Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat website is just beautiful.
It's like something I'd have done in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Needs moar Xara3D!

Quoting: Avehicle7887Anyone tried to compile the source yet?

I got a build compiling just fine, game launches I can hear sound but screen is black. Tried with both Mesa (AMD) and Nvidia drivers.

It kinda works here.

You need both the game assets and quite a few dirs from the git files, data/ sounds/ and models/ I think? The game was pretty verbose about which files where missing.

On AMD systems you should probably also set AMD_DEBUG=zerovram, or you get some severe glitching when the game loads.

Even so, it seems rather crashy, I could only get the second campaign map to load. The first one crashed, and skirmishes hang on load.

Also: In case anyone have problem compiling. The build scripts miss a dependency on libglm.

Quoting: F.UltraThanks, 4.2COMPAT seems to have fixed the game for me aswell (RC480 mesa 20.2.1) where 4.6COMPAT was just as broken as the original.

Good catch! 4.2COMPAT seems to work better here too.

Totally subjective early impressions:

I tried the demo too, and I agree with Anza. This one feels more like a careful restoration of a late 90s fps, and unfortunately not one of the memorable ones.

Anyhow, they certainly nailed the color scheme (brown) and the hunt for keys (red). Also, writing an engine from scratch is impressive and I do hope they do something further to my liking with it.

I hope the Windows launch went better, otherwise I feel bad for Frictional. Haven't actually read any reviews yet, because spoilers.

Quoting: einherjarI know, but it is in the headline of "gaming on linux" and is only Win. So at least it is very old and *may* work with Wine. So not interesting enough IMHO to be the headliner.

It does work in Wine. I tried it for a whole minute, just for you!

(And it is "gaming on linux", not "native gaming on linux" :tongue: )

Complete mess :cry:

It uses legacy OpenGL features, but seems to use a core context. Needs to be run with MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6COMPAT, and even then you get errors like these:

Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glBindVertexArray(non-gen name)
Mesa: 14624 similar GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glGenerateMipmap(incomplete cube map)
Mesa: 4 similar GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glBindVertexArray(non-gen name)
Mesa: 1720 similar GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glGenerateMipmap(incomplete cube map)
Mesa: 4 similar GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glBindVertexArray(non-gen name)

Another issue, at exit the window disappears quickly, but the game process seems to take 10-15 seconds longer to exit (sometimes it hangs) meanwhile keeping your cursor hostage.

Oh, thanks for spotting this one!

I'm saving up all my courage* for another horror game (hopefully releasing tomorrow) but at 2,99€ this is too good an offer to pass. Almost feels bad to buy games so cheap. Not bad enough to pay the full retail price, but still...

* I find Tupperware works fine.

Quoting: TheRiddickSomething odd about this proton, it doesn't copy files into the compatdata area anymore, infact only makes the folder but ignores all else.. Seems its using a universal proton folder? who knows where.

OH, that is very odd. Its using the .wine folder. Could be a issue with compatibility add-in none-steam-games.

Not sure I follow? I forced a Proton 5.13 run for a new title, and it seems to be creating and populating a compatdata dir just as before?

I do have a problem with all non-steam titles running through Steam. None of them work with 5.13, it doesn't even try to upgrade the prefix.
