I'm so excited about this game, it's ridiculous!!!

I hope they'll be no day-1 bugs on Linux.

I don't know if this blog post have been posted here, but here it comes: https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2019-09-17-rms.html [External Link]

It's a bit difficult to read (aesthetically), but I think it is worth it, at least the conclusion if you don't have the time to read everything.

And, as he says: "it is possible (but unlikely) that RMS is not a harmless sort but a scheming criminal mastermind. Still, one can only work with the evidence as it is presented at the time."

@GamingOnLinux If I understand correctly, now the top priority is to bring more users onto Linux. Why not make an article about how to move over from Windows to Linux? and be really upfront about what, in 2019, you can't do with Linux.

Most of the articles I've seen about that emphasizes on what Linux can do more than Windows to the point of overselling it a bit. Maybe being blunt about what to expect could flip some switches and make some people think "it's not as bad as I thought it would be, why not give it a try then?"

It's a bit of a shame Henri Verbeet seems a bit bitter about the community around Wine.

I guess it's not all his fault and some people on the internet can be really mean, but answering to these people especially is not really the way to go IMO.

I just tried it and honnestly, it needs way more work IMO. It showed a tutorial for maximum 10 seconds and then drop you in the game.. I lost 10 games out of 10 and didn't understood anything of what was happening (although I am already a Dota2 player).

It was very frustrating... (some would say: like the original game ;) )

Just 200$ and Liam will get to his next Patreon goal: "safely upgrade the server again to handle all the additional traffic we've been getting over time and gives us a small room for extra spikes in traffic"

(I recently increased my subscription with 3 more $$).

BTW Liam, did you think about giving different badges depending on the reward? ty

Quoting: jensNice to read that. I'm not into multiplayer games, certainly into the type of games where this is needed, but still very cool and I hope that this will get more users to switch to Linux.

I was wondering though, to my knowledge (I'm not at home in this domain) this kind of anti-cheat software mostly ensure that no one tampered with the game files, related libraries and game state in memory . If one wanted to cheat on Linux, wouldn't it be far easier to keep the game, libraries and Steam (Play) related files as is, but directly target the GPU drivers (kernel modules, mesa etc) and tinker there to lets say make things transparent in a game? Is there even a chance to detect something like this with anti-cheat software?

I think that a good question to ask as well is how different it is from Windows situation? It's still possible to disassemble any DLL or EXE file, modify it, recompile it, and here goes your cheating solution.

So how BattlEye and EAC can prevent that, do they require everyone to sign every file? If so, why not doing so on Linux as well? I mean, although restrictive, I would be fine with "if you want to play this game online, you need your official distributions drivers".
