Hello fellow opensource gaming fanatics on lemmy! I follow this project since close at the beginning and finally made my account :D

I am glad to announce that onFOSS-LAN is going PUBLIC and thought you guys might be interested! But what is it? onFOSS-LAN is a online, FOSS-LAN-Party hosted by myself since 2021. The goal is to get people together, enjoying the art of computer games and having a great time in these days.

So if you are interested to play together with nice people, enjoying our well known opensource games and maybe want to get competitive in tournaments? Then you can call onFOSS a new home!

The upcoming onFOSS-LAN will take place on 17.04.2021 beginning at 11:30am CET and lasts until open-end. The tournaments are starting at 2:00pm CET and registration will take place at the beginning of each tournament. If you want a fix reserved slot, write me in advance ;-)

All info and the full time-plan can be found here: https://onfoss.hribhrib.at/

If you have any questions, write an email to onfoss@hribhrib.at or join our XMPP-channel “xmpp:onfoss@conference.hribhrib.at?join”.

    AFAIK there is a custom FOSS one.

    Veloren might not run on that low end hardware, but it runs surprisingly well on a 2016 intel gpu.

      OpenSpades: a tutorial to change master-server (for the server list) in the app (I don’t see that tweak exposed directly) would be interesting also to make it fully FLOSS.

      Veloren: Intel Celeron N4000 is a 2017-2018 (2017 Q4) processor in which I tested it too and also doesn’t run well. I have also tested it in two computers with Intel Celeron N2XX processors, which I must check the year, and don’t run Veloren very well.

      I have tested it with tweaked config too, to the bare minimum being viable to play, and there are still big performance issues in most scenes but sometimes in certain limited places run pretty well.

      Additionally, I tried to compile the source code for x86_32 and finished with errors in the own code (using recommended Rust compiler version, etc).

      I have also a question about what is the main development channel as they don’t reply so much in the Matrix channels. AFAIK, one of the rooms in Matrix was linked to Discord and got unlinked during a time because of issues with the bridge. I think this was solved for that room in the end.

        Sadly the main communication channel for Veloren is their Discord guild.

        Hmm, I guess the intel GPUs in the Celeron line are especially bad then. I was talking about those found in a mobile i5/i7 from 2016. Or maybe a Windows issue? I never game on Windows as driver support is just bad there, compared to Linux (I am not even joking, sadly).
