Quoting: 14

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoYes. In Windows, the Nvidia driver has a huge list of games and You can configure the driver settings for each individual games...
In Linux, to configure the driver settings for each game is not that easy.

It's not? Maybe not quite as easy, but there are Application Profiles in the NVIDIA X Server Settings that you can set up based on multiple triggers, process name being one of them.

I know about "Aplication Profiles" in the NVIDIA X Server Settings... It MUST be intuitive like the windows version of the driver's GUI, but it's not..
Considering the open and cooperative nature of Linux, by now there should be a huge list of game presets in the "Aplication Profiles" list..

Also, I don't understand why the GUI of the Nvidia linux drivers looks so different than the intuitive GUI windows version.

:huh:

Even the Nvidia Physx settings tab is not available on the Linux version...

In my opinion, that is not good if We want more incursions (or migrations) of Windows gamers.

Quoting: GuestWhat?

It should not be up to driver developers to optimize for each game.

Very true, I know that.
[But they did it for specific games in Windows/DX12 anyway](http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/382.05/382.05-win10-win8-win7-desktop-release-notes.pdf), so I was just having a rant.

Maybe this was designed thinking against sites like G2A...
With the new system, an steam user can not re-ale a game from his/her inventory on G2A.

Can you elaborate on the dropped games? At least all those I bought are still there.

As for new games: I'd like to see more on GOG, too. Doesn't help much if the developers only support steam

I am thinking of metro 2033/last light. Dying Light. Wargame european escalation, airland battle. Grid autosport. Penumbra...

For the more "recent" like red dragon, limbo, serious sam series. Saint row series ...

The Linux version of all the Deepsilver games are Steam exclusives because the porting process were paid by Valve in an attempt to promote SteamOS... That's is why they are not available on GOG.
Don't blame CDPR for this, blame Deepsilver.

About Penumbra, I purchased them DRMFREE in 2012 at the Frictional site, including versions for Linux, Win and Mac...
If You want to buy the Linux version, support Frictional and buy it there...
If the Linux version is not available on GOG, that was a Frictional Games decision.

Again.
GOG is not and never was about Linux, it is about DRMFREE.

If a Linux version of whatever Windows game is not on GOG, blame the publisher.

About Galaxy on Linux, We don't actually need it... Is a form of DRM under disguise.

The soul of GOG are the DRMFREE games and not the galaxy client...
I don't want another Steamlike client infecting the gaming world.

I use Flareget for to download big files from GOG on Linux...
for my Windows machine I use ye olde GOG downloader.

I will buy it as long as it doesn't have a Linux version of Denuvo.

Hmm... I can see there are two more benchmarks there...
I tried "Heaven" on windows two years ago, I didn't know there was a Linux version.

Q: Are you hoping it will one day rival Steam, or is it mainly for keeping direct purchases updated? The real question is: What are your plans for the future of the new Beamdog Client?

Alexei Pepers: The previous incarnation of the Beamdog Client was more similar to Steam, in that we did once use it to sell hundreds of games instead of just our own products. The new Beamdog Client is a conscious movement away from that, as we’ve decided that we’d rather focus on supporting and showcasing our own products instead of trying to maintain a huge library of games. Our plans for the future revolve around delivering people the best experience possible with our Client and supporting games with easy to access updates.

Q: What do people benefit from buying directly from Beamdog to use the Beamdog Client, over just buying the game on Steam?

Alexei Pepers: In addition to supporting us directly and helping us keep running, using the Beamdog Client over Steam gives an experience that’s more focused on our games and the community we’ve built around them. We have peripheral content like manuals and illustrated guides to the settings that are directly accessible through the Beamdog Client, as well as links to our active forum community. Our games through the Beamdog Client are also DRM-free, and we have plans to make it easy to access the betas for our games for people who are interested.

I think this is the same path that Feral must follow eventually:
Make your own client and slowly get out from Steam.
