Quoting: 0ttmanIts plays great! 120-140 FPS

This game works for quite some time now.

What Torqachu surely meant is if the CINEMATICS are playing? Without them this game is pretty useless. You miss the whole story.

I've tested this too and NO, does not work for ME > still no cinematics:(

Quoting: 14Ooo, this is really sweet. Yes, SPICE would be a fantastic next step. Imagine Raspberry Pi as a thin client... I guess Steam Link is the same thing. Still, it would still be very useful to me if it was local only. I run VirtualBox and libvirtd locally to tinker with stuff besides my dedicated hypervisor.

I don't know if SPICE is supported by the VirtualBox hypervisor but for sure with XEN and KVM.
Here you can read more about SPICE and it's features...

Quoting: Guest[Actually, if I read correctly, this is indeed something that might become possible (or at least more easily possible).
(also, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by SPICE, which to me was always integrated circuit logic simulation software, but a bit of googling tells me it might be some remote virtual machine access software....so I'm guessing you mean that).

I mean the "virtual machine access" software which runs over the SPICE protocol - mainly developed by Redhat (soon IBM).
I use it on a daily basis for my work and it is incredibly useful.

You can simply drag and drop files from your linux desktop into the SPICE client window and the file lands on your windows VM desktop - very usefull and works vice versa.
With SPICE there are also no barriers when it comes to virtual desktop resolution (qxl driver and spice-vdagent installed in guest). You can have a virtual desktop of 859x736 (for example) in size if you want - simply resize the window.
I know of NO other client that can do this.
In my opinion SPICE could BE the MS-RDP KILLER, but the guys at Redhat are simply blind or stupid.

Nice to read that this project is advancing.
But the problem I have with it is that it does ONLY work locally.

Until virgl does not work remotely over SPICE it is useless for ME - but I clearly see the advantage for developers.

Quoting: iiariInstant purchase! Going to play now...

Hope you have more luck than me - does not work for me.
I still use a 5:4 screen and game starts in windowed mode - no native resolution support:(
Game hangs on start.

Currently I have no time to look deeper into that.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyYou are wrong. In my considered opinion, your universal civility is a bad tactic. Certainly you will disagree--but at least consider that there is room for disagreement on this subject, that your perspective on it is not the only plausible one, and so it may not be justifiable to hector people for using a different approach as if they were naive fools. From other perspectives it is you who are the naive one.

Notice taken.
Same as you I gave my 5 cents to this article/post, nothing more. I have the feeling that you sometimes read too much between the lines, but fine, I can cope with that.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm in my fifties; I had taken you for quite young.
I for my part want EGS to fail, and stand as an example of what not to do for other would-be Steam competitors, in hopes that such future competitors decide to do things differently (and in the mean while a platform, Steam, which backs Linux and has certain other advantages continues to dominate). If it unfortunately succeeds, I suppose I would prefer it support Linux than not. But again, the connection you draw between this and how we talk about Tim Sweeney is mistaken.

Hats off! I'm 44 years old, married and have 2 sons dancing every day on my nose.
There is no better linux supporter than Valve, Feral, ...right.
Let me explain what I think...
Valve released Steam september 2003. It took them 10 years to release Steam for linux in 2013.
When I'm not wrong, Half Life had a linux server from the start. What took so long?
Sure, the way Sweeney chose with EGS and exclusives is not very nice. But don't let forget that they are time based.
I have waited 10 years for Steam - so I can wait one year for Metro:Exodus as an example.
He said they are working on EAC. Doesn't this sound good?. And while they are at it why should they ignore the fact, that Linux is moving into the foreground... Vulkan, more and more Mesa developers, Proton/Wine, DXVK, Valve as linux employer and developer, D9VK, Intel developing der own GPUs with linux in mind, Stadia...
EGS is only 1/2 years old and far from being complete.
I HOPE that Epic will release a linux client as soon as possible - finishing EAC is a good start.
When this happens, then we CONSUMERS have another place where we can choose to buy our games or not.
I also think that UE4 is a good engine (Everspace, _Observer, ...) and we might lose it if we treat the people behind it worse.
The best we can do is to convince more people/companies to support linux, be patient and polite.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyYou are telling everyone how to act--in a nutshell, that none of us should criticize public figures in general or Tim Sweeney in particular. And in a rather pushy way, tending to approach the hot-under-the-collar, although you're not getting personal. This seems preachy. I don't know about anyone else here, but personally, it gets my back up some.

Maybe this is because I'm older than the most people here and think differently.
I for my part want EGS for Linux - you not?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAnd who is treating whom how in this discussion? You seem an imperfect instance of what you preach.

I'm preaching nothing.
My last two sentences...

Quoting: johndoeYou will never get a "higher" respect when you treat people this way.

...were not directed towards Munk - sorry for the confusion.

It was meant in common and to be honest... it describes ME some years back.

Agreed.

Quoting: Munkeven if it's insulting.

Disagreed.
