Embark Studios confirm rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat for THE FINALS
24 Oct 2025 at 5:21 pm UTC

That is Denuvo anti-tamper. This is about Denuvo anti-cheat.
What makes you think Denuvo won't behave the same towards Wine across their anti-cheat as well ? Is there another game using Denuvo that don't do that ?

Denuvo means Linux players will be locked out of their game cycling through Proton versions whenever a new update comes out and momentarily borkes the game.

Around 70,000 users affected in Discord related breach which includes some government ID images

Highly disagree with the comment above mine. Every bit towards claiming one's privacy helps. It's not an all or nothing deal, where you should just give up and 'why bother'.

Additionally, Discord fucking sucks even without the privacy concerns, and is an actual hazard with them. The sooner we get a proper alternative that can be convincing for peers to jump ship, the better.

I was on a VPN while in the UK so I wouldn't know if it works there, but postimages dot org is a good alternative to imgur :smile:.

Most boring trilogy ever. Barely managed to finish the first one, and gave up on finishing the 2nd and the 3rd. Older Tomb Raider games were more fun.

Deus Ex Remastered announced and arrives in February 2026
25 Sep 2025 at 12:18 pm UTC Likes: 5

Deus Ex is the greatest game of all time. Anyone with a computer device and can understand English should experience it. This remaster appears more or less worthless, maybe it's good for modern console players, as the ported PS2 release of the game has a few differences from the original PC game, I heard.

I haven't played Deus Ex either, and I was conflicted between choosing vanilla, Revision and GMDX. Now comes this.
Obviously vanilla for first time playthrough. You're out to start with the actual game, not someone else's version of it.

The thought of a Linux gaming device with Nvidia GPU sounds like wild goose..

The first Hollow Knight: Silksong patch arrives next week - here's what's in it

Somehow I beat Sister Splinter easily today, despite having trouble with it last night. :grin:

The controller issues on Native were pretty damn annoying, so annoying that once I realised its a bug and the game is not actually supposed to play like this, I just switched to Proton, and frankly, this is just what I'm going to do for all games going forward. Just can't be bothered with these weird issues when Proton works perfectly.
