forums as well, but not sure where.

Bump (I hope that's allowed?)

Hi, after upgrading from Kubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 the general volume control no longer changes the alsamixer volume, which is really annoying for some applications that seem to talk to ALSA. I need to...

Not sure what you mean with "native language" - C++, Python, Lua and so on and so forth are as native to Linux as to Windows. The only language I know off the top of my head which isn't is C#, and...

Just for the record, SuperTuxKart which I'm involved with, despite being arguably "Linux-centered" due to its name and other Free and Open Source mascots being portrayed, have roughly half of our...

I have some cheapo PS2-lookalike Taiwanese gamepads which work just fine - you may want a little higher hardware quality but if you buy a knockoff those tend to be just standard controller which...

I'm honestly not sure, but the 0.6.x versions should work fine I reckon. 0.7.x might work as well but textures were getting larger at that point.
Yeah with an AGP interface it would not be worth it;...

Hi, you are probably experiencing issues due to the very low amount of VRAM available. I'd say 256 MB would probably be the bare minimum for running it at a decent speed, though there might be a...

Hmm no the container shouldn't really affect that I think. I tend to just use .avi as the filename/container. Try adding -sameq as well.

Try using -vcodec rawvideo but remember this will eat tens of gigabytes in just a few minutes. Then you can encode it in a more lossy format later.

With low requirements you should get a passively cooled card, like a ASUS GeForce GT 630 2GB Silent PhysX
You'll thank me later - no noise at all yet powerful enough for your uses. My brother bought...

For your purposes I also recommend NVIDIA as the best choice right now. AMD may become just as good or even better in a year but I wouldn't count on it really.

For people not doing a lot of...

PyGame is a pretty nice library to help create 2D Python games. For 3D Python games the best option is probably Panda3D. Probably more complex but that may be a good thing if you want to move to use...

HD4400 is definitely good enough for light 3D gaming - maybe not every option maxed out but the most important stuff like anti-aliasing should work acceptably. Good choice.

I've never seen it try to sync to anything less than the monitor refresh rate - if it gets under 60 FPS, it still renders at 40, 50 or whatever else it gets at the moment. Curious to know where you...

crazybiscuit: you know how vsync works, right? Unless there is a serious driver bug with it, it will not cause a game to visibly lag.

Yeah you will most likely want sync to vblank as that minimizes tearing when playing games you would get over 60 FPS with, assuming your screen has a 60 Hz refresh rate (which is the most common).

You don't need to uninstall it really, but if you want to you can remove it by removing the folder if you only compiled it locally, or if you used sudo make install, try sudo make uninstall in the...

Well I suppose most may have read already, but 0.8.1 is out: http://stkblog.net
Grab it while it's hot, or wait for Ubuntu 14.04.

Just going to say that Flight of the Amazon Queen is not an RPG but an adventure game. Similar genres but still distinctly not the same, especially since most old-school adventure games (including...

Battle for Wesnoth is more of an RTS than a RPG I guess but it's turn-based and needs very modest hardware.
Otherwise, you have Auteria which is free as in free beer but not in speech... not sure if...

Either try enabling Crossfire, or if it's enabled already try actually disabling it. Sometimes drivers mess up with more than one card even though they theoretically should make things faster.

[/INDENT]
Well this sounds all good and well in theory, but I'm still wary. Standards may be intentionally crafted to favour one or another even if others could potentially implement the same...

I'm not sure if the Mantle API will be good news at all - API's need to be vendor neutral and I'm not sure if this will be. Also consider how much retraining and reworking switching API's might be;...
