Quoting: klubstrI installed the game from GOG using the offline installer and added it to steam as a non-steam game. Unfortunately, it doesn't launch with or without GE-Proton 9-9. The launch options

Quoting: ToddLWINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command%

don't do anything either. Has anyone gotten it working?

Try using Proton Experimental to see if it runs with the launch option WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command% because that's what I was using prior to testing out GE-Proton 9-9.

Quoting: ToddLEvery time I see a Bazzite article, it makes me want to give it a try but I don't have the funds right now to buy a new/used handheld device or PC :sad:

Install it to a USB drive on a current machine to play around with it?

I might give that a try since I have a spare USB drive.

Quoting: ssj17vegetaJust a question : do specific changes made in GE get eventually backported into mainstream Proton ?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but no changes from GE gets backported into Proton since they contain video codecs and other libraries that cannot be distributed unless a license is paid to allow it. This is why Valve doesn't include certain video codecs with Proton (which is those colored bars that appear during cinematic scene) and has to use workarounds to make it play nice.

I just tried it on the Steam Deck and for some reason, it won't launch unless I use WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" %command% but this causes the FMV not to play. However, despite not seeing the FMV, you can still play the game fine and I don't know if I missed something when using this version of GE-Proton.

Quoting: shadow1w2No surprise that RPGs fit well on the deck.
Being able to sleep the machine and resume quickly is a big help for lengthy games plus playing them on the go.

Least for myself I rarely have the solid uninteruppted free time but plenty of smaller moments which is great for an arcade game run but lengthy stuff if I can't pause and resume I rarely finish even half.

Hope to see some competition in this space for the top Deck rpg.

Totally agree on the sleep and resume function for longer rpgs. I just can't fathom how people can play incredibly complex CRPGS like BG3 with cluttered interfaces on such a tiny screen with a controller. I spent a lot of time in bg3 in the "open all inventories" screen with every characters inventory open, and swapping items around. How would that even be possible on a handheld? There's so many other questions like that.

It takes lots of skills to get used to crammed interfaces on tiny screens :grin:

Interesting that Steam is coming out with this feature when Decky Loader has a screen recording plugin for sometime now. Not sure how much better that plugin is versus the one that Steam is implementing.

Now, if Steam's screen recording implementation can do something like the PS5, where it'll record a video of an achievement that you earned in the game, then it'll be a nice touch to what they have right now.

Quoting: CyborgZetaGood news for me. With the exception of the GameCube remake of RE1, I am not a fan of the Resident Evil remakes. The classic RE games with tanks controls will always be my favorites; especially RE2.

Nostalgia Trip Time:
I didn't get into Resident Evil (RE) back then because even though I've seen it in video game magazines, I never understood the appeal until hearing Will Smith on Access Hollywood (US entertainment TV show) talking about playing RE1 when PS1 was brand new. Once I got a PS1, I gave it a try and was blown away but how the game looked and played at the time. The crazy thing was that I didn't have a memory card to save my progress but made it pretty far until those mutants (still hate them to this day) killed my momentum.

As for RE2, I still have fond memories of it on the PS1 since I loved how Capcom was able to make the game work brilliantly when it came to which disk you started out playing first and how the stories converged at the end once you completed it with the second disk.

Unfortunately, I only completed RE3 once on PS1 and didn't remember much about the settings and everything about what Jill was doing in the story. One day, I may revisit this one again once I have the time to jump back into it.

The good old days of Resident Evil and those dreaded tank controls :grin:

I used to love these versions of the game but after playing the remakes, it's hard to go back. Also, I do wonder if this means GOG will get any of the remake versions of Resident Evil in the future because I'm sure a lot of fans would want those as well.

EDIT: I hope they keep those campy dialogues from Resident Evil 1 because those were funny and iconic to listen to.

I do like Fanatical for their bundles but their game discounts isn't their strong suit compare to other digital stores. At least they offer those 5% coupons every time you buy something from them and I tend to use those from time to time.
