Sigh, I guess I'll have a tough time ahead of me, since I do need X11 for my Steam Controller mouse support.

Quoting: dubigrasuThough apparently they broken the "normal" beta client. It did on my system and I've see a couple of reports on Reddit and GitHub.

Did you have env set in launch option?

Try env -- <ENV> %command%

OK yes, that fixed it, many thanks.

Yeah, I saw your comments on the related Github issue, I'll try as soon as possible.

And we'll be kicking off the next generation of Epic with huge launch plans towards the end of the year.

So, Linux support?

Given my increasingly failing eyes, old GPU, size and distance (80cm/2m) from my 2K monitor, I am satisfied to play everything at 1280x720 (boooooo). It scales perfectly, and with a bit of old FSR1 I'm quite OK with it.

Thank you for the article.

Can you play Quake: The Offering for Linux with GeForce2 MX 400?

Quoting: dubigrasuThat Nvidia white splash brings back sweet memories, the first "serious" card that I used for gaming on Linux was a Geforce4 MX, and it was the card I used to play Doom 3 with.

You reminded me of how painful it was to play Quake 4 on Linux with this graphics card back in 2005. I remember that Doom 3 didn't have a better performance, but it was a long time ago. I started to enjoy playing both games when I had a more modern computer with an Intel 2 Core Duo.

Well, at the ridiculous (as we see it now) resolution of 640x480 it wasn't that bad. Probably the framerate wasn't also that great, but something like 30 fps was so sweet for a PS1 player like me, accustomed with 24 fps or less, add some overclocking, some graphical tweaking, the TV placed 2 meters away (less sensitive to low fov and fps)...it was great! 😄

From what I understand Quake 4 was more graphically intensive than Doom 3, but I did played it with the same card (...I think?), both awesome games. Apparently these Linux versions had some features disabled, which would explain them running better on Linux, but my eyeballmeter couldn't see a difference back then. It still was a blast.

Surprisingly it ran the game better than Windows and I even had surround sound thanks to nforce drivers. Granted, all that at 640x480 resolution, since I didn't had a monitor at the time and I used my TV, which was quite fine for me coming directly from PS1 games.

The AMD side on Linux was quite iffy at the time, even though the cards were superior in Windows, the best one was (I think) Radeon 9000...something and I borrowed one from a friend, only to get something like half of performance with serious graphical bugs, when it worked. Which was somewhat a relief considering they were crazy, crazy expensive, while the geforce was quite affordable.

Anyway, I remember fondly the times when I came back from work, start my Linux computer (he he) see the welcoming Nvidia splash, then the blue glow on my amp confirming I have surround sound and getting immersed in one awesome game. Ah...

AI use: "Brainstorming = 81%"
That seems weird, basically asking AI what people would like? (if I understand that correctly)

The project history from their web-page is worth a read, to summarize, it started around 2013 and it was a total cluster...ef. Switching engines few times, stopping the project, re/starting the project, leaders coming and going, etc.
After reading all that I feel that is amazing that it reached this point with an actual release, even if early access.
Hoping for the current momentum to continue.
