Quoting: TheRiddickNice, so this support reshade filters? guessing not.
Wrong project, you want vkbasalt for that.

Quoting: PatolaYou forgot to say that you can also play it in 3D [External Link]...
Didn't forget, that's just not what this particular update was about.

Avorion, the massive open world build-your-own spaceship adventure is out now

Quoting: GuestI can't begin to express how immensely awesome this game is. Building a ship is just as much (if not more) of a time-sink as playing the game itself.

I plan on buying any and all DLC that eventually comes out. It's definitely in my top 4 games in my library.
I know right. Start out small, then you build something and want to mirror it, oh I'm out of resources. Into another sector you go to mine, then get sidetracked by a distress beacon and....it goes on.

Meal making automation in the Zach-like 'Neon Noodles' feels great

Quoting: SamsaiI streamed a bit of it and found it was pretty neat and challenging but it's not really programming because there isn't really a logic system to it, you are just putting the instructions in the right order. It is fun to try and make efficient pipelines with multiple bots while keeping things in sync, but I think if you want a programming game Human Resource Machine and the Zachtronics programming games (TIS-100, Shenzen I/O, EXAPUNKS) are a better option.
Yeah, agreed. It's good but it leans more into the puzzle side of things.

Steam Play Proton 5.0-4 is up fixing Origin, GTA V, Denuvo and more

Quoting: Geppeto35@Liam: sorry, badly formulated question: Jedi Fallen Order is not multiplayer and with their anticheat?
because the origin launcher and Jedi Fallen Order was reported multiple time as playable on protondb.
So I was wondering how this sentence can be interpreted "EA's Origin launcher is now functional and Jedi Fallen Order is playable" as this statement is not new and i don't figure out precisely what they improved in this step ^^
So I will be grateful about more information if anyone in the community has some.
The reports on ProtonDB are "tinker" reports, meaning people had to do a bunch of extras to get it working. Now, they shouldn't have to. ProtonDB changed their rating system, and it's a lot more confusing for people to look at - I'm not a fan, too messy now.

Quoting: Geppeto35if EA origin can be launch, no information about Apex and their Easy-Anti-Cheat?
If there was info it would be announced.

Quoting: orochi_kyoSo sorry to Liam and the GOL community for not being a good example of the "community".
I had to do a triple take on your comment, as I'm a little tired now but I don't really see anything wrong with what you said. You sounded quite respectable in how you put your views across. I quite liked the comparison of optimizations :) - even if I don't personally understand all the ins and outs of the different political views.

What does "flatpak search org.freedesktop.Platform" show you?

Quoting: peta77flatpak install BasemarkGPU-linux-1.2.0.flatpak

Fehler: The application com.basemark.BasemarkGPU/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08 which was not found


So seems they still only support ubuntu; won't work with openSUSE tumbleweed... Or they don't fully understand Linux distributions stuff yet...
Flatpaks still need certain other Flatpak "runtimes" to work, you're missing one it seems. Works fine on Manjaro as stated in the article.
Well then it at least should tell which requirement I miss. Because this:
requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08
looks to me as if it is looking at specific release numbers (and that's the only thing it mentions during install) which seems to be in current range of ubuntu. You may just be lucky with manjaro that the release number is in a proper range.
It's nothing to do with Ubuntu. Ubuntu don't even go with Flatpak, they have their own packaging with Snap. You're missing the setup of the Freedesktop Flatpak runtime it needs. This a problem your end, not theirs.
