What are you playing this weekend?

It's the weekend already? Oh goodie! Time to dust off that game collection you've been neglecting due to work, school, family or whatever. Tell me what you're playing and what you think to it.

I am going to be playing a mixture of different games, but I am looking forward to properly diving back into XCOM 2 tonight which I have sadly let collect e-dust on Steam while I've been so busy with everything else.

XCOM 2 is just such a cracking time sink and all around great strategy game, love it.

I will also be playing Ballistic Overkill with the IRC crew tonight, so come join the fun. Might even livestream it so keep an eye on our Twitch to watch the silliness. Warning: We use rather colourful language when playing games online together. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I don't know You, but I don't like to do game zapping; once I start a game, I don't play another game till I finish it...
After finishing Dead Island Definitive (right now, I am on the second mission for mother helen), I will go for Riptide...

Sunless Sea. I can't stop! The game is definitely not for everyone, but I love it.

Dusting of Dying Light and starting Higurashi When They Cry.

Played through Transmissions: Element 120 last night (it rocked!).

Finally got around to building the latest git LLVM/Clang, and then using that to build the latest git Mesa with Gallium Nine, and then using that to build Wine 1.9.12 with the Gallium Nine patches. Took a while to figure it all out, but the performance I'm getting is amazing!

Can finally play Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Cryostasis, etc at 2560x1440 with all max detail settings and they run great! Even AMDGPU-Pro with normal Wine doesn't let me max out the detail settings at this resolution (and actually crashes when I try due to not having enough video RAM), so I'm very excited by all this.

Heck, I'm getting 67.6 FPS on average in Tomb Raider 2013, whereas AMDGPU-Pro only got me up to 48.0 with the same (normal) detail settings.

I was playing Dying Light under the proprietary drivers, but I'm going to put that aside for now until Mesa adds the remaining OpenGL features to get it working. If other games are any indication, it will be worth the wait!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Hearts of Iron IV. It's starting to make sense, and I thought I was doing pretty well as Italy... until I suddenly got annexed by a revolutionary army made up of my own people who wanted to enforce communism. I would have dealt with them, except I was locked in a bitter meat-grinder of a war with Switzerland, and I didn't have any troops to spare to fight off the threat.

After I played some Hearts of Iron IV last week, which was a little disappointing, this weekend I play Stellaris again. Have to try to get my mushroom people to rule the galaxy :)

But there is an other game I bought almost a year ago but never tried it. 12 Labours of Hercules III: Girl Power
The big surprise, after playing part I and II, this part III does not start. After some investigation, it turns out that this game segfaults. According to the steam forum this game never worked on linux. Even this is only a €2.99 game I thought writing to the developer can not be a bad thing and I actually got an answer after only an hour with the following text: "We'll update linux builds soon!"

Not sure what I should think about it. Maybe there really did not know there was a problem.

@boltronics
Do you have a link with a description how to build wine? I tried but there is a problem with the freetype dev lib because it can't be installed in 64 and 32 bit. Most games need the 32 bit wine version. (I could use a chroot environment but it will take some work to setup one.)
I like to try A-Trains 9 again. It works but has some very annoying background flickering which makes it impossible to play for more the 3 minutes.

In a strange reversal I just finished the entirety of Doom 3 after going through almost half the game in one glorious four hour stretch of violence and glory.

Quoting: id Software PDAThanks to Id fans everywhere .. special mention to Mac/Linux players and European gamers.

It's been a wild ride .. I look forward to the future.
