Zombie co-op FPS Projekt Z: Beyond Order releases Spring 2025 with Linux support

Quoting: whizseStill, I would love to see four player splitscreen using four keyboards and mice some day. Pure pandemonium! :grin:
I actually did that once, back when I was still on Windows. I used Nucleus Coop to play Content Warning with 4 players split across two monitors.

The trick is get those keyboards that have mouse pads built into them. They're not great for anything requiring fast reflexes, but for a game like Content Warning, it's good enough and we all enjoyed it.

That said, I do agree with neolith here in that multiple gamepad support is better.

Quoting: neolithWhile I agree in general I must say the game looks like it's made to be controlled with MKB – I am not sure how many people would play it via local co-op... :neutral:
Controllers have always been inferior to keyboards and mice as a control scheme, so I'm willing to accept worse controller support as long as a game at least has some.

Also, if the project is using SDL, like most are, then you can receive inputs from multiple keyboards and mice individually.

One more time, developers: please add local coop. :(

Even 2 player coop is good enough.

Deadlock from Valve gets 6 new experimental heroes and new stylized rendering of heroes

The game runs like trash on my mid-range PC, and I don't think that's a good thing for any competitive multiplayer game ever. That said, I am using an NVIDIA GPU, so maybe I should see whether other people are facing similar issues.

Quoting: KlaasI still don't know what's going on. Is it single player or multiplayer? If multiplayer – coop or last man standing or whatever?
There seems to be a Dedicated Server option, so yes, multiplayer

Is it... safe to download the Citra forks? I feel like that's asking trouble from Nintendo

This is the one time I'd say a game has earned the Verified rating. Playing it on my friend's Deck, the game has gone from 20 FPS with frame drops to a near stable 90 FPS.

Fantastic work from the developer.

Microsoft Windows kernel changes don't suddenly mean big things for Linux gaming

Quoting: LungDragoAs far as I know, kernel anti-cheat is ineffective even on Windows, so I'm not sure what the devs are complaining about and what they are smoking.
I think Riot Games just put out a blog post on how Vanguard, their kernel level anti cheat, is helping to keep the cheating down.
