The big question here is if Comet handles GOG Galaxy's multiplayer functionality. [External Link] That's the only thing I'm really missing that I'm unsure if Heroic covers already. I don't really care about achievements that much by comparison.

Quoting: TheRiddickI wonder if there is some sort of DRM/Copy Protection going on that is gobbling up the CPU cycles?

Doesn't have Denuvo does it?

It does, in fact, have denuvo. [External Link]

Imagine my shock that a poorly performing PC port once again uses that shitty DRM.

Quoting: GuestI will laugh if after this nvidia shows up and says "you know what, dlss 3 is actually possible on rtx 2000 series" because it will be the last chance to push this proprietary nonsense on people

Would be nice. The situations in which one would even "need" DLSS 3 extend pretty much to older cards that are getting into their grey hair years, DLSS 3 would give them a new lease on life. If you have a 4000 series card, it has enough raw horsepower that the situations in which DLSS 3 is necessary are slimmer in quantity.

Quoting: intensciaScott here creator of mod.io. Thanks for the support - open source plugins, with true cross-platform support is our end goal!

Honestly, as much as I like steam workshop and how easy it is for users to create mod collections with it for people to one click and get a server's entire mod list, the fact that you miss out on that if you buy a game on GoG or itch.io always bothered me, so thanks for making something that's actually decent and cross platform. I like that you can download and delete mods without closing your game when devs implement mod.io.

While I think some people have poor implementation of mod.io sometimes (like how Bonelab has no search function or categorization beyond alphabetically listing every mod ever uploaded in a repository) as far as I'm aware that's not really mod.io's fault and is more on the developer to make a decent search function.

Please do whatever you can to encourage categorization and good search implementations if it is in your power to do so, cause that's basically my only real complaint with mod.io right now.

Quoting: WMan22I'm one of the seemingly few people who actually welcomes mod.io

mod.io is tencent

If you're implying that I dislike epic because of Tencent's majority stake in Epic, I'd be as much of a hypocrite as Tim Sweeney, since Warframe is my most played game.

I dislike Epic Games because they're anti-consumer outside of giving away free games, their store is worse, they don't list if a game uses Denuvo DRM, they do exclusivity deals while heaping shit on valve for being a monopoly (as they contractually MONOPOLIZE game releases for a year), they delisted unreal tournament for basically no reason except what I can only assume to be maliciousness as players were using OpenSpy to host servers and the game has LAN support so it would have cost them basically nothing to keep them up with the only game they bring back basically being a F2P version of widely considered to be the worst UT game, and they keep taking *undeserved* potshots at steam.

To be clear: Just because I really appreciate what they're doing for linux among other things, doesn't mean Valve is my "friend", they are a company. I haven't forgotten about lootboxes, CS:GO gambling, the fact that I had to wait over a decade for a new half life game, their neglect of Team Fortress 2, or Skyrim Paid Mods. You can absolutely take potshots at valve, they are not perfect.

But nobody at epic has yet earned the immense amount of shit they talk about valve and when confronted about it they basically shrug their shoulders and continue to morally grandstand about "muh 30% cut" even though that's literally industry standard and valve is actually doing things with that cut like paying proton developers, manufacturing steam decks, making features for steam like Steam Input, Remote Play Together, Interactive Recommender, LAN downloading, etc. meanwhile Epic took 3 years to add a shopping cart. ...A shopping cart.

It's frustratingly transparent that Tim is trying to win the store wars through libel, they're basically trying to social media mob people against valve, hoping the average person didn't do any research on how little epic has done and how much valve has done, which is despicable. It puts a sour taste on even something I approve of, which is cross platform play. I want this, I don't want online play to be locked in to steam users only, I just don't want the solution to be from Epic. It's clearly done to go "See! We have a lot of users! Look how many people signed up Epic accounts (even though it's solely to use EOS)! Make your games exclusive to epic!"

I love how Tim Sweeney once again makes a an extremely hypocritical, smugly delievered statement, this time where he complains about something being "a classic lock-in strategy" yet Epic is the one doing exclusivity deals, not Steam. And they "lock in" many people to windows by not enabling EAC on linux for Fortnite, too.

God I hate this dude. If that statement came from someone from GOG or any other storefront there would be absolutely no issue in my opinion with saying that, but as it stands with the way things are now it comes off as undeservedly smarmy and hypocritical. It's like he's completely oblivious to why people dislike Epic, or is intentionally ignoring it. Didn't he say at one point that Epic would be more curated too during one of this moments where he throws stones at steam from his glass house? Guess he's walking that back too with the $100 entry.

As for the decision itself, I'm all for cross platform play, it's why I'm one of the seemingly few people who actually welcomes mod.io in place of Steam Workshop, but Epic doing it with one of their services really comes off as sketchy to me, since they have built anything but a positive consumer reputation so far.

Quoting: WMan22Eagerly anticipating the Luxtorpeda implementation and Flatpak version.

This won't be added to Luxtorpeda as they are avoiding reverse engineered ports.

Ah well, perhaps I can simply settle for a flatpak version.

I play Othercide just fine on my steam deck, no idea why it's marked as unsupported.

I really hope they follow through on that itch.io support. The official itch.io launcher for linux isn't... great in my experience, and it'd be nice to consolidate my launchers to just Steam and Heroic. I basically only use GOG, Itch.io, and Steam to get my games.
