A quick run over some details from the recent ProtonDB data

Am I the only one that still uses the official issue tracker [External Link]to report things? It's very well maintained, they (Valve employees) reply in minutes, and sometimes you can talk with Codeweavers developers.

That said, there are 1576 open issues, 647 closed.

The open issues that are whitelist requests are 445 (that means games that work without problems, with a Platinum or Gold rating), while 913 issues are "Game Compatibility - unofficial" (that means that the game can work with workaround or not at all, it depends).

So we have already nearly 500 games that are click'n'play, that's great! :D

In my experience (I opened several issues) Philip Rebhole replied in minutes on github issue tracker, so... no, this is a little bit of a useless drama from Codeweavers developers. Oh come on, you are on the same boat! :|

Tower of Time, the rather good RPG had a big update to improve performance
26 Nov 2018 at 10:47 am UTC

This game disappointed me. I surely wasn't good at playing it, but I felt the combat disappointing and unbalanced all the time. Changed tactics, trained my heroes, changed armors and weapons, but after some hours I completely lost interest because it wasn't fun, I never felt that feeling of accomplishment (hope is the right word, sorry for my english) to keep me going on. I played right to half of the fourth level of the tower (so not less than 20 hours).

Grab another glass, Wine 3.21 is now out with the usual assorted improvements and fixes

I'm very curious: anyone here has experienced running WINE on Android and ARM processor? Yes, I'm thinking about running games on my smartphone.

The Steam Autumn Sale is live, with some epic deals going
24 Nov 2018 at 8:54 am UTC

Big question: the Steam Controller is on sale too, I never used a gamepad in my life and a lot of games I own needs one, should I buy it or the Logitech F310? I want a plug'n'play experience with Steam, Proton and/or Wine, and Gog.

Thanks in advance for the advices! ;)
