Quoting: Sojiro84Checked out the game today as well. Saw a Reddit thread about it.

As far as new player experiences go, it's terrible.

I joined, got killed almost instantly. I respawn in the exact same spot and the same player kills me again.

I then decided to run away and the damn player is chasing me for about 20 minutes when I just gave up.

So, yeah, probably not going to be playing the game again anytime soon if this isn't fixed. I don't even got a chance to learn how the game works. Are there levels? If so, then the first few levels there should be immunity so that one can learn how to play the game.

Lol, that normally never happens. Why did you decide to join in like the 2 hours of a release party chaos (which is maybe once a month at most), instead of trying the game during a normal time?

There are no levels, this is more like an open world game. There are some dungeons you can enter though.

Release party just now was chaos, in a good way :)

I think there were around 100 players fighting a giant dragon :woot:

After having seen how well Half-Life works with the unofficial port to the Occulus Quest:

I sincerely hope the next step is to port Black Mesa to the Half-Life: Alyx engine... Shouldn't be impossible I think ;)

Looks like it will actually get worse 1.1.2021 in the EU. Some sort of new banking regulation coming into force that at least my current bank seems to interpret in a way that they have to use a broken Android app now :(
I am currently looking for options to switch my bank because of that... too many times that sh*t just didn't work and I was left in trouble :(

Just as a note: This runs the community version of Ubuntu Touch ( https://ubports.com/ [External Link] ) via the Halium compatibility layer. It is a nice mobile phone OS and I use it on another former Android phone daily, but it is far from a "regular" GNU/Linux and requires quite some workarounds to run normal GNU/Linux desktop apps. If you are looking for an experience more like desktop Linux, better get a PinePhone. Although to be honest, as a phone OS Ubuntu Touch is actually better than desktop Linux.

Does anyone know if the multiplayer and VR forks are planned to be included in the main version?

Quoting: elmapuli wonder why its easier to reverse enginering an game than making an free open source alternative to it...
it shouldnt be

Actually no. Making an engine for an existing game is much easier. You have a fixed target and all the art assets are already done.

A pity that there isn't more collaboration on OpenXR. Playstation VR supperd on Linux PCs via Monado and Steam would be cool for example ;)

Quoting: JuliusAnd it even got a FOSS engine reimplementation:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freecs-1-5/ [External Link]

Is it for CS 1.5 only? I've just tried it, at it seems very unfinished with its instant reloading, sway, weird recoil and shooting, etc. I've also tried Xash3D-FWGS, and while it can run Half-Life, it doesn't support CS yet.

CS 1.5 was the last freeware version and also generally most liked by the original CS community. Not sure what you mean with unfinished, as far as I can tell it is quite faithful to CS 1.5, but my memory might be playing tricks on me ;)
