If you had OpenTTD in your GOG or Steam library, then there is no chance you can still play OpenTTD GOG or Steam version you

Edit

Game age rating system PEGI to get big changes for in-game items and online play

IMHO, this is going to do nothing. There are a lot of parents who will ignore the age rating. What they need to do is ban all loot boxes or, as EA calls them, "surprise mechanics,” and limit in-game real money purchases to 18++, which includes buying in-game currency with real money

Quoting: KandarihuI don't think that this is the right approach. As much as I want Linux to grow as a platform, this gives us an unfair advantage. The better choice will be to scrap/abolish such legislation entirely.
The more users that switch to Linux, the better. M$ Microslop may start to listen to the users 😆 😆 or they will try Embrace, extend, and extinguish

Hi, I hope Valve wins, and this parasite has to pay Valve's legal costs plus a very large compensation payment

Steam Beta fixes games from large libraries on Linux / SteamOS showing as not valid on current platform

Linux

Fixed a bug that could result in Proton games showing up as "Not valid on current platform" for users with very large libraries.
If this is the bug where you see the Available for Windows and the Install button is greyed out, then they have not completely fixed that bug. It looks like I am on the Steam Beta. I have seen this in one of my games, and on a Steam Family library game and a demo

Steam Client Beta adds a revamped interface for opting into game Betas and other changes

Hi, if Valve wanted to make playing older versions of games simpler, there is one simple change they could make to allow the users to disable auto / forced updates. Then the user can use the Steam console or depot downloader to downgrade the game

Ubisoft Connect / UPlay is the bane of my existence, especially for Assassin's Creed 2 on launch, getting kicked back to the main menu because UPlay lost connection

I do not think I have had the problem with it not remembering my credentials, but I have had more problems with EA Origin / EA launcher, for example, not being able to pass the -ui command-line argument to Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, which made it harder to play mods for C&C 3. I stopped using EA Origin / EA launcher when C&C Ultimate Collection arrived on Steam

@seamoose
I run a custom install of Linux Mint. I do not have a problem with other lunchers, but ruining them on Wine / Proton, they do not run well, or the original lunchers are just bloated telemetry gavering pup I use Heroic Games Launcher for GOG & Epic and Steam for C&C games

Nexus Mods app improves file conflict management ready for Fallout 4 and Skyrim

Let's hope they understand that Linux-based os use a case-sensitive file system. This can be a problem if they do not take into account the issue of case sensitivity of the file system, for example, Fallout - The Frontier

The Frontier-Master NVSE
The Frontier-Hotfix nvse
You have two folders with the same plugin, so which one will load? There are other files and folders where the case of the file and folder names is different between the Master and the Hotfix

There is an updated master that combines the master and the Hotfix. This may not be a problem for this mod now, but there may be other mods with the same problem

Hi, I do not know if this counts, but there is one you missed, Halo Custom Edition, it is Halo Combat Evolved multiplayer, but there is a mod to allow you to play the single player campaign
