Quoting: GuestI discovered yesterday that I can use Ultra setting for the textures if I use an Openbox session instead of KDE Plasma...

I think this is something worth noting for people with low end / low memory systems, just out of curiosity today I ran a small test on my machine with MATE and Openbox, the difference was 400mb less. On my main machine with 16GB this didn't make much difference as expected, however on my laptop it was quite a jump and games performed better.

Thanks for the headsup, this was quite eye opening :-)

I've tried TW3 on my system with this update, even completed a quest roughly 15-20mins of gameplay. No issues encountered.

The Staging release for 4.6 is out, I just gave it a spin with the newly included esync patches and it's working fine.

Another exciting Wine release, the good news don't end here though - ahead of the official announcement, the Staging release for 4.6 will include the popular eSync patches.

Great times ahead :)

For half a minute I liked what I saw especially with offline and LAN support (yay), that was until I got to this part (from their KS page):

The only form of real money microtransactions Last Epoch will ever have are cosmetic, our currency for such is even named Cosmetic Points (CP) to emphasize this point. We will continually add in new exciting armor skins, skill effects, companion pets, and whatever else we dream up that can make your character visually more awesome and unique. No experience speed items, stat boost items, character boosts, or any other source of player power will be purchasable with real money. We do not believe in pay-to-win models.

So basically this will be like Diablo 3 with official Linux support, which is a nice thing however I feel it is badly executed due to their business decision.

I'd rather pay a hefty sum upfront and then purchase skins as DLC later.

Quoting: TheReaperUKDone some testing with Vulkan but it does freeze up the whole game at some random point, More so when running Mods.

Back to OpenGL and some of my Mods (Solace Dreams, 1 of my fav mods) now have crash issues as it just pops up the console with some error log and when you close game console it returns to the menu of the game/mod, Also save games are not compatible with last release so you have to start again if like me you are half way through a very big Mega Wad (Eviternity).

Might have to look for another Doom engine/Older GZDoom just so i can keep my favourite Mods working, My fault as my GZDoom is from AUR and cannot find an older version now:(

You can always run older versions in portable mode. That way you can use different versions of GZDoom uninterrupted.

How the hell did I miss this beauty, this game looks fun I'll definitely check it out soon. Looks potato laptop friendly too :)

Quoting: ShmerlI wish Debian developers would get around to reviewing faudio. It's still stuck and not moving:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/faudio_19.02-1.html [External Link]

That prevents using Wine past 4.2 there.

Newer Wine versions can still be used and compiled without FAudio, the staging patches even reverted the FAudio commits.

@Philip - Thanks for the fine release, I'm glad you even took the time to add the fixes for Grim Dawn and Dark Souls :)

Just gave this rc1 a quick test and I'm really liking the new slipstream rework, also it could be my impression but in some cases the game looks even better than 0.9x. Really nice work from the STK team :)
