Xbox One controller wireless on Linux gets better with 'xow' release 0.4

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...

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.

Feral Interactive are asking what you want ported to Linux again

Quoting: GuestIf that were true, their whole operation would have had to be in the red for the last few years. All the games i have from Feral worked with wine before they were ported. But having a port was always better than wine, even in cases like Hitman, that had some teething issues with the graphics.
"All the games i have from Feral worked with wine before they were ported"

Are you sure? It's not a long time Wine + DXVK support correctly Tomb Raider last episodes, Life is Strange 1/2, Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™, DEUS EX....All this games was not very well supported by Wine when Feral port them natively on Linux.

Quoting: GuestNot everyone wants to play with wine.
But it will be commercially more pertinent for Feral to make a Linux port from a game that is not working with Wine.

all Blizzard games
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
You can already play Age of Empires series and all Blizzard games on Linux with recent Wine version.
This needs some tweaks but I advice you to use Lutris scripts installer for easier and automatic install.
