I finally managed to get it through Humble Bundle about an hour or so ago. Now that I've spent some time with the game, I can say that it's very awesome, but if you didn't like Hollow Knight, you won't like this.

It is, for all intents and purposes, a more acrobatic Hollow Knight with a higher budget behind it. It feels faster and better put together, likely due to the developers now having more experience under their belt, but it's still Hollow Knight through and through.

...AND I LOVE IT! :D

I've been trying on and off for two and a half hours, and I still can't get it!

Damn you all! Let me have my turn! We need a queue!

Oh my good lord god, it's finally happening. I thought I had prepared for this, spent years preparing for it, but now that it's here, I feel so unready...

Quoting: garrettlChoosing Vulkan directly didn't work, but I didn't try experimental or GE yet, just the latest version of standard Proton 8.

I ran the Vulkan rev on my now ancient Geforce 970ti using both the latest Proton-GE, and Experimental, and it worked fine. I believe the developers would prefer people use Vulkan to play the game, but from my, admittedly unscientific very half-assed experimentations, I didn't notice much of a difference in quality or performance.

Quoting: KlaasUphill trough lave on both ways…

You know it.

It wasn't lava though. It was snow. Lava would've a bridge too far.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyLuxury! We used to have to game in a paper bag in t'middle of the road!

You had a WHOLE paper bag? When I was real young, all we had was an old stick covered in mud with a single pixel stuck on the end.

Quoting: slaapliedje...that'd be 640x800 resolution for each player.

Back when I was a kid, we got 320x240 if we were LUCKY, and we loved it! All the pixels were the size of your fist, but we didn't know any better. We just thought the world looked chunky.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI would buy several commercial tools right now if they were available starting with Affinity Photo 2 -- it was my understanding some people got it running in Bottles a few months back.

I was a part of that thread over on the Affinity forums.

Yeah, we got one of the last pre 2.0 releases to run in Bottles, but it wasn't exactly what I'd call a smooth experience. Between the flickering canvas, and the constant crashes, I'd say it's one step above "...well, at least we got it to boot."
