Will it have Farmville? Asking for a friend.

Quoting: NeoTheFoxAll rendering problems of Amnesia is solved by patch 1.0.4 for me on Mesa/AMD already. I also had to put this into the command:
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.2COMPAT %command%
With this, it works without any issues, and I think I'm either halfway through or near the end right now.

No patch or update on GOG yet I'm sorry to say.

Do let us know if you're able to complete the game. My biggest fear* is a game breaking bug at the end of the game, fixed by a patch that breaks all previous saves.

* also spiders.

I will forever remember Hive Time as the first and only game I created a mod for. Yes, I'm a modder now!* In my hive, all the bees are named Eric and I love them semi-carnally [External Link]!

* I edited two json files, wooo!

Try ScanTailor [External Link], it's not an all-in-one tool, it doesn't do scanning, OCR or PDF output. But it is excellent for doing the intermediary steps. Cropping, deskewing, prepping for OCR etc. in batch mode, with a GUI.

It's a little bit fiddly the first time around, but it has quickly become indispensable to me when it comes to wrangling scanned books and documents.

Another suggestion, for batch cropping with a GUI, or any other image edits on large sets of files. Try Darktable. It's primarily for RAW images, but does jpeg just as well.

Quoting: F.UltraNew patch today with a notice that the Linux bugs will be fixed in a later patch so they are working on it. Meanwhile whatever you do don't ever go into the steam discussion pages for this game, it's full of vile and ignorant people for some reason (didn't know that there existed such a large group of Frictional Games haters out there).

Good to know! I've been checking my GOG account once every hour or so, waiting for an update. Guess I have to be patient for a bit longer.

I honestly don't know what it is about the Steam forums? They seem to turn even the most placid person into an enraged asshole?

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.
