DRAG certainly seems like a promising upcoming racing game

Quoting: x_wingYou have to practice. The game seems to not have any driving assistance (out of the acceleration control) so a minimum error is catastrophic. Be gentle with the throttle, use the brake and search for the path where your wheels never loose grip (i.e. avoid loosing wheel contact with the floor as much as you can).
Beginner's question: Do you do full throttle from the start?

An update on Easy Anti-Cheat support for Wine and Proton

Quoting: g000hDon't think your point holds weight *because* cheating is easy on Windows.
I can't judge that part. But if they're fighting windmills already on Windows, I guess it doesn't matter if Linux joins in.

Quoting: DuncOh, yes. :woot: First impressions are everything I hoped they'd be. I love the quick, “just one more go” old-school arcade feel to it. And I'm amazed how well it runs on my no-longer-cutting-edge rig. Handling is slightly strange, I'll agree. But it may just be the car.

So come on then... times. :smile: Anyone manage a sub-30s run yet? I did a 30.4 and it nearly killed me.
I'm not a racer and fought hard to at least get under 32, but I also had this feeling of “just one more go”. :)

Quoting: Liam DaweI have now made "unofficial" bold as well as italic to make it stand out more but it was clear if people actually read that properly.
I missread that as "unofficial information on progress of work" instead of "information on progress of unofficial work".

I understand your annoyance with people not reading or understanding what you've already written, but I still think it's worth noting that this is reverse engineering stuff without any help of Epic with more than a word.

Yeah this doesn't involve the EAC team at all.

Sad to hear this, but still amazing news!
Very interesting, thanks for pointing out!

This should be added to the article IMHO.

Quoting: g000hI get quite irritated by the fact that the likes of Garry Newman and Tim Sweeney and other game developers suggest that the approx 1% Linux gaming market-share would in any way influence the amount of cheaters on their games.

Statistically speaking, if 10% of Linux users were cheating, then that is 10% of the 1% population, i.e. 0.1% of gamers. Comparatively, if you have 10% Windows users cheating, then that is 10% of the 99% population, i.e. 9.9% of the gamers. Even if every Linux gamer was cheating (*ridiculous*) then that would only amount to a max of 1% of the population.
If I as a Windows user would want to cheat, and it were hard on Windows and easy on Linux, I might just dual boot. I guess that's what they're fearing, not the 0.whatever%.

Quoting: WJMazepasI dont think so. I met a lot of old people in college and work that talk about all PCs that they used back in the times, and only a few use linux this days. I believe that a lot of then still have the ideia that linux its really complicated like those days
This doesn't suprise me. I just fear that among younger people, the result would be even (way) worse...

I played the demo through. Audio was bit choppy, but otherwise it worked fine.
I should have been more specific: I did get the download dialog, but nothing more.
Downloads now!
