Neat!
Is there something you can do about the frame-rate?
It's understandable if it's on the recording end of things.
I've tried recording games a few times and I've had similar issues.-

I am trying one tweak but if this does not work then it is unlikely. I have been recording under the supposition that is impossible.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

Me too! I'm so happy this came out for linux on day one!
Fantastic, I will watch this while preparing my classes today

So, I actually went through a small adventure to be able to play Xcom.
My computer is a bit below minimum specs (8G i7, GFX 550 -- hey, it was a strong computer when I bought it in 2012). I decided to try it anyway. The game run, but there were huge frame rate issues at minimum.
Checking out my specs, I noticed that my drivers were not active! Would that help? So I downloaded the newest drivers and... the system stopped booting (still worked from rescue mode). I found out that my entire OS was desperately out of date, so that "might" have been the reason (along with all the cruft that accumulates from 4 years of use).
After four hours trying different solutions (open source drivers, closed source drivers, OS updates, changing packages). I just decided to reinstall the system from scratch. Two hours to backup my personal files and install the new system, and everything was working peachy, including the newest drivers!
Except that now steam would not recognize my library... a bit more internet searching revealed how to move the games from the old library to the new one, and finally I manage to get it running! It runs surprisingly smoothly at minimal (I'm not playing Xcom for the graphics), and I've made it past the first black site.
Even my computer got XCOM'ed!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVVmAG0RXmo-

It's an error. I uploaded a few but they are not edited. They should be private.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

Ok, change of plans. Restarting again. I got no problems with this but I think my recording software has a memory leak that is contributing to some issues. :nod: I want high quality ish videos. (Can't improve my annoying voice), but this will work.
The first three or so videos will function as a tutorial of sorts. They do have story related information though. :nod:ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

Maybe skip the tutorial the first one where our squad members aren't in and throw me in first playable mission.-

That will likely bar you from being psionic. I can't pick troops until the third mission.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

If you get promoted by being up early, the game will randomly select your class unless i bring you along to have you not kill anyone.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

My Pic from Wraith's LP of XCOM is the first on the page [warning: lots and lots of images]http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... &start=350
I survived and even have a short epilogue:
"Major ActionDan was very unsatisfied with the pay earned during his time in X-COM. After the Alien War, he opened a toy company in New York City that released products based on his very accurate, personal experiences during the war. The company quickly became extremely successful, and today is the foremost producer of alien-themed toys and other child-oriented media in the US and Europe."
If you're still in need of cannon fodder (or VIPs [dark or not], I don't mind popping up as a random scientist or assassination target) sign me up. I'd rather have less of a wide jawline and maybe a hair pattern that wasn't so slicked back but also ~ same length and color. I'd also prefer a deeper shade of green armor that doesn't look as weighty. Go with an American nationality and voice I guess... and had a headband. Black gun? I'll leave any other cosmetics up to your discretion
Good Luck!I'll give you a moment to let that sink in-

My first play through was on Legendary, I lasted three months. My current play through is on Legendary again and I'm four months in and fingers crossed feeling good.
The early game is so much more forgiving then XCOM the first's, god bless the lack of thinmen and the inability of the troopers to one shot your rooks.Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up-

@AD, For this play through, I need a ranger to take over for tutorial ranger since my mafiascum rangers keep dying. So were body snatcher shift.
Dark VIP is blasphemy. It's reserved for anyone collaborating to take down mafiascum.
@Hiplop, just tell me what you want your character to look like.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

I have taken my first loss of my second run, her epitaph in the memorial is "Maybe grenading codex pods is a bad idea".
