Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck?
No thanks. Timmy Tencent doesn't know how to run a business I don't want his garbage contaminating my pristine gaming consoles. He can go hookup with Gary Newman and circle jerk about Lunix and soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos hacking into your stereo to steal your music using the stolen program mp3 [External Link] [ Archive.org ]

Oh man these screenshots are going to give me PTSD, memories flood back of things like being the only guy at the LAN party with Loonix and screwing around with WINE trying to get stuff like counter strike 1.6 or counter strike source running.

I am a fan of these kinds of articles and this idea though, I love the ackward beauty of projects like ( https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 [External Link] )

If I was going to do this though I would at least like to cheat a little and use a newer wine when emulating, maybe this is the time for appimages to shine no idea (but maybe 32-bit go brr idk) ;P

Seeing as how this isn't a thing yet, the developer response regarding Steam Deck [External Link] is sufficient for me. To me Steam Deck support is equivalent to Linux support.

I totally understand buying from publishers/developers that make a commitment.

This looks awesome. I wonder if 3-4 Steam Deck players will be able to play Co-Op, it seems like the Steam Deck PvP gap is starting to fill in a little.

Quoting: robertosf92Not sure I wanna participate in the Capitalism and Economy fest tbh :grin::grin:
Well if you want to disolve all private property [External Link] maybe I can borrow some of our stuff ;P I can't wait to take our computer to the LAN party and I am looking foreward to using our car tovarish.

Has anyone seen our girlfriends and wives? Remember what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too. You're the best tovarishes a torvarish could ask for.

Battle.net broke in Wine / Proton - here's how to fix for Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: Highball
For people using some form of Wine / Proton in Lutris you can add WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY with a value of 1 as an environment variable in the system options inside a Wine runner you're using.
Also works great for Bottles too.

<battle.net bottle>->Options->Settings->Compatibility->'Environment Variables'

Prior to this tip. As a work around I opened the file explorer for the bottle and deleted the battle.net.14542 version under the battle.net installation directory.
Worked, thanks :)

Instant Certified Banger. Looks like from the video the dev still has the magicsauce too if he's doing it himself.

W4 Games raises $15M to help push Godot Engine

Quoting: RonDamonIt seems that the market is worries of the UE5 near-monopoly. This is good.
This is an excellent point. If I was a pushing 100 million in sales with a Unreal 5 game, it would be in my interest to keep Unreal Engine on their toes, and what better way than to sling a tax deduction at their competitor.

That way my money strengthens my interests that business partners (Epic) continue to behave fairly and don't try to pull some mickey mouse Unity BS like -- oof we're gonnna charge you every time your game is downloaded or installed like WTF?
