Quoting: PangaeaCorporations being evil thunder**** non-shocker.

Ha, one of the reasons I enjoy this page a bit more than others is that there isn't a language filter. Sure, there are some people who overly use such colorful words, but occasionally it just needs to be said unfiltered, and I believe this is one of those times.

Quoting: GuestIf it was a clean-room implementation there wouldn't be as much of a problem, however this was reverse engineered directly from the binaries it seems. That's a bit more of an issue as far as countries with dmca style laws go.

There was a point in time where reverse engineering was perfectly legal. I'm not sure if it is at this point. But for the most part there has to be some form of being able to read the data files to be able to recreate the game, and the term reverse engineering could technically be pinned to that. Pretty sure they weren't full on creating the engine through such means, were they?

I think the 'brings more sales' argument is shot down by sales, as they'd rather sell you new games instead of people being able to buy cheap old games. Plus with it being opened, they're afraid new content will be created for the old games, again hampering sales of new games.

Basically anti-consumer, pro-company thoughts.

I always love to see Dr Strangelove references in the wild :P Epic movie.

I think I shall watch it again. Brilliant show!

When stuff like this happens, it should just be released as a freeware thing. It isn't big enough to have an 'IP' from it, and otherwise will just be lost to time.

Quoting: STiATWell, at least funding the rest of the game should not be an issue by now.

They still have a lot of plans, I managed to play it a bit by now, but I'll probably wait for the finished product for a play through.

This is the main reason I haven't really tried harder to start playing it. Like I really wanted to get into 7 days to Die, and played it quite a bit, but it always felt just on the cusp of being great, and didn't want to keep playing it until it was really finished.

Some games stay in Early Access for far too long...

Quoting: hardpenguinBtw what is the original source of "largely developed on Linux" info? Could not find it on GOL.

The developer has been quite open about it in their official Discord, they mentioned a while ago they completely removed Windows and that they're a dedicated Linux supporter. They even mentioned clearly they wouldn't do Epic exclusively, unless Epic Store supported Linux and so on and so on. They're a big Linux user and fan :)

I need to join their Discord I suppose to see if they can add more resolutions to the full screen mode. Happy to test.

I finally had to give up on KDE on Garuda Linux. I just kept freaking out (nvidia 980 here).

Quoting: slaapliedje'in this day and age a program can't detect all the weird resolutions out there and have just a set static amount listed?'

Sounds like the game only takes a subset of the list of resolutions the driver pushes out. 10+ years ago, the list of resolutions was insanely long, even before the HD screens. I wouldn't be surprised if the game did some filtering to not give a list of 100 resolutions and their refresh rate possibilities.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI could install it in Windows and see if it's a Linux issue vs Game issue.

If it is a Linux issue, that would be disappointing. I hope there is a simple config file to set the options u need.

Normally there is one, I can't seem to find it though. Granted I haven't spent a large amount of time looking for it (been a tad busy with the work thing, and somehow having terrible luck with blowing up boot loaders, while trying to mess with Garuda (finally gave up on that and am just putting my normal Arch install onto the SSD, as either KDE or Garuda keeps having weird issues).

It wouldn't even be that bad if Valheim also supported Borderless Windowed mode, but it's either Windowed (with the giant gnome window bar up top) or fullscreen, which misses the resolution of the screen I have, so either it'll be with chunks off screen, or not full screen, which breaks any sort of focus I can have on the game. Damn ADHD :P

Quoting: slaapliedjeso if I'm going to load up a game, I prefer it take advantage of my screen

I totally understand that you want to get the full performance out of the system you have.

Yesterday evening, your post sounded to me like you could not enjoy it until it performs at 144Hz. It was like a boast of the money you can throw at your entertainment platform. Because who even needs some figuring out to run something on full-screen, while using Linux? Maybe I'm chasing a ghost in your comment though, sorry for jumping in the ghost-buster wagon like that.

No worries. Yeah it wasn't even the 144hz, it was more about 'in this day and age a program can't detect all the weird resolutions out there and have just a set static amount listed?' We've gotten to the point where Wide, Ultra wide and Super Ultrawide are far more common, and most games / engines can detect such things. I guess I could install it in Windows and see if it's a Linux issue vs Game issue.

Quoting: scaine2. Dolphin and Kate can't be run as sudo. I get the reasons why they did this, but absolutely screw any DE or app which takes the law into its own hands.

Out of curiosity, is it allowed at least under Wayland?

I wouldn't think so. But I ran into the 'no kate as sudo' issue yesterday as I was trying to edit the mirrorlist on garuda linux as the installer kept messing up something. Vim wasn't installed, Nano wasn't installed... tried kate, but it wouldn't let me open it with sudo... talk about annoying.

Finally managed to get something working.

SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit <file>

Ha this would have helped when it was busted. Now I can use vim :)
