The inaccuracies and bugs are things like freezing ai, disappearing geometry, crashes, floating decals, hitching, physics and sector movement bugs, and a whole host of other issues.

I would even say better than this port on some things people are noticing.
Out of interest, does NBlood support movies playback and other such stuff some ppl consider non-essential? Can it eg play CD-music off an original CD (or via some other means)? In other words is it a full-blooded port?))
And since we're here, what exactly is done better in NBlood according to some?
I don't believe movie playback is supported (you could hack them in in various ways but I'm not going to get into it). For the CD tracks you can rip them to FLAC or OGG at the very least.

Fresh Supply has a TON of inaccuracies and bugs.

Looks like Easy Anti-Cheat strikes again with Steam Play, Paladins is no longer playable on Linux

Quoting: Guestvalve needs to fix this problem.make the games think it is running in windows or something because alot of games are broken because of this drm crap.i have to use windows due to games not working.when it gets fixed ill ditch it for good.
Valve does have a whitelist of games for SteamPlay. It is quite tiny compared to the actual games that do work with Proton.

I do not think Paladins was ever on that list.
Too bad Valve hasn't publicly released the whitelist. It would make it easy to point people to games that should work.
It's a bit odd, but you can look here for it though:

Dota 2 (non-beta) was released in 2013.

Currently Camp Santo is working on In the Valley of the Gods for release next year (they are owned by Valve).

I wonder what the heck people are doing. Once things can compile for a target platform that should always be the case. Once support is solid there should be no difference from then on unless there are external factors like Unity breaking something.

That should be fixed soon. It borks building on Linux in a variety of situations.

All updates to the codebase go here first. Ion Maiden isn't really a fork. I compile my own binaries from svn locally when new experimental patches get submitted.

Quoting: Mblackwellto prevent the entire game from having all of its art casually stolen before the full game releases.
My intention was just to get it running on EDuke32, but Mblackwell just peaked my interest for hacking art. ;)
Tools for reading .art files have existed for years, but if you wanted to make Linux versions of old Windows apps like DukeRes that would be fantastic actually. :D
