Quoting: fleskDoes RPG Maker MV actually work on Linux? It has a Tux icon, but according to the description, it only works on Windows and Mac.

Sure does, just loaded it up just now.

Quoting: g000h

Quoting: scaineCurious that you got KF2 to work in Proton/Wine? I bought the game on sale to give it a shot, but ran into this bug [External Link], which resets all perks to zero at the end of earning any experience. I refunded it on the same day I bought it, with 45 minutes played.

If it weren't for that bug, I'd still be playing it right now - great performance and no visual issues at all that I could see. The game played perfectly... it just threw away all my experience at the end of each run.

Are you playing online? And if so... how?

I was only quoting how it performed (speed-wise) for me. Only played it for about 2 hours, through a number of levels, and quit playing and uninstalled. I was playing single player and wasn't checking to see if the saves worked properly. As I haven't got the more up-to-date Nvidia drivers installed yet (i.e. I just use the regular packaged drivers 390.xx ) , I've been holding back from putting too much effort into Proton gaming. I'd be well stuck into Skyrim by now, if the sound problem (in Proton) was solved.

I know I should test out SkyrimVR in Linux, but then I want to play it with all the mods I spent days installing. Then again I literally have spent more time finding and getting the mods installed than I have playing it... Shooting things with a bow in VR is a skill I'll need to actually learn...

Quoting: GuestI always love statistics that prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that 1080p and lower resolutions still form the vast majority of desktop pcs and that only a tiny minority uses 1440p and 4k. Not only Ubuntu's but Steam's statistics are similar.

I agree..
Sure, 4K will be an standard in 10 years, but today 1920x1080 is the queen, followed by 1366x768. Developers and game reviewers must take note on that..

Quoting: GuestIt is especially interesting considering that anywhere you look online when gpus are discussed, 99% of the comments speak about the 1080ti and 2080ti and nothing else, that AMD has no viable/competitive product to buy, that they need a 1080ti competitor. I even recall some people on Phoronix forums telling me the same stuff, that they don't consider amd gpus as viable despite the opensource drivers cause they absolutely need 1080ti performance on Linux...

I think that the gamers obsessed with the 4K, 1080ti and the 2080ti are trying to compensate something...You know..something physical.

A true game reviewer should do the game benchmarks and reviews using a wide variety of hardware .. true reachable hardware and not just the overpriced top cards supplied by an sponsor...
I don't trust in official game requirements because, sometimes, publishers are sponsored by a GPU brand..
I think the same about the CPU side.

I generally game on my 27inch 2560x1440@144hz monitor with a 1080gtx, but it was handled fine by my 980GTX. What the 1080 does better is with my Vive Pro, in which the resolution is truly useful (otherwise it is a blurry mess). Some games do simply need that extra power to run correctly, I am talking about Elite: Dangerous for one.

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: slaapliedjeHmm, I have been running 4.18 on Debian Sid for a long time now and haven't had an issue. It has ran about the same as it always has. Wonder if they already blacklist it. Will have to check.

The module is not built in Debian kernels. Just checked.

Well that explains that!

I had a period where it wouldn't start, but I think it was due to me missing some libraries.

But I have had Deus Ex (ported by Feral) crash to gnome quite a few times, so it is all very subjective. Software has bugs. It is annoying, but it happens.

Quoting: Power-Metal-Games

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: Power-Metal-GamesIt's Ubuntu 18.04. I assure you that I tried every possible thing I found on the internet and NOTHING worked. Not a big thing because I work every day so it's better not to play at all. :D I will just wait a little and reinstall the OS.

Wasn't there a bug and in the Ubuntu 18.04 Steam package? (Not the first time I got the impression installing Steam on Debian is easier than on Ubuntu...)

There is something that definitely prevents it from installing. But anyway, big thanks to all of you trying to help. This a great community. I almost regret that I mentioned that problem. :D

Weird, usually you just have to enable the i386 architecture then you can apt update and apt install steam.

Quoting: bingusIt works with SteamPlay, but the longer the wait the better. It was pretty clearly not done cooking.

I get the music / gamma page, then it's black except for the options to choose new game/load etc. Then I just get a black screen.

Quoting: sbolokanovAnyway. Guess I will use the cash for a book instead (an actual book, as in paper).

What's that?

Ha, all kidding aside, one thing that angers me is when I see a Kindle edition of a book cost more than getting a physical copy...
