Quoting: scaine

Quoting: lucifertdarkI'm glad my less than helpful remarks on the other entry about this game hasn't put them off, I'll actively try to think more before I type anything.

Pfff, this is the internet! When has anyone actively thought before typing!! :D

Seriously, great to see some introspection at work. I think it makes a huge difference when you realise that on this site, there's a decent chance the developer might just stop by and say hello. Venting frustration by shouting into the void is one thing, but one-to-one dialogue with the people making the games you care about is so much more rewarding, and often (hopefully) makes you reconsider the words and tone you use.

(disclaimer - not a clue as to what posts you were talking about! just making general observations)

No worries I deleted them anyway.

Quoting: lucifertdarkIf we knew what the criteria for adding a game to the White list

Pretty simple actually, and I'm pretty sure they mentioned it when they launched Proton: The experience has to be ~the same as on Windows, ignoring some performance hit.

You're right they did, hopefully as time goes on & improvements are made there should no performance hit at all, one day perhaps. :D

If we knew what the criteria for adding a game to the White list was it might help with the White listing process. It would certainly cut down all the false alarms on Github.

Yes enquiring minds would like to know. ;)

ps I can also confirm the workaround for Arkham City works very well.

I've deleted my previous comments as they were ill thought out & unhelpful.

I bought the game back in February & hadn't touched it till the other night while trying out some games with Steam Play & it works very well already, a Native port would be nice though. The music is something that has to be heard, it's impossible to explain it without sounding like I'm on drugs. What's in the trailer is only a snippet.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyProbably not in that particular way. I mean, they want to so bad they can taste it, they'd love to make themselves believe they could get away with it, but basically they know the reason they get to keep selling licenses is that for the end-user Windows seems to be "free" (as in no $$$). They know people wouldn't sit still for subscription-only.
In general, Microsoft have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly; their fundamental preinstall advantage is so great that their mistakes have so far cost them little.

I don't know, Adobe seem to be doing pretty well with their subscription service, they prove there are plenty of people out there dumb enough to pay & pay & pay & keep paying forever for something that used to be free.

Quoting: g000hSkyrim Special Edition - A little more testing. It works, but not the NPC audio (which is quite important to enjoy the game).

I have the same issue, but music doesn't work either. Maybe I'm missing some obscure package...

I didn't get the special edition to work but for the original version I had to use winecfg to set xaudio2_6 to Native & xaudio2_7 to Builtin, that's after using winetricks to install xact, then all sound was working for me.

Quoting: ageresI think it doesn't matter and installing Wine isn't even necessary for using Proton. When you use winetricks (which is not a mandatory part of Wine), it changes some wineprefix which is separate from Wine installation any can later be used by any Wine installation in any WINEPATH. I don't know much about Wine though and can be wrong.

Well that's more than I knew before you posted it. :D Thanks. :D
