Once again you have come through with a smashing first day. We are just 11 hours into the campaign and have already achieved 50% of Kickstarter goal for the Bard's Tale IV. I must also thank my many industry friends who have supported us through their social media campaigns. This list extends to our so called competition like Obsidian, Larian, Harebrained, Cryptozoic, Otherworld, Portalairum, Razer and so many others. The concept of game companies supporting each other in such a grand scale was unheard of many years ago. Our relationships have grown closer with you and the development community, the way it always should have been. Our 24 hour promotion for free copies of Wasteland 2, or The Witcher, or The Witcher 2 continues on until 6am PST tomorrow morning, so make sure to tell your friends before it runs out. With Wasteland 2, we're happy to have people enjoy the fruits of our first Kickstarter campaign as a company as we hope to keep these going for a long time to come.

It's a very promising project made by creators of the original Ultima Underworld classics. And they just added Linux release to their base goal!

The Hydlaa Plaza / Witcher 2 giveaway

If anyone wants a free code for Witcher 2 on GOG, please comment (first-come, first-served). I have the game already so I don't need the code, but some fans of RPGs here can find it useful.

Presentation by Jacob Appelbaum from the 30th Chaos Communication Congress: https://youtube.com/watch?v=b0w36GAyZIA

Really worth watching, but it can have a depressing effect.

Linux Specific Issues / Optimizing PS performance with OpenAL.
« on: November 28, 2013, 02:32:40 am »
I found an option in OpenAL which seems to noticeably improve performance of PlaneShift. It sets OpenAL to use memory mapping and according to the documentation it should reduce latency and CPU load.

Code: [Select]
## mmap:
#  Sets whether to try using mmap mode (helps reduce latencies and CPU
#  consumption). If mmap isn't available, it will automatically fall back to
#  non-mmap mode. True, yes, on, and non-0 values will attempt to use mmap. 0
#  and anything else will force mmap off.
#mmap = true

So, to enable this, edit your $HOME/.alsoftrc and set mmap to true there.

Code: [Select]
mmap = true
I also noticed that default config in /etc/openal/alsoft.conf in my Debian sets alsa as a primary driver, while I'm now using PulseAudio, so this also can be modified, by setting the drivers order in $HOME/.alsoftrc accordingly (or you can simply set it to pulse only):

Code: [Select]
drivers = pulse, alsa
