Quoting: loggeSo. It is still a great game. I even"managed" to get legions working after actually reading the description to it.

The only thing I noticed was, that my troops did not get a symbolic icon when zooming out - my enemies' forces did, though.

Pretty sure that was a bug they fixed in another update to this :)

Edit: Spelling

Quoting: GuestHope this fixes the issue with it constantly syncing my steam libary

Don't even have the Sync option for my steam account turned on yet everytime I boot up steam it'll add tons of games from my steam library onto lutris which I don't want

The Sync option seems to never do anything for me, shows games I don't even have installed at the moment too. Strange feature.

Quoting: liamdaweI have a proper statement from the developer. I am waiting for full confirmation that I can post it.

Thank you, I guess that will put things into perspective. Currently the article is, from what I understand, factually and technically completely correct, but feels a little bit like "making it bigger than it actually is". Revering to DRM and Steam in that context in the last paragraph, while technically correct, seemed to emphasize that feeling after reading that article, at least for me.

Thanks for the actual feedback. About the DRM bit, probably true but I sometimes feel the need for mention it.

Quoting: GuestWhat a crappy baiter news/article is that? Yeah lets slip in standards ...

Thanks for the feedback, what is wrong with it exactly?

Quoting: ScooptaLiam you mention DRM free games as if they don't exist on steam. People seem to misunderstand. Just because a game is on steam doesn't mean it's DRMed and it doesn't mean you can't back it up. Steam does provide OPTIONAL DRM that a Dev must deliberately choose to use. There are actually a good number of games in my steam library that are not DRMed at all. An easy way to test is to run the game manually and see if it sets your steam status to in game. Even some games that do that don't actually require steam to be present so the most accurate way of testing would be to close steam and then try to run the game.

Sure, but plenty of Steam games have some form of Steam integration. I'm sure you understood my wider point.

I understand the point but at the same time I think people make a bigger deal out of Steam's DRM than it actually is. Hell depending on the game there are even extremely trivial ways around it.

I rarely make a big deal out of Steam's DRM and in this case it wasn't specifically about Steam's DRM. It was mentioned, sure, but only because this happened on Steam. The main point is that it's a reminder on how stuff can be taken away.

Quoting: Numeric

Quoting: AciD@Numeric, just to be sure, run a memtest to check that your RAM is 100% ok.
What you are describing reminds me of weird heisenbugs due to faulty RAM.

@AciD, pb Thanks for your thoughts in troubleshooting my issue. I went ahead and purged my system of all traces of steam (files, libs, steam-runtime), rebooted my Arch box, reinstalled steam and downloaded just Hitman. Many hours later, I found the download successful and now the game launches! I have no clue where the final issue was, but it works nows. Unforunately, I have a day or two of GiBs to re-download :( Oh well, now back to agent 47 and Colorado!

-Numeric

Really glad to see you got it working :)

Quoting: liamdaweJust to add, as further evidence of this, here's my own purchase details: https://imgur.com/a/gmJuBfg [External Link]

Notice I personally purchased it on itch like I said, my Steam key given was also from a "beta" batch.

Then the developer has fucked up - retail keys should be marked as such. This does not however prove malicious intent whatsoever, which is what you are claiming.

As already argued on Reddit, the developer already fully admitted fault. Arguing against what has already been said in public is silly.

Yet you are portraying it as deliberate malicious intent when you have no proof of that whatsoever, apart from the posting of a guy who was obviously pissed off that his key had been revoked, and assumed it was due to his negative review.

edit: Moreover, this is not a Linux issue - other than the fact that the game has a Linux build, the poster hasnt even mentioned Linux.

Do you not have your glasses on or something? The developer email reply literally explained it was due to the review.

Keep arguing blindly against it all you like, the developer agreed and admitted the fault was their own.

Edit: To be clear on something, "malicious intent" is not something I said in the article. I portrayed it exactly as it is.

Also, let's be clear something. The user was obviously targeted. How else would they have known that specific key was for that specific review on Steam? Their own email admits that and they didn't refute it, not even one tiny bit. If it was a case of removing beta keys, why didn't anyone else get theirs removed? Why didn't mine? And so on. To argue that this wasn't intentional is madness.

Edit 2: And now they've deleted their account and comments so it looks like I'm arguing with myself, happy Saturday,
