I absolutely loved BL1 (for innovation) & 2 (for script), also because they were some of the first real native ports (done by Aspyr, IIRC) of blockbuster titles for Linux. You can't really find a more likeable main villain than Handsome Jack. TPS was a bit of "more of the same", with some clear signs of Lilith being the real villain of the saga. TFTB was nice, but a bit too "corridor" narration to my taste. I found BL3 rather bland, with characters trying too hard to be borderlandish while lacking the over-the-top features of their predecessors. After the movie, I'm positively afraid that BL4 will be the first BL I'm going to positively avoid.

Finally, I'm not sure about the graphic technology Gearbox will use, but this could be the last nail in the Pandora coffin for me: no cell shading = no Borderlands.

Today they also released an hotfix, whose first item reads "Fixed an issue with mouse & keyboard controls when playing Enshrouded on Linux."

This dedication is something we should be happy about.

Excellent, another year of self-inflicted poverty awaits.

Thank you, master Gaben.

I leave my PC always on, with Steam running. I'm doing my part in skewing the stats! :grin:

As for the played games, the usual ones:

EVE Online
Seven Days to Die
The Front
Pax Dei
Shroud of the Avatar
GTAV
Elite: Dangerous
Shakes & Fidget (often forgotten running)

Besides the usual games I love (EVE, 7Days, Elite, The Front until they broke it), I reinstalled and re-fell in love with an ancient masterpiece.

Unreal Tournament 2004 + ECE, native, fully working in 4K is absolutely perfect. Almost 20 years later, it's still pure bliss to play.

But it only deepened my love/hate relationship with Epic. The makers of the greatest 3D engine ever, yet an awful company for everything else.

Oh, and icculus/Ryan is godlike, like the bots I got all my trophies against.

Quoting: EhvisAny notable remaining issues that weren't there in 525?

Elite: Dangerous/Odyssey U16 still has massive graphic corruption and all kind of startup issues w/Proton Experimental. None of them were in 525 on my 1080Ti. I'm testing some envvars/startup tricks if I can find a way to play without reverting to nv525, but no luck so far.

Why Valve keeps on hating us Linux players with 4K+ displays?

Why?

I know, there's a workaround and I'm happily (*) using it. But it's a workaround. I don't want workarounds, I want the XXI Century to knock on someone's door and introduce itself to devs.

(*) - for a very, non-overlay definition of happy.
