Quoting: eloThis is neat, but wow the server is popular. Full almost all the time T_T

I've been considering a second server, since ours are so popular. I think it's due to location (UK) so it gives non-us people a decent ping.

Let me know if it continues.

This is literally me:

Quoting: throghNot a single release of those is available without Steam or DRM in general.
Or I have old information? Making my concurrent Linux-distribution to another closed system with dongled services? No thanks!

All big releases go to Steam, that's basically a standard for PC gaming (apart from EA/Blizzard games). You either have to learn to live with it and accept some compromises, or stop complaining about it as it's likely not going to change.

Quoting: NovenTheHeroI will give it some time tonight. I couldn't play it because the mouse would read about 1 cm above the cursor.

There is no linux version available to play right at the moment unfortunately.

What are you on about? The game is available for Linux right now.

I think I need to do a mad panic over the next week to get some games finished so I have some time :D

Quoting: GuestI don't think steam is the place to put workarounds. It ties the game to Steam - worse yet, it might tie it to a specific version of Steam, and breaks with an update. Better to keep it in the game's launcher.

I agree, that's a bad idea for that exact reason.

Quoting: GuestThis kind of news is useful as GOG makes the same mistake as other stores: when you sort the Linux games by release date they sort by the Windows release date instead. So devs who don’t release for Linux day one have a great chance of Linux users ignoring that their game even exists.

It would certainly be nice if the filters where a little smarter, but it's likely such platform-specific stuff to make it a mess.

Quoting: Samsai

Reading some more replies, it seems like they might go for a whitelist of applications and games known to work with it which does sound like a reasonable solution to me. However, some are not happy with the idea of having any kind of application profiles or specific lists, even just to get the ball rolling.

I do understand why some people are negative about such application profiles because in recent times these have been brought up multiple times and it seems that the Mesa devs are increasingly interested in using such profiles. As far as I'm concerned, if they really want to implement these profiles they should at least be kept properly separated from the main logic to keep the code clean in the long run. I would really hate to see Mesa become a mess of case-by-case optimizations on top of other case-by-case optimizations. I'm much more in favour of developers doing those optimizations themselves.

Well, I think they just grab from a list, it's not actually in the code directly, that's what a whitelist is for to separate from becoming game-specific stuff.

Quoting: GuestAll these and lets not forget Torment Tides of Numera is coming out this month also. I'll pick up Hitman as soon as it's released for linux even though I've never played one of the series games before. Feral you are the best.

God damn, I keep forgetting about that one myself.
