Does it feature some kind of story/career mode?

Quoting: WorMzyI hope the updated user interface uses qt5, and not gtk3. That is, assuming they use a different toolkit to gtk2.

They use VGUI.

Are you sure?

That rather looks like the in-game UI framework delivered with the Source SDK and nothing like the Steam client.

Quoting: EikeI've got no idea what you expect from a 64 bit Steam client. It's not like it would make anything faster or better. "Proper"? "Modern"? So what? There's still many games running on 32 bits, you'll need a 32 bit layer for a long time to go.

This is why selling stuff with buzzwords works so great, I guess. :)

32-bit processes can spawn 64-bit processes, or in other words - the 32-bit Steam client can launch 64-bit titles - so there is no limitation in that.

Not having native Wayland support is not something I consider an issue.
There are still lots of users on X and those applications run great via XWayland.

If the client feels sluggish or whatever than it's just because it has some design issues.
And certainly *not* because it's 32-bit or native X application.

Quoting: GuestI really hope they will finally release a 64 bit Steam client including Wayland support.

What do we gain from that?

Is there a similar project for Direct3D 12 --> Vulkan?

Quoting: malahHuge ... I always forgot this useless dongle when I travel ...

Yep.

For me it would've helped quite a bit if they had included a slot for the dongle at the controller,
where you can put it when unplugged.

Quoting: Destroyer28.8k or 33.6k modem more likely, 56k wasn't released until 1998. Even then I didn't have one until after 2000.
I'm getting this game even though it looks more modern than what we actually had.

I thought 56k came earlier; but the dates are all jumbled up in my mind. I know I went from 14.4k, to 33.6, to 56; though I can't remember at which point we got dial-up internet; before that it was mostly for BBSs, and faxing.

I thought it was earlier as well (my guess 1996).
Wikipedia says it was Feb 1997.

I'll get this.
Seriously!

Quoting: Stupendous ManI actually bought it this afternoon but had to ask for a refund: I got ~12fps in the menu with a laggy mouse on lowest graphics settings (and everything up to ultra). To be honest, I didn't try different drivers to see if it helped, I just looked on the support forum to see if anyone else had had the same issue, and then asked for a refund.
Nothing was running in the background, and the system is a Ryzen 1700 with 16GB ram and a GTX660. I haven't had any issue in any other game I've tried (brand new system).

Just installed it for the very first time.

I cannot even start the game, because it's several minutes until the screen that I suppose will be the menu appears. Then the mouse and the whole system is practically stuck.

Okay, my bad. I should've read the system requirements.
It's only a Thinkpad with Haswell graphics (never got the Optimus setup to work properly on Linux).
Maybe I should not estimate the requirements by the screenshots.
I'll give it a try on Windows before asking for a refund.

Just grabbed WftO today when it was 75 % off.

Both Dungeon Keeper are still among my favourite games.
Unfortunately Dungeons (1 & 2) were not my cup of tea.

Let's see how WftO does. :)

BTW, there wasn't a single crappy Bullfrog game, was there?
I'd play the sh*t out of a well-made spiritual Magic Carpet 2 successor.
