I'll stick with my m68k for a few more years.

This is wonderful news. I still intend to change back to an AMD GPU (I mean I would even if I didn't use a Linux distro lol), but this will be of great use to me while I wait, and especially those who intend to stick with their Nvidia GPUs.

Great game!! Really recommend anyone reading to pick it up if it remotely seems like your kind of thing. Hopefully those issues get ironed out soon.

Very excited to see these 3D v-cache CPUs in action!

Quoting: soulsourceI still haven't finished the first one... Might be fun on the Deck though.

The Linux version of Psychonauts has been nothing but trouble and Windows version never worked properly with Wine for me, but recently I found a way to make it a bit better. If it doesn't work outta the box see if this helps:

If you do play it on the Deck, try swapping libSDL-1.2.so.0 in the game files for a 32-bit build of the sdl12-compat [External Link] layer. Lets old SDL 1.2 software use 2.0 :grin:
(Tip for anyone who needs it, build with these args: -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-m32" -DSDL12TESTS=0 -DSDL12DEVEL=1)

Just installed the game and did this myself, works so much better now. Before, with SDL 1.2, I couldn't even alt-tab.
You will still need to tweak the in-game settings and perhaps the .ini config file, but it's playable now!

Pardon the unprompted SDL advice, I just love Psychonauts to bits and couldn't resist trying to help someone make it run better on Linux :tongue:

Quoting: TrainDocGoddamnit is my legacy on this site a typo?

If it makes you feel better, you inadvertedly brought smiles to a ton of peoples' faces who all make tons of typos themselves, but all of which are not nearly as excellent as the one you made :grin:
I understand this might not feel great for some people but rest assured we're all hoping to laugh with you.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyPlease keep the typo in the spoiler. I love the idea of a "websire" even though I have no idea what it would be.

He briskly tip toed down the dank hollows of the corridor, with humming servers passing his ears as his eyes scanned the room dimly light by the flashing lights of CPU and DISK READ status lights flashing red and green glow along the decrepit ceiling, lighting up cables laced through vent grills like overgrown vines reclaiming the subterranean floor of the building.

"Hello?", the suited man called out as he adjusted his tie, while approaching the cloaked figure sitting before a collection of differently shaped monitors, scrolling waves of outputs through different terminal windows. The lights of the screens, casting a long shadow from a dark figure sitting before them, that crawled across the floor covered in cables towards the suited man tilting his head to the side as he tried to get a better look at the typing figure with his face buried in the screens.

"Websire.. I.. I have what you asked for..", he stammered as he approached the side of the typing man. The hooded figure turned in his chair, slowly, a squeak meekly whimpering from the ancient 20th century chair below him as he held out his hand.

" - are they, comma, seperated?", his voice hissed.

"Yes.. as you asked, CSV is formatted correctly, I made sure of it... Can you update the site by this afternoon?", the man said as he dropped the USB drive into the basement dweller's hand then stormed off.

"Also turn on some lights damn it, it's dark down here.", the boss said as he flipped the light switch while walking out to light up the messy room, drawing a screeching hiss from the web developer.

This is it, THE GamingOnLinux comment.

What's the difference between Lutris and Bottles? This looks promising.
Using the EA App to play Battlefield 4 via Lutris myself, and "on my machine" it works stellar (genuinely perfectly) until it has to update, at which point I need to reinstall it in a new prefix :P

Regardless, if anyone else reading this is wondering about it, for me it's much better than Origin, and I've been advocating its adoption pretty strongly for those still using that. Give it a shot first and then decide if it works out or ends up being the worst piece of crap you've ever used as well.

I installed it in a clean Wine prefix with nothing special installed, not even Mono, using Lutris Wine or GloriousEggroll's Wine.

Hey Ethan, big fan so it's cool to see you write here!
I hope Valve takes this to heart, and gets to work.

Sometimes I just need it bashed into my head, the fact that something is new, shiny and last but not least trendy tends to fly right over my head... Thank you for enlightening me =)
