I started Into the Breach this weekend, oh my it is marvellous - no matter the fact that I am rather mediocre at it.....

On sale for 5 more minutes on Humble it seems

NVIDIA have released the 435.17 beta driver with Vulkan and OpenGL support for PRIME render offload

Quoting: Luke_NukemWell... I've been playing No Man's Sky v2.0 through Proton on the beta drivers. Nice, smooth, fast.

Laptop is an MSI GS65-Stealth RTX-2060. Also played a few games through Proton D9VK without issue too... I'm blown away...

Power use with power-management set up drops down to 7-10w for browsing etc. 7w just idling. 4-5w with screen off. Guesstimate 6-10 hours battery time depending on what I'm doing.

To get proper power-management I needed to do sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/control <<<auto
sorry to be a pain and thanks for your detailed descriptions so far.

is there a complete tutorial somewhere ? also am I reading this correctly in that it means logging out is not necessary ?

thanks (a bit lost today)

BATTLETECH for Linux updated, releases Flashpoint expansion – some thoughts

Quoting: JDo hope the paradox update their repo's some time soon.....

if you try install via paradox launcher then....
.... Repository battletech-linux-64-failed-upload does not exist\ ...
it now appears in the list, but refused to download the program - manually logging in and out of the paradox launcher fixed this for me, it is now downloading the files -- fingers crossed it will work!

after a long and arduous download Battletech v1.3 is downloaded but flashpoint not there yet, although it shows that I do own flashpoint on paradoxplaza - but think this is a paradox launcher issue

Yes GOG has it! Downloaded & installed!
However does not yet work on the paradox launcher (for those that care)

Anyone want to play, would be great to have some GoL Battletech multiplayer rounds!!!!

:D

You don't need to worry about Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, the Linux version is happening

Hi, should have read this first - thought the Steam icon meant it was fully read but alas....... anybody got it working with SteamPlay?

Mine will not start and complains it cannot get a thread....

BATTLETECH gets an opt-in Linux beta on Steam

Quoting: Jthey have just announced Linux release with Flashpoint expansion end November....

At least is coincides with a major expansion, which should help multiplayer....
The cynic in me notes that they said they "expect" the (GNU/Linux) version to release then. Which sounds to me very non-committal, so I wouldn't trust them to deliver it then really.
so very very true.... I still dont get it - I played the Beta in Jan and there were no problems....

what will probably happen is that GNU/Linux gets released but the expansion does not work for Linux.....
