Sorry to be late on this one... Is this going to be overwritten at every boot? Is it something that you have to do each time you launch the game?

I tried installing Feral's gamemode with the ppa, but everytime I launch the game, after reboot, it says that it's not installed... Duh?!

Thing is, I just started playing this game and I have a lot of stuttering. From what I read on this post it seems to be related to the cpu governor...

Thanks!

Quoting: Projectile VomitWould someone please go ahead and port Dungeons & Dragons Online? It works great in Linux via Wine (once you jump through all the hoops).

I believe I am screaming into the void. I am probably the only person who actually likes this game and has a Linux OS.

I would love to get back into this game.

Okay. I've said my piece. It can be safely ignored.

Scroll away :)

No your are not alone. Used to play that game. This one and LotRO. :)

Quoting: Lolo01What do you think of Kingdom come: Deliverance ?
It's a very good game that Proton doesn't manage properly.
And don't tell me about the platinum rating with less than two hours of play: problems occur after the prologue.
A Vulkan port would be fantastic.

That's even better then what I have been able to achieve... It doesn't even start on my rigs (tried on 3 different hardware configs). Same for Soulcaliber VI. I'd expect Gold rated games to at least start ootb, but...

Cyberpunk 2077.

What I hope to see is Feral getting new contracts because of Stadia that will let them put these builds on desktop Linux.

Quoting: KimyrielleFamily sharing is the most useless feature in Steam, honestly. You'd expect it to lock only the game somebody is using, but it locks the entire library. So if my daughter is playing any Steam game, I can't use my entire library as long as she's playing. Might as well let her use my computer in the first place. *rolleyes*

... But it has the advantage of letting you decide which games your kids can play, some form of parental control. This said, I understand your complaint, but personnaly, my play time begins when my kids... and my wife... are asleep. No judgment here, just a state of fact, in my personal case. :)

Aside from the weird PR and addtional delays, for my part, I find the concept interresting... Let's wait and see how it evolves and what kind of new games/services will be available/playable on this hardware. This is all that matters, imo.

Quoting: KimyrielleSo essentially people are dissing on Feral for getting permission from a company to port a game to Linux, because the same company also happened to allow them to port their previous games?

That makes sense! *nods*

/sarcasm

Seriously, I think people still mistakenly assume that Feral picks the games they port. From how I understand it, it's more that they have to beg them to let them do it, because nobody in big gaming business gives a flying fish about Linux.
I dislike the lack of AAA games on Linux as much as anyone, but the truth is that other than Square Enix and the Total War devs, nobody seems to be interested in Linux ports, so that's what Feral is porting.

It's like some people think we have a market share of 50% suddenly or something. The fact that Feral still port anything, at all, is frankly amazing and appreciated because:

- Their work is top stuff
- They contribute to the community as well
- They've contributed to Mesa drivers
- And so much more

Talking about Feral's high quality stuff... Already bought it, but I haven't played Shadow of the Tomb Raider yet... Shame on me! :)

Quoting: KorsNobody deserves such punishment.
There is lots of cool games to port and they choose LiS2.
Linux is in such a weird position these days.
I would love to play Grid or Monster Hunter.

You mean Monster Hunter: World? Did it stopped working? Wasn't it whitelisted by Valve for Proton?

Edit: It's not been whitelisted but:

Quoting: KandarihuI think my love for Feral Interactive is coming to an end. They used to port games that I cared about. I love their ports for XCOM and Mad Max and Shadow of Mordor. There are a few AAA games that I would love to play on Linux. I'm thinking something along the lines of Dark Souls (or any of it's sequels or clones), Just Cause, Shadow of War (when they fix the grindiness), Nier Automata, Sleeping Dogs, ANY of the Tales of games, stuff like that. And ESPECIALLY Monster Hunter World.

More Life is Strange!? I really don't have any interest in that.

We need more Linux porting companies like Feral to cover more AAA games so that porting decisions like this don't become so freaking costly.

Unfortunately, it's probably not Feral's decision to not port the games you mentionned. These big studios lost interest in Linux. The only way to play much of these games, now and in the forseeable futur, is via Proton/Wine/Lutris/...

Quoting: NeverthelessSo in short you want heavily discounted back-, forth- and cross-compatible Steam Machines, with completed infrastructure (drivers, Vulkan, Proton) built by Valve?

Not even that. I'm probably badly wording my toughts, but I can't find another way of expressing them.

Seriously, nothing that I propose hasn't been done before (Playstation or Xbox + Xbox Play Anywhere)... Why Valve can't do it?

Edit: I'm going to commit a sacrilege with what I'm about to say, but since Valve would be developping the hardware and unless there is a problem with the GPL licence, Valve could "hardcode" SteamOS so that you may not install anything else on it. Or at least, make it hard to install something else (Android style maybe?). It's a console, not a PC.

But it depends on Valve's motivations and that's what my questioning is highlighting... That's what I meant by "going all in" in the console market. The were not 100% committed to the Steam Machines initiative. They could have put a lot more weight behind it if they really wanted to break free from Microsoft.

Powering on a Steam Machine to be confronted by Windows only titles, in the store pages... What a good idea! One step further and there was a "Valve recommends Windows 10" banner in the bottom of the page.

Quoting: NeverthelessWhile I have a pretty good idea why no one did this until now,

If you know why, please be my guest... That's exactly what I want to know. Up until now, you said nothing about your arguments. Any legal limitations?
