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.

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.

It's a regime, regimes are very, very serious about themselves.
Linux Mint and the Cinnamon desktop progressing well, all-time high donations

If anyone can make fractional scaling work well it's these guys. KDE's solution barely works, Gnome's creates more problems than it solves and the best comment from a foss developer on the issue I'd read went along the lines of "it's not our fault hw manufacturers put out badly designed computers (badly designed in this case meaning e.g. 1080p on a 13" screen), won't fix" - do you want people to use the system you make or not?
Anyway, I had to give up using Cinnamon on a computer I own for this specific reason and move to KDE which, as far as I can tell, deals best with this, but which unfortunately is too cluttered and messy for me. Looking forward to going back to Mint when this is implemented! :-)

NVIDIA end updates to the 340 series legacy driver for Linux

One thing I’ve been having to do since around 19.04 was edit the gdm config to use x11 instead of wayland, otherwise the gui wouldn’t start most of the time.

Personally I hope this last 340 version works with Ubuntu 20.04, that way I’ll be set for another five years.

The 340 driver works with the latest Ubuntu and Nvidia says it supports the 8200M so it’s strange you should be having problems. I have a 2008 MBP with Geforce 8600M and it works fine with Ubuntu 19.10.
