Quoting: KohlyKohlWhen you pick a few heroes you want and they never show up again, that is a big issue in my opinion.

You can also say that you failed to plan for alternatives. Since the sell price of one star heroes is the same as the purchase price, you can store stock a few alternatives.

Sure you can sell level one heros but that doesn't mean the next hero you get will come up either. I stand by that this game isn't fun because of the complete randomness of it. As far as I can tell, there is little skill involved with this game.

I've had several games where all I needed was one more of a heroes to get a three star hero. 20 rounds later and I'm still waiting on that hero...

Another good example is items. If you are lucky enough to get the brawny item and lucky enough to get some good brawny units no one will beat you.

There needs to be a more skillful way to pick heroes and items.

It was fun for a few days but the RNG nature of this game gets old fast.

Quoting: AdamVikingenGives me flashbacks to Warcraft 3, cant wait to try it out!

My thoughts exactly!
I really miss Warcraft 3, I'm excited for this one! :)

Then you should come back and check out Warcraft III again. I still play it and it has a decent user base still and lots of pro players.

Also, they moved over to DirectX11 and it runs really well under Linux now with DXKV.

That's great, I wasn't aware of that. I will definitely check it out, thanks :)

If you are just getting back into it I would check out Grubby's popular stream: https://www.twitch.tv/followgrubby [External Link]

Quoting: KohlyKohlRTS is my favorite genre and it was very disappointing when this game came out and was very boring to play. Has this improved in the last couple of years of updates?

I'm not sure, but am just curious what you feel are your favorite RTS titles on Linux.

I play a lot of Warcraft III, which runs really well these days, 0 A.D, and Dawn of War III.

Yeah the upkeep and small armies is one of the better mechanics in Warcraft III.

If I can run this on my Switch or Roku I'll think about it.

Would be nice to make use of my wired network for once.

For me, it is the opposite. I play mostly during the week and rarely on the weekend.

This week I played a lot of Total War: Three Kingdoms and the new patch for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne with Vulkan.

Quoting: iiariI'm amazed there's that strong an RTS market out there given the mechanics haven't changed all that much over time. I guess people have to love the setting...

I think if you're the sort of person to get into these games, then the subtle changes to the mechanics will substantially affect how they're played. I mean yes, field an army, but then how good are ranged troops, cavalry, artillery types, is there magic, subterfuge, etc etc etc.

I played the Warhammer titles, and each race plays very differently. So I suspect this one plays different again to anything from those, but I can't compare to previous Total War titles.

It also helps that the Vulkan ports run so much smoother. I refrained from older titles because I knew they wouldn't really run proper - so I'm still considered "new" to the Total War series, and I'm sure many who buy and play this one are in the same boat (i.e haven't play much Total War before).

The last total war game that I played before this one was the original. After playing this one, I may pick up Warhammer 2.

Quoting: trawzAwesome! I was playing A Hat in Time through Proton, but the performance was quite bad. Switched to d9vk and it was incredibly fast, but I experienced some crashes. Seems those are fixed now!

Yes! I also once tried that game but with the same issue as you described. I need to check it out as well! :D

I wondering when Lutris will add D9VK support :woot:

There are some games that already have support. For example, Sims 4: https://lutris.net/games/the-sims-4/ [External Link]

That thing worked flawlessly on a Intel HD 520 (i3 6006u)... no clue how that is possible.

A quick look at the installer tells me that they just download the 0.11 release from github, extract it and copying it to the DXVK runners "~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/d9vk-0.11/" and set the version to d9vk-0.11 like @KohlyKohl said before that it can already be done manually. So the installer takes care of it for you. :D

But I never knew that this was possible by the installer to achieve. And I already wrote a few Lutris installers :D
You learn always something new :D

The StarCraft II installer is a great example of how to achieve this with an installer in Lutris.
