Quoting: scratchiGOG is having a sale on it right now, 66% off for the standard edition and 70% off for the gold edition. Buy now, play later...if they don't change their mind before 14th :X

Aren't all GoG versions of Metro Windows only?

5 Nov 2020 at 12:10 pm UTC

Quoting: sonicSo with Gallium Zink, it should be possible to run OpenGL 3.3 on Rpi 4 now, right?

Here we go: https://blogs.igalia.com/itoral/2020/11/05/v3dv-zink/ [External Link] :woot:

Edit: well, it seems like it runs only OpenGL 2.1, but it is still great!

Last time I played OpenRA's Dune2000 campaign it was incredibly faster and harder from what I remember from classic Dune2000. I didnt have a chance.

Humble has a Total War sale, next Total War: WARHAMMER II DLC on Linux "shortly" after Windows
7 Apr 2019 at 4:55 pm UTC

Thanks for replies. I am big fan of Total War and ancient Rome. I played hundreds of hours Rome: Total War on Windows, then via Wine. Some time ago I bought Linux version of Medieval II because of LOTR mod. Unfortunately mods for Linux version of Medieval worked only with some limitations. So here I am again, Total War with Rome, but without Linux support. Is not better to just play Rome II under Wine than playing Rome mod for Attla under Wine/Proton?

Quoting: mrdeathjrPossible dont be approved because only works in specific hardware / software combination

However VK9 have better chance because vulkan works in all hardware vendors

I disagree. It works with all AMD GPUs, and will probably work with Intel graphics too in near future. And it usually have better performance/graphics results.

VK9 will get years to be at usable status.
