The last and only online game that I enjoyed playing. Can't remember if it was GW1 or GW2, though.

And, of course, there are still no subscription fees.

A feature to be proud of, although I always wondered how they were able to fund the servers.

I'm planning to move to Linux in 2026 after P11 is done, and since Playnite is my personal blocker for the move, I will try to make some Linux version in 2026.

As good a reason as any other to develop a Linux version, I guess. Another convert!

The free expansion pack, entitled Handful of Missions, was released in 1998. A Few Missions More would have made a great title for a follow-up pack.

I have an unopened copy of the Outlaws original music soundtrack on CD, given to me by LucasArts during my days in computer software retail. Not absolutely certain where I put it, though.

Sadly, I've never played the game, as first-person shooters tend to trigger my vertigo.

I don't understand why people recommend balena etcher, when you have something as efficient, lightweight and easy to use as those 2 small tools.

Because the writer tool only seems to work well with Linux Mint installers. It corrupted the installers for some of the other distros I've tested. Tuxedo OS comes to mind...

Rumour has it that this uses Denuvo. That, the launcher and the microtransactions are enough for me to say "no thanks."

@soulsource

On Switch, at least, you could work around the login-requirement by disconnecting from the internet. I don't know if that's an option on PC.

I can confirm that, at least in Windows, you can set the launcher to offline mode. It's a bit of a hassle, however.

Strange. If it's an official stable version, odd that it's not listed as an available option on the Compatibility tab.

As Liam said, however, it can be found by searching the Steam Library manually.

I've tried Proton 10 and GE 10 on a couple of games over the past month or two and had zero success even getting them to run. Had to fall back to 9 which has been flawless. I'll probably wait a while to try 10 again.

I've experienced this too. Steam is set to default to Experimental for me. A number of my games wouldn't launch when Experimental moved to the 10.0 base. I had to switch them to a stable release based on 9.0 to fix the issue.

On the other hand, I just picked up Stray (52% off at Fanatical). It actually runs with better frame rates on the 10.0-based Experimental (and GE-Proton 10.25). It was appreciably slower on Proton 9.0-4.

For those of you that have this game on Steam (I got it for free at some point), Fanatical has it on sale for even better than GOG:

Fanatical - Battlestar Galactica Deadlock [External Link]

(Sorry, Liam. I don't know how to encode the GoL affiliation into the URL.)

So, what have you been playing lately (and why isn't it ARC Raiders?).

I don't play online multiplayer games. Not my thing.

I have been modding and now playing a fully modded TES IV: Oblivion Classic/2006, with lots of OBSE mods that improve the QoL in the game.

(I'm not all that impressed by what I've seen of the remastered version, especially the character faces. They look worse than the original game's faces.)

Details for any installed driver would be great, especially Mesa.

Please do not talk about dgvoodoo2, it's closed source and his dev is not friendly with open source

For those of you that are curious about the background to this matter, please follow these links:

At first it seems that the dev is being reasonable in his concerns until you read on further and discover that his most recent version is having problems in Linux and he doesn't seem to care. It is made worse by the fact that, two months later, he locked down his GitHub site and put the project into read-only mode.

@legluondunet, I can certainly appreciate your frustration in having to deal with this individual. Strange that he cannot comprehend that forcing absolutely everyone to do your beta testing is the wrong approach. Why should they have to potentially wait months for a fix when a previous version will work just fine? Hopefully, someone will step up to produce an alternative to his project. A shame that they will likely have to reinvent the wheel. This is a good beginning.
