I wouldn't mind a SOMA key! I'm not massively needy, as I have a stack of games to play, but I do like the look of that one.

Drop me a DM. Your profile seems to be private.

Edit: Key is gone.

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: subWow, DXVK has a huge momentum.

Yes , thanks to Valve.

If now even hardware companies jump in... huge success already and it looks like there is way more to come.

Hi Liam, do you know what happens if you neither install nor play the game within the first two weeks?
Will the platform where you purchased the product count in this case?

Update #1: I spoke to Valve earlier, about how buying Windows games to play with this system counts, they said this:

Hey Liam, the normal algorithm is in effect, so if at the end of the two weeks you have more playtime on Linux, it'll be a Linux sale. Proton counts as Linux.

Quoting: Nevertheless

Quoting: subFinally got back to TIS-100.

For my taste the Zachtronics games are one of the best things to happen. :)

Oh yes, I plan to finish this one too! This "display programming" started to be too much grind-work at the time I played it. And then I somehow I left it alone..

:)

The only complaint I have is that it seems to melt my notebook.
It's getting *extremely* hot for the very simplistic presentation.
It literally hurts my legs while playing for 2 minutes - so I have to put it somewhere else.
This affects all Zachtronics games so far that I played (not including Opus Magnum and the newest one which I both don't have *yet*).

It's Unity based, right?
IIRC, I have similar issues with other Unity games.
For reference:
The notebook has a Haswell CPU/GPU but a rather high display resolution with 2880x1620 pixels.

That's great. :)

Happy AMD user here.
Last Nvidia card was a 6600 GT.
Never looked back.

Do we have some games that run faster/better with Proton than they do with the native port?

(Just curious - not meaning to bash the awesome porting companies.)

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: GuestOn the long run, companies will recognize Linux more as a real market share even though they the companies dont have to do anything in terms of technical development because of Wine.

Because of this Linux market share recognition, chances are that they will want to support natively Linux so they make sure that their games run well on Linux also (not just with the Wine compatibility layer).

Why would they want to do that? If Steam/Wine/whatever takes care of it non-natively, they will never have do any better. What possible motive will there be to do Linux-native when all the work is being done by someone else??

I agree.

Only time will tell.
