2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a 'licence') to use GOG services and to download and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This licence is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this licence in some situations, which are explained later on.
3.1 To buy GOG content from GOG services, and in some cases to play/use GOG content where our partners require use of a GOG account, you will need to set up a GOG account. This will involve creating a password (which is encrypted so we can’t access it) and a username, plus giving us (for identification purposes) your email address. Please make sure your login credentials are kept secure and your account is used properly. In your GOG Account settings you can also optionally set your country of residence, birthday and avatar. Our Privacy Policy gives more detail about the information we collect from you and how we use it and protect it. It's at Privacy Policy.
3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else. Your access to and use of them is subject to GOG’s rules which are set out here, as updated or amended when necessary.
11. RULES FOR USING GOG SERVICES

11.1 Please follow these rules regarding the GOG services and GOG content. Please read these rules carefully since failure to follow them (particularly those in relation to cheating) will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, which could lead to suspension or cancellation of your access to GOG Services. Here are the rules:
17.2. Our right to terminate the Agreement. If you materially breach this Agreement, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your access to GOG services and GOG content. By material breach of the Agreement we mean a serious breach which could cause significant harm to GOG, GOG users, as well as, in particular breach of the provisions of section 11 above. If we suspend or cancel your access to GOG services or GOG conent we'll take reasonable steps to contact you to explain why we've done this and what (if anything) you can do as a result.
22.1 We may change this Agreement if it's necessary e.g. for legal reasons or to reflect changes in GOG services or GOG content. If so, we will make the changed Agreement available online at here and (if you have a GOG account) email you to let you know about the changes
22.3 If you don't agree to those changes (regardless of whether you email us), then unfortunately we must ask you to cease using GOG services and GOG content. We're sorry we have to say that, but we hope you'll appreciate that for GOG.com to work properly we need to have everyone using it under the same rules instead of different people having different rules. That's why we encourage you to get in contact if you have queries or concerns.
GOG tries to hide it with casual language, but by this very strict definition of DRM you have invented the website and service itself are also DRM.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is now officially available on Linux, here’s a look at it with benchmarks
20 Apr 2018 at 7:15 am UTC

Seems to not run in BPM for me, perhaps a side effect of not using the latest Nvidia beta driver, dunno. Anyway other than that the game runs pretty flawless at Very High on my GTX 970.

Rise of the Tomb Raider for Linux to release tomorrow, April 19th

I am hopeful the game is functional on 16.04 and the 17.10 requirement is mostly just for the sake of Mesa. Because, my machine is currently a production box and I can't afford to upgrade at the moment (and when I do of course it will be to 18.04... which btw I hope to god there's a way to get a vanilla gnome session instead of Ubuntu's extensions and such. If I wanted a Unity style interface I never would have switched to Ubuntu GNOME in the first place... but now I'm off track).

Quoting: HamishI am not seeing the update on the 3D Realms store either.
Sorry, we've sent packages but it takes time for GOG to update (the publisher has to send files and GOG packs it themselves) and 3DR is in a different time zone. Hopefully they appear quickly and I apologize for the wait.

Is there a way to set resolution to something like 5:4? Options doesn't let doing it.
Yes although I can't speak for what might happen if your monitor doesn't support it. You can technically force any resolution you want by using the console (SHIFT+Key_Above_Tab) and entering vidmode x y.

Thanks for checking it out! Also we are still working on even more performance improvements, but I am glad it was good out of the box for you.

Ah, that info comes from last year actually. Was part of a conversation on Duke4's Discord server. Btw, the dev team for Ion Maiden all hangs out both there and the official 3DR Discord so feel free to post there as well.

Still not sure what's going on there. I'll have to poke them again on Monday.

When you buy from the 3D Realms store (not Steam) that's the current DRM Free version (3DR told me they updated the package you can download, but let me know if that is not the case for some reason or it is configured incorrectly).
