Quoting: m2mg2Got a link to the details on that? It is fixed in a specific wine version or is it fixed outside wine?

Didn't last long: Back 4 Blood no longer working on Linux with Proton

Quoting: m2mg2It appears the fix that made Roblox work in Linux also stopped working on the 12th. My son got a whole month of Roblox on Linux before it broke again.
It's already been fixed and a new Roblox-patched wine version can be sourced from the Grapejuice Discord channels.

I have a Hungarian friend who truly believes this! Lovely lady but a true conspiracy nut :-)

Quoting: deathxxxEnough of Warhammer ports! Is there no other games left?

There's actually quite a mix in there.
I count eight Total War games, so almost a third of the games in that list are TW! Four in the list carry the name Warhammer; you can see how some might think that all Feral port are TW and Warhammer games. Shame Feral couldn't have signed up for some more varied franchises as I might have spent more with them.

Looks like Splitgate will be the next 'big thing' FPS supported on Linux

The only major issue that I've had is that the game is gaining popularity which means sometimes I cannot log in to the server due to overload!

Really fun when it gets going though. I seem to be mostly matched with Poles and Germans judging by the choices of username and they all seem to be very much more nimble-fingered than middle-aged me :-)

EDIT: speeling.

Survival platformer Residual gets a new demo on Steam

I'm keeping an eye on this one as I have a soft spot for Apogee and I also like platformers. Secret Agent HD was a great surprise :-)

Quoting: Appelsin
Currently it's limited to United States, Canada, European Union, and the United Kingdom with more regions becoming available in 2022.
Nothing for Norway then (or Switzerland, or Iceland or Luxemburg)? Or is this just a ploy to make us join the EU?
We in the UK left the EU and can order it, so they're sending mixed messages ;-)

I was thinking of switching to Wayland on my Tumbleweed KDE system system until I found this page [External Link]. Yikes :-)

GOG are giving away the Shadowrun Trilogy for 72 hours

I got really excited about these freebies until I realised I already owned them. Whoops ;-) More for my unplayed or barely-played list of shame...

Challenging sci-fi action RPG Hellpoint is now available

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, how is it not Dark Souls? The only thing I've even noticed different in the gameplay is sometimes the 'souls' that drop are dropped as little cubes, which you keep if you die. Other than that, the gameplay and even the level design seems very similar.
Well, looking at the promotional illustrations on Steam I sometimes just want to shout "Shakara!" ;-)
