I've tested Darksiders - Warmastered Edition with this release, FMV's are still a no go even with this release (staging patches included).

The Rise of the Giant "free DLC" for Dead Cells is out and it's fantastic as expected

Liam you may want to consider trying out Antimicro for controller support, it is an excellent piece of software which lets you map keyboard functions to a controller. I am using it with a cheap controller and works very well with Dead Cells.

I watched the new release video and have been left enchanted by all the hard work that is constantly going into this project.

Thank You!!

Nice to see there's chance for a Linux version. I'd definitely buy it. For now I'm happy this isn't going to be a 1 year Epic deal (so far).

Just tested Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, videos still don't play without the native overrides. I'm glad the Wine team are tackling this important piece of the puzzle, it's a feature many games depend on.

Quoting: VodkaChicken
Quoting: Avehicle7887Anyone know how I can use FAudio with older Wine versions? I know Proton does this for a while but how about using it with just Wine?

So far I've managed to build the "libFAudio.so" library but I'm at a roadblock how to get Wine to use it.
Try using these mingw builds https://github.com/Kron4ek/FAudio-Builds [External Link] as dll overrides.
Knew I was missing something > building the libraries as native dll's it seems. Will try these thanks :)

This may be the first Unreal game using Vulkan on Linux. Hopefully more will follow.

Quoting: KlaasIs this the micro-transactions game that was removed from GOG because the developer couldn't sell them without DRM?
Yup, that very same game. It was also one of those games some GOG users were happy to see it gone.

Dead Cells is getting a huge free update 'Rise of the Giant' that's due soon, available for testing

Unless I do something silly I almost always get to the final boss however I've never been able to beat him yet. It can be a hard game at times but I never felt frustrated when dying. I also like the progression system of the game, and the unlocks are meaningful. Easily a recommended game.
