Are the devs being ironic? Enormous amount of work?
But, but... Proton just works, it's easy, eco-sustainable and sexy!1!

Quoting: LordDaveTheKindBought immediately yesterday night (also because of the 50% discount). I have played the tutorial part and it looks alright. What surprised me the most was how all the things have progressed in the last 7 years:

• Origins wasn't performing that great at launch.
• Odyssey was alright but it had plenty of crashes and stuttering issues.
• Valhalla was a DX12 only game and it came at that time that vkd3d-proton was under development and tuning, and there where some manual adjustements to do in order to make it work.
  

Now Mirage works out of the box. I can't say I'm not impressed about all the way we have been making so far.

Do you realize the game was originally released on pc more than a year ago, right?

Quoting: CyrilI find it awful to say that... Just because some devs did drop it doesn't mean that, when you see a new game with a Linux version, it's already a bad thing come on.

Software written for Windows is superior anyway.

Native Linux version? Hmmm, this makes me less likely to buy their game: we all know they will eventually drop/unsupport/lag-behind it...
Now, if they had a *supported* Proton version (whatever that means, I'm not really sure) that would be amazing!

Windows versions of games are just better.
Even betterer if you play them with no middleware, translation layers or other garbage... just like the universe intended.

Honest question: why does it takes a long time to release fixes when heroic gets broken?

Before this last version, GOG games were not installable on Linux since March of this year: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/3636 [External Link]
No hot-fix was released, solution was to wait until August (!) for a whole new Heroic release.

Now it's Amazon, empty libraries for everyone: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/issues/4005 [External Link]
This one is a Nile issue, fixed last week in Nile's repo, but still no Heroic release to *actually* fix it... probably postponed to a whole new Heroic release again, so around Christmas or something?

Quoting: dziadulewiczI think the developer should be contacted.

Sure, contact the guy who made his software freely available and tell him that his software needs to be just like you want it, add that you can't even be bothered to read any instructions, let alone contribute to its development in any way. I'm sure it's going to be glorious!
And people here are even defending this kind of attitude... wtf is wrong with you guys?
