I´ll be sure to buy this in time, since it does seem a lot like some classical adventures I love (Gabriel Knight, Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel). However, given the current linux issues, it might be fortunate that I decided to wait a bit to pick this one up because of all other interesting releases to purchase between september-november. :)

Really eager for this one, though I can´t quite decide wether to start with "DoE" or "Pathfinder" this month. I guess which ever title releases first, will be the one. Anyway, this will be a day one purchase.

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: duyfkenShadow of the Tomb Raider works day 1 of Pre-order early access on Linux with Proton.... Thank you Valve and DXVK! :D

No Feral port, no money. At some point, we need to support those who support us, dude. I love the Tomb Raider reboot games but won't play Shadow without a native port, unless 3 or more years pass and Feral decides not to port it.

I feel this is starting to become a little bit of an issue. With the lack of knowledge about some potential upcoming linux ports, as well as the secrecy, hints and teasing, you no longer know which games are "safe" to buy with Steam Play in mind and which games might at some point gain a native port.(that you´d obviously want to support instead)

For example, I´ve several games that I might buy once I know they work flawlessly with Steam Play: ELEX, Call of Cthulhu, The Sinking City, Vampyr, The Technomancer, Shadow Warrior 2, Grim Dawn, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Just Cause 3, Wolfenstein II...and many others. However, if there´s even the *slightest* chanse that one or more of them will get a native port at some point, I´d naturally abstain from buying until I can buy native.

It’s very interesting to hear that Ethan Lee is looking into Proton work, hopefully he can jump in at the deep end with Valve like the creator of DXVK has. He certainly has the credentials needed for such a task.

That would be super! The XNA-based old school rpg "Under Rail", is still a no go with Proton, so an infusion of XNAtoFNA might be just what the doctor ordered.

Lol, same day as "Pathfinder: Kingmaker" is released. I´m basically at the beginning of the endgame now and I plan to finish "The Beast of Winter" before doing that. I haven´t decided if I should hold off on finishing the main campaign until this arrives though. :S:

I´m playing "Prey" (2006) the great oldie that works spendid with Steam Play, also a bit of "Doom" (2016) and "Mirror´s Edge". On the native front, I´m finally getting close to the end of PoE2 (right when the second expansion is due).

Getting more hyped about this! For a while I was more interested in the new "Ultima Underworld" title, but now I feel these two hold equal promise of a pleasant gameplay experience.

"When was the last time you used Wine and/or Steam Play to play a Windows game?"

Either something like that, or two separate questions to differentiate between those who (like myself) pretty much only use the Proton version and only extremly rarely use Wine in the classical sense and those who only use the classical version as well as those who make regular use of both.

Great! It´s nice to have some extra confirmation that it is coming. Ordinarily, I might be a bit worried about a possible prolonged delay after the windows release but with the current "Steam Play" situation, there´s no risk of a game shortage anytime soon.

I really want to buy "Battle Chasers" and "Silver", however I have such a huge backlog since I did virtually no gaming from mid-may to mid-august.

If I thought things were getting bad on the "backlog front" *before* Steam Play/Proton, then afterwards....it´s "Backlog Armageddon". :dizzy:

This weekend I´ll keep playing PoE2, I´ll probably also start playing "Tesla Effect" from my beloved Tex Murphy Adventure series. Perhaps also some "Monkey Island" and I kinda miss the great atmosphere from "Alan Wake", just reinstalled and it seems to work great. I may very well decide to install a whole bunch of other old favorites, as well as windows games that I never got around to installing.
