I'm slightly miffed that Golden Axe is now 3D...

Quoting: Anza

Quoting: neolithHas the Humble Choice website changed? There used to be lots of screenshots for every title you clicked on. :huh:

It looks different based on if you're logged in or not. You might have logged out by clearing cookies for example.

Aaaah... that would explain it.

Quoting: Nod

Quoting: TcheySince BAR (Beyond All Reasons), i cannot play any RTS without the position control (not sure how it’s called) : draw a line to move the troops so they end up on that line instead of a blob full of collisions.

Looks like its called Move Line Drag [External Link]. That looks great, never seen that before. Might have to give BAR a try.

The closest I can think of is unit positioning in Myth II which if very good but not quite the same.

That does look indeed very useful!

Quoting: whizseI'm getting the same behavior (intros play, music, but a white screen) using standard Wine 8.20.

I can get it to run using Proton 7 but I run Proton outside Steam without any containers so it uses my system libraries., otherwise I think it might choke on the intro videos and fail to launch? I'm not sure how non-Steam games work with the video conversion stuff.

The blank screen in the menu might be a Wine regression. I'll see if I can figure it out.

[...]

It is indeed a regression. It's fixed in the upcoming Wine 8.22 release.

This is the fix [External Link] in case you want to poke GE about it.

Unfortunately the game have other issues, it crashes after missions [External Link].

Thanks for the info! :smile:

I forgot to add that I am not using the Steam version, I installed from disc. Maybe I am missing an update due to that, so I'll have to take a look and maybe tinker a bit more.

The crashes are a bummer though.

Quoting: Soulprayer[...]

according to PCSX2 developers, Wayland is "super broken/buggy in basically every scenario. KDE isn't too buggy, GNOME is a complete disaster" and have disabled it in their distributions.:grin::grin:
But:

PCSX2 still supports Wayland. It just prefers the XCB/XWayland platform by default. You can set the I_WANT_A_BROKEN_WAYLAND_UI environment variable and experience the brokenness for yourself on the AppImage builds, or add the wayland socket to the flatpak.

That is disheartening to read... :sad:

Quoting: neolithI am going to play Crimson Skies again! On the Steam Deck - woohoo! :woot:

Well... apparently I am not going to do that - I cannot get the darn thing to run at all. :neutral:
Just using Wine I am getting to the main menu, music is playing and I am getting what I have to assume is a missing texture replacement. When using any version of Proton the game won't even start. :sad:

Has anyone tried and had any more success of running Crimson Skies?

Quoting: CatKillerOLEDs would benefit from screensavers for the same reasons as CRTs did.

I was about to post exactly that. I've seen flatscreens with horrible burn in. Also, CRTs still exist and are still being used. Sure, it's a niche – but if I'd go through the trouble and the costs of using one, I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to ruin it.
