NVIDIA users also need to upgrade at least to driver version 550.54.14.
I know this is beta but this would be kinda difficult to me to achieve ☺️

550.54.14 was released back in February. The PPA [External Link] is your friend, although it really shouldn't be needed.

Get some quality twin-stick shooters in the latest Humble Bundle

Quoting: thoughtfulhippoThat's really disappointing about the Humble partner program. I always whacked the slider up for GOL, but now you don't even seem to be able to tell that any of the money is going to a partner. Previously it was very obvious.
Thanks for doing so before, a good few people did the same, so it's a genuinely huge loss for GOL overall.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII gets Windows system requirements with Linux and macOS details later
4 Oct 2024 at 10:43 am UTC

Quoting: LoudTechieInteresting.
Lets see this happen.
Denuvo isn't wine supported either, so they will have to make some choices.
I will count a wine compatible civVII as a Linux port.
Denuvo works just fine in Proton. Always has.

Epic Games reduce their cut for Unreal Engine games for same-day Epic Store launches

Quoting: finaldestNever ever have I visited the Epic games store and never ever will. I resented them when they took away Rocket league but when they started blackmailing publishers to rip games away from steam store foe exclusivity I vowed to never, ever touch that tripe of a company for as long as they are doing business.
Now now, let's not be silly about it. Using words like blackmail like this does nothing to help, because it's completely absurd. They offered exclusive deals for developers, and for a lot of developers that can mean keeping the lights on. If you're offered guaranteed money, you take it.

GE-Proton 9-15 released with an important fix for NVIDIA GPUs

I only mentioned Lutris since that was the original comment, Heroic works fine for me and is updated far more regularly too.

No worries at all, every bit helps :)

My favourite auto-battler Mechabellum is out now

Quoting: JarmerThis is a genre I have absolutely no experience with. Autobattler sounds interesting, but I really wish they had a demo. But then again, the games only $10 ???????????? CHOICES!
I genuinely think this is worth the punt. It's so easy to get into and just chill with, since you set it all up for a round, then sip you *favourite beverage* while the action happens. Can be quite challenging, but so fun to watch.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoCan I use it on Lutris without issues?...
Not yet. Lutris is still working on implementing ULWGL. Unfortunately, GloriousEggroll stopped updating Wine-GE prematurely (IMO) so we are stuck with 8-26. ULWGL (Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher) appears to have been renamed to or nicknamed UMU launcher. You can monitor it's status at

https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher [External Link]
I don't understand why they want to replace something that already WORKS with something that doesn't works yet..
Someone else should countinue the wine-GE project.
Because umu is just an entirely better system. It's not their fault Lutris has been slow to get support and an update out for it, they can't hold themselves back for someone else's software.
Name me an alternative to LUTRIS with the same clic'n'play experience.
Depends what for, I use Heroic personally.
