I sent an e-mail to the author of GNU/Linux installer script for Neverwinter Nights. It looks like the Windows installer's version has been changed and number of files has been decreased. As I read the script, updating the script is not a big deal but out of my competence...

Quoting: riusmaApparently (source [External Link]) you can do that:

In the linux version you might encounter the case of being able to look around with the mouse, but having the moving keys (w/a/s/d) not responding. To fix this, you have to set the locale to C before launching, with the following command : LC_ALL=C /path/to/gone_home.x86_64

Yeah, that applies for the new game BTW. Mouse can be a bit jumpy with 1080p, so I needed to downgrade the resolution a bit.

Quoting: riusmaOn Steam the game may require to be launched with the "LC_ALL=C %command%" options (if the commands for moving don't respond in game). :)

How about DRM-Free version?

Quoting: GuppyBit annoying that you can only choose 3 tags to show fewer of - not even block, show *fewer* of. Still one can hope that adding visual novel to the list will stem the flood of crappy pixel boobs shovelware that keeps cropping up

Well, if you mean nude girl games which pop up every now and then, filter the term ANIME. ;-) But yes, we should have at least 10 filters.

Quoting: liamdaweIf you want to skip that section, you can enable the developer console in the options, and then press "`" to bring up the console and enter in this command:

sv_unlockedchapters 5

That will essentially skip that entire part, but where's the fun in that?

Actually, in that case, it would be better to skip the map instead of entire chapter.

map mapname

is the command.

I am still not sure but I had no crashes after removing libstdc++.so.6 library from the game directory. I even tried to hang out in and out of "Test Chamber" to reproduce the crash, nothing happened after deleting the file.

Edit: As it seems, the game is more unstable than I thought. The game crashes when vortigaunts blow a landed aircraft in bm_c2a5g map of Surface Tension chapter. I simply keep on hold until crashes will be fixed. Moreover, vortigaunts usually miss the targets and some HECU Marines wear disco gas masks. ^^

I wonder about the face of Randy .itchford from Gearbox then.

Well, if I recall correctly it is still not a XInput device which would be potentially problematic with some games. Microsoft recently released Xbox One S controller which support Bluetooth and XInput. Eventhough personally I prefer traditional DualShock design, I desire no config hurdles. So, next time I will get a new controller I am likely to go for Xbox One S controller.

Quoting: melkemindSo, just to be clear, you're saying Half Life 3 confirmed? :)

No, not at all. Do not get the wrong idea; at least in no less than 5 years time. :-) Black Mesa is in development for a long time; it was a free (of charge) Half-Life 2/Source Engine mod. However, it lacked the last Half-Life chapter Xen, and in still does. So, forums are full of jokes about missing Xen chapter for Black Mesa; even HL3 would be released earlier... :-P Well, Freeman's Mind is completed, The Freeman Chronicles is about to be released, hack even Prospekt [External Link] has Xen parts; so the jokes are not pointless. :-)
