OpenTESArena - a modern game engine for The Elder Scrolls: Arena has a new release
3 Apr 2020 at 10:12 am UTC

This is so much fun! I missed Arena completely and started my TES adventure with Daggerfall. Which was equally amazing and terrible. Dungeons were glued together from pre-made sections and completely broken. I remember having to use cheats to open doors and progress as they just didn't work properly. Or maybe I was too stupid.

Anyway, I just spent 30 minutes walking around in this and it seems much better than Daggerfall as far as dungeons are concerned. A lot of things are working and even though there's no game there yet, it's already very impressive. Fantastic work!

New SteamVR Beta has some essential Half-Life: Alyx fixes for Linux

Thanks, I'll try all that. I do remember setting 80 Hz being better, but then I saw my frame times well within the limit and put it higher. I have legacy on, it helps or maybe doesn't, it's hard to tell. Looks like I have my work cut out for me. :-)

Quoting: EhvisAlso, I'm running on Nvidia and while it has specific issues with reprojection, it can still be made to work reasonable well. It takes a bit of research and configuration, but nothing that hasn't been know for a year.
Any pointers? I get terrible stutter in Alyx I could do without.

Half-Life: Alyx arrives today (Linux should come later) and CS:GO gets Alyx cosmetics

It wasn't starting for me yesterday, but started first time today. My computer is barely fast enough to run it, but I can play if I'm not too picky. Unfortunately, I forgot the Index is not suitable for glasses and I didn't put my contacts in today, so it was all rather blurry. Will play more tomorrow.

I'm downloading it right now, it's supposed to unlock in approx. 6 hours. I'm not expecting much, unfortunately, my computer does not meet minimum requirements. I'll try it out for sure, though.

That said again, have you tried installing cmake? That's the most obvious error in your log.

Try just downloading the latest release, it has a script that installs it, there's no need to compile.

That said, it doesn't work for me. I reported a bug, the dev has been very responsive in trying to identify the problem, very nice going.

What have you been playing recently and what are your thoughts?

Ah, DS2 on hardcore. Quite the experience.

Indivisible. It’s great, too bad the Linux version requires 8GB RAM with 8GB swap when the other versions are fine with 6GB RAM only. I’m playing with the minimum memory required and some locations need 20 minutes to load (I’m not exaggerating). Still, it runs fine otherwise and the characters and setting and story and level design are all good.
