Looks great; though it's a bit of a missed opportunity that they didn't name this "Swingers of the Tongue", or "Tongue-Swingers", or somesuch.

Quoting: jarhead_hI finished that game feeling like Ubisoft should have paid me for playing it. It wasn't a game, it was a second job. And a tedious one at that.

Thanks for the update -- and I won't ask what you think about the AC3 'remaster'! (I saw bits of it on youtube, and wasn't impressed at all.)

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: jarhead_hI had Batman Arkham Asylum working until I updated to 4.2 and 418.56 and suddenly it doesn't work.

I'm glad they have the options for forcing different versions to be used. Doom II is whitelisted for 3.7-8 by Valve, but produces no sound (for me). If I use 4.2, it crashes immediately. But with 3.16-8 Beta, it runs and has sound.

For classic Doom, it's always better to use a native source port -- so you might want to consider that.

I use Chocolate Doom mostly; it's also available in the standard repos of most distros.

Quoting: jarhead_hSo far I'm starting to pile up No-DVD/No-Uplay cracks because a good number of my games run fine once you get rid of the second layer of DRM after Steam.

Have you come across a solution to whatever the problem is, which inhibits Assassin's Creed II & Brotherhood retrieving a 'product key' so they can install at all?

I wonder what the 'case conversion troubles in the Turkish locale' were. Probably has to do with the fact that lowercase 'i' in Turkish has its uppercase counterpart in 'İ' [capital I with a dot on top], while uppercase 'I' becomes 'ı' in lowercase [miniscule 'i' without the dot].

Quoting: mrdeathjrBut in some cases games dont run but uplay seems work correctly case: assasins creed brotherhood - liberation HD, flashback

I wonder what the problem with AC II and Brotherhood is -- I assumed that it was due to the uplay authentication bug, but though that seems to be fixed now, these two still don't properly install.

I like hopping on Venetian rooftops while listening to a podcast or an audiobook, and I haven't been able to do that for a long while now.

I wonder if they're planning to migrate NMS to Vulkan. It works so well on wine because it's an OpenGL title; it would work as well as a native title, if the game ran on Vulkan.

I took the risk of downloading AC Unity -- and uplay now works out of the box. The game ran almost perfectly at 'high' settings (picked up the ancient savegame from my windows playthrough just fine) until I tried -- after about 10 minutes -- to fast travel to a spot; at which point it crashed to the desktop.

There's nothing on Connect, though. :(

Quoting: massatt212u cannot load up tomb raider hitman and deus ex mankind and use dx12

I don't know about the other games (and not sure if it's been fixed on this one) but the dx12 mode on Mankind Divided was completely broken -- and to the extent that it functioned, it offered nothing new in terms of visuals or performance anyway. Which makes me wonder -- are there any dx12 titles that genuinely offer something above & beyond their dx11 versions?
