Quoting: ThorstenFolkersWe rely on some Steam matchmaking features for the online Multiplayer and also copy-protection. So a DRM-free version is possible in the future but is not something we are working towards at the moment.

Thanks!

Thorsten

Thank you for your response! Sadly, I'm not interested anymore and will pass. Good luck!

Stop the production and drop the project, he is not interested anymore!!

OMG LOL. "DRM free" kids are so entitled.

It looks good, Im interested in local splitscreen.

There's no need to be rude just because someone doesn't like Steam, this topic has been debated for years and it's simply a matter of one's perspective.

Quoting: crt0mega

Quoting: Avehicle7887I've tested the game on my laptop: Debian 9 running Xfce, Intel HD Graphics. Game behaves exactly as on my desktop and runs out of memory just as fast.

Does this happen with older Wine versions, too?

The very oldest version I have is 1.8 staging. I'm trying mrdeathjr's settings as I write this, Will run some tests and edit this post.

EDIT:

Tried the game with mrdeathjr's settings (3.0rc6) = kept to 3.7 to 3.8 Virtual Mem usage, finished 2 races, this keeps confirming my suspicion that the higher the graphics detail, the more is likely to crash.

@crt0mega: Tried it under 1.8 Staging, problem present even in that version.

Quoting: mrdeathjrGood date, in skyrim reports same issue with many mods (in my case only tests a few and works ok)

In my case works but use custom settings showed in video and use windows xp as windows to imitate in wine cfg

However i use xfce but do you use gnome ?

Do you report this behavior to wine devs aka bug?

And with other settings game still crash?

Seeking video error cited openal ?

In my case use wine 32 bit compiled* with all dependencies satisfied with openal needs:

*In your case seems use build complete WOW64, i use only i386

Maybe can try with only i386 wine

^_^

I use MATE desktop, just tried 32bit only Wine - game crashes at first race. Could you please record a video with a window showing the Virtual Memory usage as you play?

Just tested Race Driver: GRID, as I suspected setting the graphics details to high is just as crash happy as always. It seems the way WINE works, it causes a higher virtual memory usage compared to Windows and once 32bit games reach the 4GB Virtual memory usage they crash.

If anyone has any idea what am I doing wrong I would love to solve this mystery, here's a video showing the issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12ImU1RuMSGF9Jpen964cHntRVG9gJ-l5/view?usp=sharing [External Link]

As you can see, the game has only been active for 13 mins then crashed due to out of memory.

Quoting: mrdeathjrAnd now with Wine 3.0

View video on youtube.com

How in the hell you can play longer than 1 hour without crashing. Every time I load Race Driver in Wine, it always runs out of virtual memory and crashes during the first race.

I will try it again with 3.0 and hope this issue is resolved. GRID 1 is one of my fav racing games.

Quoting: Leopard

They've mentioned that players on both GOG and Steam versions will be able to play friends and join public games from their game client.

Well , you can't on GOG version because there is no platform equality on GOG.

Was about to say this myself. Without Galaxy on Linux how are GOG player supposed to play with Steam ones? (unless Harebrained is hosting their own servers).

Theirs may have been a blanket statement without knowing Galaxy on Linux is missing.

It's been ages since I bought a Windows game to play with Wine, thanks to your video I went ahead and bought both NecroVisioN games.

May I ask how did you turn off the Vsync in this game? There's no in game setting or in the game's Bin/config.ini file either.

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääSuppose this is not a Unity game.

It is :D

My guess why this may be taking so much is because many devs are Windows only people and some may have never used Linux before. So despite Unity having an "export to Linux" button, it might not be as easy for them if issues arise.

As for me personally, I spent so much time in Linux these past 3 years that sometimes troubleshooting issues on Linux is much easier than in Windows.

Interesting setting and graphics design, judging by some comments on the Steam, it appears the devs care about their game and are committed to fix bugs and improve it. Will definitely be eye'ing this once it lands on GOG.

Liam you always mention the dual screen problem. Have you considered running 2 separate X screens? The only limitations it has is that you can't drag windows from one to another or play in 3840x1080 (which is horrible in most cases), otherwise it works perfectly and games always run on the monitor I want them on, including Unity ones.
