Quoting: pete910Whilst great for lutris, Surely 25k would have covered the cost of making their game launcher/client run native along with fortnite ? Or at least a good way toward it .
That might be enough to fund a small team for a few weeks to get a proof of concept build of the store out. But once you start getting a QA process rolling and either adding a proton like infrastructure or supporting native ports in the store, then the costs go way up in the context of a big company of people with decent salaries.

And in those kinds of companies (especially ones with public shareholders or outside investors) the costs have to have a compelling ROI model. Valve can do what they do precisely because they are incredibly profitable and privately owned.

The lutris grant is a pretty good start to fund a community supported approach. Obviously it's not ideal for us. But improving the tooling around the wine ecosystem can't hurt.
I said native version of their client, I said nothing regards adding things like proton. Somehow I can't see it taking a team of "good" devs to get what they have now running native .

I see what you are saying though , does seem more like a buy off rather than a legitimate funding grant.

Quoting: pete910Argentinas economical situation I can't help with, though I would have thought it's down to the individuals economical situation :P
Yeah, in the end is all related to individual situations... and if you were fast enough in order to buy before the devaluation XD

By the way, Comandante is definitely a LGA fanboy ;) Still, I went from a 3470k to a 3700X, no regrets!
Ironically it has been the source of pain recently for intell with a few of their chips failing due to the pads burning under load !

Not sure how it makes a difference either way, once it's installed that's the last time you see it until upgrade.

Though I guess the not so careful don't like the pins on PGA chips d

Quoting: pete910Time to retire that 4790k, it's a severe bottle neck !
One, that hardware belongs to my Windows 7 SP1 machine.... And is not a pirated Windows; is a legit one and it doesn't support recent processors.

Two, Impossible to retire that CPU with the actual economical situation of Argentina...
Odd, win 7 ran fine on my ryzen 1 :huh:

Legit or not makes no difference, not that I implied you had pirated anything :O

Oh boy, I really hope Feral can get enough cash out of this game..
That's a little unfair of Square Enix to do that so soon after the Linux release.
Maybe so, but this wasn't exactly hard to predict based on the discounts Square Enix tends to give their games a year after release.
Maybe so, would have thought they'd have given at least a month before the drop.

Quoting: rcritSadly it won't install for me. It will only download the shader cache and not the game.
Yep the very same thing happens to me now, before I cound't even proceed to the checkout on Steam and now it only downloads the shader caches... Not a brilliant release this...
Not to be funny but it seems to be an issue at your end, the rest of us appear to have had no problem with it, including myself.

Hardly Ferrals fault, No ?
The purchase problems where clearly Steams fault since they had some filter that decided that one of the included DLCs in the bundle (and the bundle is the only available item for this game in my region) was already present in the game itself so it refused to continue.

However the "only download shader cache" solved itself, once the shaders where downloaded the game appeared in the download queue. So it was just that it didn't appear in the queue in the normal way.

edit: and in no way have I blamed Feral for this, this is all on Steam.
Ah, I see what you mean. Never looked at what downloaded first as set to install then left it.

The wording used came across like it was aimed at ferral screwing up to me, Sorry.
