ProtonPlus makes managing Proton versions on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck simple
4 Jul 2025 at 1:32 am UTC

hi
I think I am going to stick with ProtonUp-Qt. I tried the Flatpak version, but there was no option to switch the theme to the dark theme. I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon with a dark theme. If or when I get the time, I am going to look into building from source

IMHO, if I were going to develop an application for Linux, I would never touch libadwaita or any new ui libraries from GNOME

And other mods have been removed. I can give other examples, but

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition announced with Steam Deck support

Judging by not being compatible with the older games saves nor mods, I would think those are on a new engine.

Now comes the question: are they as bugged as the originals? Because those are notorious for the amount of bugs they have.
The FAQ says no, but I am going to test a save file from the original games

You can play the single-player campaigns in OpenRA. The problem is when you complete the mission, you quit back to the main menu and then select the next mission

hi

I preordered SSR on Steam before it came out, and yet it’s saying I have to pay for SS2 Remastered despite the fact that me and the rest of us who preordered SSR on Steam were promised that we’d get SS2 Remastered for free.
Bundle85 — 05:21
it willl be added, it just hasn't yet
Dense Reaper
So basically, it’ll take a couple days or something before it says I can get it for free. Right?
Bundle85
i don't have a timeframe other than before launch, but it will be added to the library

Blizzard are delisting Warcraft I and II from GOG, so GOG adds a special discount and will keep them updated

Quoting: such
Quoting: Linux_RocksThe remasters on Battle.net come with the originals too. So I'm not surprised that they're doing this. It's a shame, but it was a matter of when it'd happen.
Are they bundling in the DOS originals? Because if they're not those remasters do not feature the originals. The switching is limited, and what it does feature of the originals is fairly mangled.
yes and no Warcraft Orcs & Humans 1.22 Dos Warcraft 2 battle.net edition

Quoting: pb
Quoting: CaldathrasI had hoped that Microsoft buying them might signal a change in direction to Blizzard's attitude
I had never imagined a timeline where Microsoft was the least evil of all the evil companies. :tongue:
No Microsoft is still the most evil company but this is getting off-topic

I got the Warcraft remastered battle chest for a good discount but I did have Warcraft 3 unforged or nonforged or insert favorite Colourful Metaphor here forged

edit 1
the version of Warcraft II on gog is the Battle.net Edition, not the dos version

hi
"We also now can add, edit, or delete categories directly from the dropdown menu, which provides a more intuitive and streamlined way to organize games."

the onley change i can see with the categories is the Manage Categories this is where you can add new categories and edit categories names what dropdown menu are thay talking about

edit
looking at the What's Changed it looks like it is talking about Manage Categories and not a faster whay to add games to a Categories

"[Feature] Add option to add/edit/delete categories from categories dropdown by @arielj in #3573"
