Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTSince they applied patches that differ from mainline wine it's a fork.

Sure, strictly speaking Ubuntu is also a Debian fork.
But I think if you keep in sync with upstream and just apply a set of patches, with no intention to diverge the code-base to become incompatible, then fork isn't really the right term I guess.

Is Proton really a fork?
Isn't it more of a downstream repackaging like Ubuntu is to Debian?
Or is it more comparable to WINE Vs. WINE-Staging?

Did you actually try it? On my solus linux desktop with an older nvidia driver the tomb raider launcher also complains about an unsupported driver, but if you continue anyways it works great.

Probably the best gaming news this year :) This has the potential to become an ever green like Battle for Wesnoth!

Excellent game, I just wish I wasn't stuck on one level in the campaign that is just too damn hard :(

Quoting: GuestOnce I can actually download a version that runs for me, aka linux, I'll buy.

I've heard this a lot "Face a challenging AI", I have my doubts. Hope its at least good enough to practice/enjoy.

This mostly looks like a re-skin of Pandora ( http://pandora.proxy-studios.com/ [External Link] ), and I remember the enemies to be quite tough in that game. But always hard to say how much of that is good AI and how much computer cheating ;)

Quoting: buenaventuraBuying a hundred steam links just to disassemble and get rare earth metals and copper out of it to sell might make a profit with that price! ;)

Edit: or perhaps to build something with? Let's get creative, what could we build out of one hundred steam links? :D One very very long steam link from GoL HQ to my house? :D

Maybe you can get a cluster running like with the RasberryPIs: https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/cluster-computer-raspberry-pi-3/ [External Link]

But IMHO, with the crazy shipping fee (11€ to Germany) they are probably still making a profit on low volume orders...

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: JuliusBoth endless ocean games should run fine with the Dolphin Emu on Linux ;)

The challenge in that case is to get Dolphin EMU running.

This is getting a bit off topic, but at least on Ubuntu the Dev. PPA works exellent. In my experience definitly one of the easier Emus to get running :)

Definitly looking forward to that! Seems a bit more like ABZU though?

@Shmerl: As a backer I somewhat recently got an email about some Aquanox multiplayer test or so if I recall correctly. Taking much longer than expected I guess but still on track?
