Worms games are mostly junk on Linux. At least on Mesa. I don't remember which one I managed to get working, but it was not a pleasant experience. Cannot recommend.

Quoting: EikeCool! Is it well done? Realistic?

It is pretty accurate, yes.

Quoting: DuncETS2 is a great example of what I was saying the other day about getting real places right without having to slavishly copy every detail...

Completely agree. The place was instantly recognizable to me. They even included billboards in the native tongue. Most seem to be Google translated though. :)

Quoting: DuncPity about the weather effects and framerate issues. The static screenshots look amazing.

I don't know. The screenshots don't look much like the actual game to me. They are at least very carefully selected...

I have all the graphical issues discussed in the article, plus I get crazy white and green flashing screen unless I enable Temporal AA. My Vega 56 can force through the acceptable framerate most of the time, but just barely.

A bit disappointing to say the least. But I don't want to be a naysayer. Dirt Showdown runs great and Witcher 2 got better in the end. So I am hopeful that I will be able to enjoy MXGP3 eventually.

Quoting: ArdjeThere will always be people that judge you for certain games you own...

You can always set your game list to private. Also I highly doubt anybody cares as much as you imagine they would.

I was sceptical at first, but I think I am slowly becoming a believer. Steam contains a huge library of older games that will never get a native port. Some of them don't even run on new versions of Windows. But with Proton they can resurrect these games for a new life. And I think there might be a substantial market here.

Unfortunately this has to do as much with our small numbers as the culture of the devs.

As a (non-game) software developer I have been in several projects where we had a mixed team using Windows, macOS, and Linux. As long as we kept a little bit of discipline, and made sure not to break things for each other, it was quite painless to cooperate. But as soon as the team changed to users of the same platform, some small incompatibilities started sneaking in.

Linux support is not a one time task. It's as process.

I keep hearing about these key stealing bots. Does anyone have any references to how they actually work? Is that even a thing?
