Quoting: slaapliedje
Quoting: whizseYeah yeah lightning... What about their willy physics!?
I'm not even interested in a game without willy physics!

(This is sort of an inside joke. Back in the day, at the beginning of the 3d acceleration age, I had gotten a Voodoo 1 card (Pure3d, had 6mb of ram instead of the typical 4, because I knew how to research hardware!). Friend of mine made a comment of 'I don't care about the graphics, as long as the game is fun.' Then I showed him how Unreal looked on 3Dfx. It was mind blowing back then. He changed his tune after that and said that he wouldn't play a game unless it looked amazing... strange dude.)

Sounds like your friend was ahead of the curve!

Oh man, the 6mb card. All I had was the 4mb. Now I'm gonna question all my life choices...

Quoting: Purple Library GuySure you wouldn't pay a few dollars more?

Only if the game is good, not bad and ugly.

Battle.net broke in Wine / Proton - here's how to fix for Steam Deck / Linux
1 Dec 2023 at 3:56 pm UTC Likes: 3

Quoting: GuestBlizz always seemed to have an almost official unofficial support a way, remembering back to the never released Linux builds from around Wrath and something else I can't dig up about working around some things when WINE was detected.

Sam Lantinga (Loki and SDL creator) worked for Blizzard for quite a while. Not sure if he maybe influenced their approach to Linux and Wine?

GE-Proton 8-25 released, should fix a bunch of early 2000s games

Quoting: neolithHas anyone tried and had any more success of running Crimson Skies?

It is indeed a regression. It's fixed in the upcoming Wine 8.22 release.

This is the fix [External Link] in case you want to poke GE about it.

Unfortunately the game have other issues, it crashes after missions [External Link].
