I wonder if it's possible to do the same on Quake I.

I've always wanted to play first-person nibbles.

-- not going to lie; I did set up an account in order to pick up Axiom Verge when that was a giveaway. Poverty be damned, I guess. Still to install it though; may as well try it now.

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.
