I wish there was an actual client/shortcut as part of this build though. I had to visit the Arch WIKI to realise that you have to visit http://localhost:7396/ [External Link] to see your progress and turn Folding on/off.

There should be one, it’s called FAHControl but I don’t remember the steps involved in installing it. Should be explained somewhere on their website :)

I downloaded the client only, which has no interface. I've now downloaded control and viewer, both of which are fat-clients. Strange approach, but it's all working now, although FAHcontrol doesn't recognise my GPU (Nvidia GTX 1080, running 440 driver). I'm looking into it now, appears I'm not the only one to have this issue.

That's my issue too. Solved the opencl stuff in the log file and it seems to see my gpu, but it won't add a gpu slot:

Might need to create a support forum for F@H. :)

Yeah, but it's dependent on python-gnome2 and my spare rig's Pop_OS! refuses to install it.

Is there a way to use my gpu? It seems to run on my CPU only...

Still hoping for the Steam Controller 2.0... Probably in vain, unfortunately. I can't stand dual stick controllers. I'm so clumsy with that.

I know I'm being nitpicky, but it would have been nice to see a Ryzen 5 3400G version of this little buddy.

Still, great job Purism!

At least, the grappling hook now works in Batman Arkham Knight. I will probably try a new run to test the other reported bugs, now that the game seems playable.

Edit: Saving game is now working on JC3.

Quoting: ShmerlWill they release their games for normal desktop Linux too, or they'll remain Stadia exclusive? In general, exclusivity is a bad thing.

Its a streaming service, no desktop versions.

Quoting: Xaero_VincentWhen are they just gonna start offering basic subscription tiers? Not everyone wants to spend $129 to get started with Stadia. I don't want a Chromecast Pro nor a Stadia Controller (I already have several controllers).

Sometime in the next few months. There were some scraping updates to the Android app for it, which found mentions of Stadia Pro trials too.

Personally won't touch GeForce Now. To me, Linux means something big, it using Windows servers and no Linux support is a big turn off.

I have an Nvidia Shield and stopped using GFN for this reason. At least, it's probably the best Steam Link app streaming box you may find around. That's how I use it, lately.

Any news on the subject?

Could the game have sold better on Steam and make irrelevant the Epic crap and Valve's 30% cut? We'll never know. Deep Silver may think whatever they like about the outcome of it all.

The real winner is Epic, because it forced users to create an account on their store. They gained a foothold. Now that they "destroyed" the barrier of account creations, exclusivity deals are not as important anymore.

Edit: It might explain why they seem to have switched from exclusivity deals to a freebies model. It's a lot less agressive and has the same effect.

My two cents.
