If you have graphical issues, use this as a launch option:
-force-glcore42 -force-clamped
I asked some on Steam to try it and they confirmed it fixes it for AMD GPUs.

Quoting: johndoe
Quoting: GustyGhostDon't be surprised if in the next few days, articles are published detailing: John Smith, CEO/PR Rep/Analyst/whatever of Microsoft has graciously assumed the role of president of the FSF.
This is exactly what I think, too.
There is a lot more going on behind the scenes.

I also read every day linux news form "lxer.com". There you can read some more "facts" what is going on at FSF - I really don't like it.
I simply can't understand how it is possible that such companies like MS or Apple can even get a seat at FSF?! Something bad is going on IMHO.
Frankly, I think that's tin-foil hat level stuff there.

Roberta, a new Steam Play compatibility tool to play games with a native ScummVM

Quoting: cprnSo... Steam Play is now a Windows games running platform similar to Lutris? Does Valve support any of the native versions of engines and translation layers other than Proton officially (as in: do any of the runscripts of officially supported Steam Play games run Roberta or Boxtron when you click "Play")?
They are unofficial so no, you need to force it onto the games like you would a specific version of Proton.

May I suggest taking that conversation to the following thread: An Open Letter to Liam Dawe on Censorship

I predict that the topic at hand will generate a lengthy debate as it is without crossing the streams, so to speak.
Yes, please direct any more posts about closing/opening comments to the Forum. I will not discuss it here any more as it's nothing to do with the article.

Yeah, threatening to closing discussion, because someone can't handle opposing views (like at the Ion Fury article)? When you want a civilized discussion/community, why not just censor naughty words, if it becomes heated, instead of ruining it for everybody? ?

It is interesting, looking back in time, I realize I gradually stopped reading all news portals which started censoring opinions they disagreed with or removing discussions entirely. I guess it's probably because there are many times when comments are as, or even more, useful than the article itself (e.g. pointing out factual errors or biases, updates to the news, links to other sources if a reader wants to educate himself on the topic).
It has absolutely nothing to do with opposing views. It's about people having respect, once people start losing that and going wild, comments can be closed or offending users posts removed. If people follow our rules, there's no issue.

As I've said for a long time, opposing views are welcome. Respect however, has to be shown to fellow readers.

For pointing out corrections, we have a dedicated bit above comments in a very defined box for people to use any time.

Quoting: PatolaAnd yet, this game does not require wine. lol. Any chance for renewed wine puns on this game??? :P
Playing this for a few more hours may or may not have given me some new material for wine release day puns.

Quoting: amataiP.S: I don't think the comment shall have been opened on this one, we'll see
We shall see how it goes, so far people have been okay.

As always, if people do repeatedly go overboard and make the community a bad place, the comments can be closed at any time.

Quoting: antisol"We will look into Linux after the console launches" is enough to get you on a list of games coming in 2019?? When I see a quote like that I read it as: "There is almost definitely not going to be a Linux port".
Yes because they've confirmed Linux multiple times, it has always been coming to Linux (original post and that quote is just the latest Timeline on when.
I hear what your saying but how many times have you heard confirmed only to hear sorry guys linux is just too hard or our linux guy left so it wont be happening now pheonix point bloodstained etc etc
Well I don't know what you're expecting me to say or do? Ignore every developer who says their game is coming?
