Quoting: scaine
Quoting: sobkasSo does anyone know a good replacement for Lutris that isn't Heroic Games Launcher?
I jumped to Heroic a couple of months ago and it's a breath of fresh air. But if it's not for you, I suppose Arch Wiki has you covered. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming [External Link]

There's a section on launchers in there.

Edit - oh, and I just noticed that Liam covered another alternative earlier today!

Can you install and add games that aren't on any of those platforms? Iso's and cds ect

Does it have a mangohud toggle as well like lutris does?

I've never used anything other then lutris (then emulationstation for my main GUI) so abit unsure about the alternatives

Infact the GOG version is still on 1.3.2

I hope this isn't going to be one of those cases were the gog version never gets the update :-/

Linux version works OK for me too last time I tried, on ubuntu

This is really cool news, love playing this game split-screen, gameplay is a nice mix between classic Outrun and coast 2 coast

Kinda makes me wish I bought the steam version and not GOG though, didn't think it would end up with Workshop support

I loved this as a kid back then

Though I admit I don't care for it as much now, nostalgia aside.. the controls were awful, tank-controls

Quoting: Klaas
Quoting: KlaasIt's a shame that The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind aren't discounted before they will be delisted at the beginning of next month.
Good news. GOG has managed to get the publisher to agree to a final 80% discount. It seems that they previously were only discounted by 75%.
Yup just discovered this and was about to tell you

Just picked up Ties that Bind :)

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update
22 Aug 2024 at 8:42 pm UTC

Yup I've had this on two different occasions in the past, sadly I just opted not to dual boot and use W11 on main PC and Linux on random office PCs I pick up off ebay

It's a shame as I'd love to dual boot, but I'm not willing to get rid of windows entirely (at present time anyway) when it comes to my main gaming rig

Another thing that use to annoy me in the past with dual booting, I'd hardly boot into windows and then when I do the OS freaks out because it wants to download and install hundreds of updates I've missed out on.. oh but they're forced updates, what a shame *facepalm*

Just noticed the Capcom Arcade Stadium has added Enigma drm, which is a shame as I was interested in owning some of those games
