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 :)

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*

The couch co op is a big plus

Was looking forward to couch co op for diablo 4.. until I found out they removed that feature for the pc version

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

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.

That's part of it yes, Valve cannot legally provide support for the codecs used, GE works around it.

As for "backported into mainstream Proton", a lot of what is pulled into GE is directly from upstream Proton (and it's related packages) just it's sometimes faster (but again, less testing and no real support).

Shame too since having the old pc versions of re available drm free is a big win for preservation, but having licensed codecs takes away from that abit

I'm glad there's workarounds with these sort of things, same reason I can enjoy my wireless xbox controllers on linux using official dongle as well

Quoting: neolith

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeDid they not fix the issues with it? I was initially interested in it, especially with it having splitscreen

But all the issues people reported just put me off wanting to get it unless it's ever on a BIG discount

According to the Steam forums they fixed some issues and introduced others.
But I think the problem is that even if the game was practically bug-free, by now way to many people lost interest in it. That is a death sentence for a multiplayer game. :sad:

Ya I remember the original version getting updated to no longer rely on gamespy

Seems like this new version is completely pointless (at least for pc users) .. splitscreen is the only reason I could see myself ever buying it

Quoting: neolithWhile they are at it, can they turn back time a couple months and unfumble the Battlefront release? :neutral:
I am incredibly disappointed in how that went. It should be impossible to screw up a re-release of an old game so badly, that the original still has a way higher playercount...
