World of Goo 2 launches in May on the Epic Store - but Linux support from their website

Quoting: PyreticThis is, without a doubt, the weirdest way to provide Linux support... But I'm glad they thought of us???
It seems their stance is "Although we made an Epic deal, we still want to support Linux users!", and well... Thanks!

Lucky! Over here, you see cards for all of the consoles, then the Apple and Google mobile stores, and then a few cards to encourage children to go for microtransactions in titles like Minecraft and Roblox, but no Steam ones at all. :sad:
I think we've got all those too (though I cannot remember Roblox), but fortunately, Steam as well.
And it's got "Linux" written on it! :heart:

Quoting: PenglingAm I the only person who can't even find the physical wallet cards anywhere? All of the places that they list as UK stockists don't seem to actually carry them!

Like so many geeks, I'm frequently told that I'm difficult to get gifts for on traditional gift-giving occasions (and I always say they don't need to worry about it, and on it goes :tongue:) - physical Steam cards actually being available would be kind of helpful.

I'd be curious about the real "printing money": psychical wallet cards not redeemed.

I don't think Linux can currently compete on that front, but I look forward to being proven wrong.
I'm surprised. Why would you think there could be a problem for Linux on that front?

Quoting: drjomsIs multiplayer important for you? If yes, just use proton. My experience with native cross play was BAAAD. Windows/Linux players desync all the time.(same players played l4d2 no problem)
Not at all, no.

I basically stopped multiplayer games somewhere early in the Call of Duty series, when they stopped offering server browsers where I could choose an environment where toxic behaviour would have led to bans. I don't want to spend my free time with being insulted.

Over a hundred bugfixes, including several notorious 20-year-old bugs
I'd love that, as a software developer!

Quoting: EikeDid anybody succeed in making Riptide run natively on Nvidia?
I used the same launch options than for Dying Light because the artifacts were the same and it works.

 
__GL_IGNORE_GLSL_EXT_REQS=1 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%
Thanks! Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Which driver version are you using?
Sorry for the false hope then… I use the last stable 535.146.02 on 6.1.0-17.
Thanks for trying to help! The latest driver Debian is offering (on "experimental even") is 535.54.03, so I guess I'll save the launch option in Steam and revisit the game later.
