Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: GroganSystem wine should work, and you really shouldn't even need to have DXVK and VKD3d installed, because Lutris supplies them and will create symlinks when the wine prefix is generated or updated, according to what is in the fields in Runner Options (you have to have Advanced view enabled to see that stuff though)

That's what I do for my Wine prefixes too. Just make symlinks for dxvk and vkd3d-proton once (which are stored in a separate location), which I then build periodically to get newest features.

It works now. Thanks.
I was using dxvk instead of vkd3d.

Quoting: ShmerlJust to confirm - updated to 1.6 (GOG version) and the game works fine so far.

The gog version fails to start for me in lutris.
Are there any special settings required?

Quoting: Nic264I still believe people should be free to do whatever they want with the software they run

...

And shady stuff like Blockverse should be regulated by law, not by software EULAs.

There are a lot of conflicting ideas here. Doing whatever you want with the software you run is, most of the time, illegal. In the case of Minecraft it definitely is. And you can never do everything one might want because there are always restrictions. Either from the EULA or general laws and regulations.

In the digital world the rule of law starts with the EULA which is enforced by copyright laws. Most of the time you either run open source software, which also has restrictions on what can be done, or copyrighted programs which you cannot even own because they are often sold on a subscription model that relies on services which you cannot control.

The only thing you can do is stop using something if you don't like it. That and writing your own new version with your own EULA that will force your view of how things should be done onto others so they can then complain in turn. :)

Quoting: dorron...and that's why i don't buy anything from GOG.

They do have Linux builds and they work well. The no drm policy makes a client irrelevant outside convenience features like auto updates.
Steam is also great and they've done a lot more for gaming on linux than gog but gog is the only drm free store out there. Steam also has drm free titles but they do not label them. Both have contributed a lot in their own way.

It would have been nice to see some benchmarks and some info on the general build quality. USB port placement, pictures from various angles including outdoor screen visibility and the case materials.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThat's not how hacking works?!

"hacking" has multiple meanings depending on the context.

1. cut with rough or heavy blows.
"hack off the branches and let them fall to the ground"
synonyms: cut, chop, hew, lop, saw, slash
2. gain unauthorized access to data in a system or computer.

I'm sorry but that's not a durability test. Never in day to day use would you put a cutter to it and start hacking away. That video is part of a niche segment on youtube that revolves around destroying popular objects/devices. The cringe element is intended and it drives views. Nobody watches that for the "durability" aspect.

Cloud gaming makes as much sense as working full time in the metaverse with a headset on your face all day. It doesn't. Never has.

If you can afford a fast and stable internet connection then you can afford a console or medium end PC.

The funny thing is that, after updating the game on steam (a 650 MB download), the game still shows version 1.12.0 when launched.
The patch seems to be there since some issues I've known about are now fixed. For example, you no longer see a redundant unit type circle toggle when recruiting wight kings for vampire counts. This is listed in the patch notes.
It seems they forgot to update the version number on Linux.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Great news but it seems from the graphs that they're biased towards Linux themselves. The numbers float around 5 and 6% yet the bars do not reflect that. I remember back when nvidia pulled this trick to showcase some performance boost people got really angry.
