Looks like it will be a nice addition, however I refuse to touch anything made by these devs after the lack of Linux version Desperados 3 on GOG.

Not a legal expert but whether it's a clean room reverse engineer or not, the point remains that these people brought the game to native platforms, at the expense of their own time and 0 costs. They kept it open source and clearly stated you need to own the game to play, it's not like they were including the assets too. If I was Rockstar/Take Two, I'd give these people my blessing and let them do their thing as long as it's not harming anyone.

I considered buying these games solely thanks to this project, looks like I'll save my money from the greedy bullies.

Quoting: TheRiddickI was playing around with some GTA5 mods the other day and noticed some use DotNet4.8 script injection, and dotnet48 can't be installed on newer wine versions. The recommendation is to install wine-mono which got rid of errors but also the mods just didn't appear to work also.. shrug.

Wish I could launcher straight into GTA5 for testing, damn launchers are the bane of these games, its a launcher within a launcher within a launcher situation, bloody annoying! (for single player)

You can try installing dotnet4.8 with an older wine version and then upgrading Wine which will update the prefix without removing the files.

I had a similar issue with Batman Arkham Asylum and this method worked for me.

Looks CUTE, hopefully will make it to GOG too.

Hopefully this means more AMD gpu's for those who want them. I could have bought a 5700XT for a fair price today, but a friend convinced me it might be worth waiting at this point. It's a tough choice but probably the right one.

That 5600U CPU looks right up my alley, a shitton of mobile computing power and probably adequate for some gaming. Finding the sweet spot build will be a challenge though, I'm have zero tolerance for soldered ram, including soldered + 1 slot configs.

Waiting for Debian 11 this year, I use this distro as my main OS as it's easy to create an offline repo and it's rock solid (got a bunch of offline systems all over the house so its handy).

My current good old Debian 9 base is showing its' age. Many programs work fine and I even have a bleeding edge kernel, Mesa and Wine however there are a few odd cases where a software refuses to compile from source.

I'll probably try an Arch based setup on my laptop.

Quoting: GuestHeXen 2 is too "modern" as it runs via .exe [also there is no .WAD file anyway so yeah] so for that one you have to use WINE.

No you don't! - http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ [External Link] :tongue:

also newly improved video support with "infrastructure work for supporting video playback from Media Foundation".

Can't say I care much about RDR or Anno but I like this part.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: damarrinThere’s always the option to buy a box, eg here W3 costs around 33€ from a shop. I haven’t actually looked at the box to see if it’s a steam key. It’ll be rather useless to a Linux user if not, plus there’s always the debate about whether it counts as aLinux sale or not.

I vaguely remember boxes might not count as Linux sale even with a Steam key. (I had been so proud of my box with "Linux" printed very small somewhere on the backside back then...! :cry: )

The first time I saw Linux logo on a retail game was many years ago with Unreal Tournament 2004. Much as retail boxes are becoming a thing of the past, it would be great to see Linux icon on them. :smile:
