Makes me think of Arx Fatalis more than Ultima: Underworld. Looks good!

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: Beamboom

Quoting: Leopard

it specifically mentions not to use the open source Nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs

That shows they actually tested it , rather than setting up a VM.

... How so? A VM can run Noveau too...

In a VM you don't need to deal with drivers. Just set up VM and boot the game in VM to see if at least game boots.

Many devs does that.

So that shows they also got curious how it performs as well and learned Nouveau is bad for performance.

These days it is possible to pass through a GPU which the VM can use natively.

It annoys me so much that the Steam Runtime was the necessary solution to a problem that shouldn't exist.

Quoting: Nevertheless

Quoting: Luke_NukemGeez, the gameplay plus the music made me feel like I just fell in to a '90s time travel.

Oh yes! It's quite consequently retro. It even plays a disc drive sound at the beginning.

Floppy Doom! [External Link]

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: elmapul" They also removed any Mac support for it.""
wait, what?
did mac even had support?

Some elements for it yes: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/commit/a84120449d8177fa40f3de729e55d238d3c24877 [External Link]

Part of a larger series of changes [External Link] that will be making it in to Proton at some point. The commit that states removal of macOS is from that PR I think.

Quite likely to be temporary. There is a Codeweavers employee looking at making macOS wine64 builds run 32 bit apps I think (which would probably make it in to Linux builds too), which is going to be a critical thing for them to be able to continue offering their product on future macOS versions that remove 32bit support completely.

Quoting: GuestLinux is going to conquer the whole world. It is a matter of when, not if. So Microsoft is making the right moves... I expect them to turn Windows into a Linux distro + proprietary libraries/API/DE at some point. It will be cheaper for them to maintain, will be able to enter most markets Windows can't enter/dominate now, like mobiles/servers, and will still allow them to be top dog, assuming they create a good and polished Linux based desktop OS and make linux-compatible versions of their stuff like Office...

People may laugh at this idea now, but it is an inevitability. Trust me. It may not happen in 5 or even 10 years, but it will eventually... The traditional "pay for a Windows licence" model is dead.

It's certainly crazy but it is an idea I've been wondering about for a while now. Turn Windows in to a Linux distro that doesn't run Linux...

GNU/Windows!!!
