Quoting: CitirollerMy second ever PR on GitHub [External Link], contributing to an open Source Project finally made it:
a new System info tab in the preferences made it in which is very handy as you can quickly copy and paste your system info from it
It was fun implementing this and learning a little bit about the GTK library :D I hope my code is in good hands and is easy to maintain.
Nice contribution!
Wine 5.5 development release out with new features and fixes

. I tried your Lutris script but it failed after downloading the installer from GOG
GOG recently changed their API and Lutris does no more know how to download automatically GOG setup files.
Workaround: use last git version or disconnect GOG sync in "import games..." menu. Then Lutris will no more automatically download GOG setup file and will ask you instead for a local setup file.

However when I installed it on my laptop (Ryzen 3500U, identical software setup), I got 40FPS so the game might just dislike my hardware.
I think you found the cause.

@anarus, it recently works stable and enough fast on my old computer:
Ubuntu 19.10 64 bits - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 - Nvidia drivers 435.21 - 1920x1080 - Processor Intel i5-3570 3,4 Ghz - 16 Go RAM - resolution: 1920x1080 - fps: 60 (limited by my tv)

Spoiler, click me

I saw you are using DXVK 1.5.5, you should try 1.6, there is a performance boost for this game in this more recent version.

I wrote a Lutris script for the GOG edition, you could test it here:

Quoting: MohandevirStill hoping for the Steam Controller 2.0... Probably in vain, unfortunately. I can't stand dual stick controllers. I'm so clumsy with that.
Yes, me too, I think this controller deserved better.
Freeablo, a modern cross-platform open source game engine for the original Diablo

I just downloaded it (there is a 0.4 Linux packaged available on their official site) and launch it:
- no sound
- no credits (not very important)
- no options
- no video intro
...
I will see if I obtain better results compiling Freeablo myself.
But for the moment we are far to obtain DevilutionX or Tchernobog(+wine) game experience.
It's good to have another free Diablo engine project, this one is promising, let's see...

Quoting: legluondunetI wroted 3 Lutris scripts installer for this games:
- Heretic 2
I just tried your Lutris script for Heretic II incidentally, and it hangs for me at "Extracting data.tar.gz". Any idea what is going on there?
I have an idea, I just sent you a mp.

I wroted Lutris scripts installer for this games:
- Heretic 2
- Rune
- Unreal Gold
and I can say that, even if you can run them with some tweaks natively on Linux, you will obtain better result with Wine because Windows version:
- has more recent updates
- better multiplayer compatibility and stability
- you have access to alt/tab keys (not with old native Linux games)
Psyonix are ending support for Rocket League on both Linux and macOS (updated)

After testing the game on Wine with very nice result and look at the future realize plan (Directx11 or 12?), I finally decided to wait before to ask for a refund. For the moment this game works great, on Wine or Linux native.
I will ask for a refund only the day where the game does not work anymore with Wine/Linux native.
After all I bought this game from a bundle offer (Rocket League + Portal 2) at low price, I don't take a big risk.
But I can understand the disappointment form all Linux gamers which bought this game hoping they support a native Linux AAA game and developers.

For the moment you can still play this game, why to ask for a refund now?
Wait until you will have a real good reason for asking a refund: if they add EAC protection for example.
