Quoting: LachuWhy option to use dedicated GPU are added? Games like that should not need many GPU power, is not?

It's just a simple one-liner added to the .desktop file, so why not?

You can still download it directly from Blizzard. But you need Battle.net (an account and the software).

I don't think it was offered in any other form, even back in 2017?

Quoting: GroganI'll keep testing. I don't know enough about wine debugging to report it. I'm not getting anything I understand (just the usual invalid page fault crap and a bunch of meaningless offsets etc. without debugging tools). Yes, we know, my game crashed :-)

git bisect?

Those people, armed with dinosaurs? I share the sentiments of EHJ.

I have nothing of value to add, except to say that I love opposite land. In opposite land I'm pretty! :tongue:

Quoting: MarlockThanks!
I've tried finding out how good or bad linux support is for that chip but found nothing...

...so I'm probably being as blind in that task as I was finding out which chip it is, LOL

Unless I'm reading this wrong, that chip in turn uses the Qualcomm QCA206x Wi-Fi 6E chip [External Link].

Annoyingly I can't find anything about Linux support for that one either...

Quoting: PenglingStill, that does make the case of Hotshot Racing an odd one, as it's flawless, but rated Unsupported.

If you check SteamDB [External Link] for the detailed compatibility report it was evaluated quite a while back, 24 February 2022. A quick skim through the bug tracker confirms it was broken back then.

I'm not sure how often Valve re-evaluates games, but I bet there's quite a backlog.

Quoting: tuubiMono is short for mononucleosis, which has no connection to herpes.

I mean, it is caused by the Epstein–Barr virus which technically is human gammaherpesvirus 4. But it sure doesn't carry the stigma of genital herpes, and I have never heard of anyone catching glandular fever being described as having herpes...

Anyhow, these confusions surrounding names tend to be quite localized. Around here I think MonoGame would probably be construed as something involving sound for games (mono as a single channel audio) or possibly a game engine made explicitly for single player games (mono as synonym to single)?

Native Spanish speakers would probably not be as confused as Mono in this case refers to word for monkey. The Mono project was started by a company named Ximian (simian is another word for the higher primates) which later became Xamarin (a Tamarin is a species of monkey).

Poor Embracer Group. Maybe Microsoft or EA could step in and save the day?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyNot you, more slaap. Of course slaapliedje has this tendency any time any distro whatsoever is mentioned to say basically "Why would anyone ever have any reason to use or develop any other distro but Debian? Gosh they must all be morons for even contemplating such a thing!"
So I can't really take it as being against Mint in particular. Still kind of rude.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, guess I should have phrased my reply differently. I obviously only speak for myself.
