This last week I have been playing nothing, due to family holiday! Now that I'm back home I'm hoping to snatch some more time with Hellpoint :-)

Quoting: RafiLinuxPicked up the GOG version. The offline installer is behind and not working properly. Someone already posted about it on the GOG forums. If it's not patched by Friday, I'm afraid I will have to ask for refund. Demo was fun but day 1 launch issues is something I'm just not OK with.

The Steam version has been updated several times since release and the devs seem fairly responsive in the Steam forums, though the Dark Souls kidz whining about how Hellpoint isn't Dark Souls do lower the quality of discussion. Might be worth replacing your GOG version with the Steam version. You can even make it DRM-free by dropping the Goldberg emulator in there!

Quoting: slaapliedjeI got a bunch of glitches from light sources on it, seemed to be better when I maxed out some things and changed AA, but not sure exactly which setting it was yet, figured I'd try in Arch with latest drivers... and then I got sidetracked purchasing a ThinkVision P44w-10....

I have turned off Bloom and the light source problem seems to be fixed for now.

Quoting: crabelWhy not just sudo apt-get install beneath-a-steel-sky ?

Not everyone uses *buntu :-)

The respective package is also, at least, available for Arch and Fedora.

My comment was meant to be taken with a pinch of salt (hence the smiley)! I was simply making an gentle observation that not everyone uses flavours of Ubuntu/Debian and that other distros have different ways of doing things with different commands (e.g. zypper and yum).

My distro even comes with a link between apt-get and zypper for those who forget!

Total Annihilation is my all-time favourite RTS, too! Glad to see that Gilbert is coming over to the Linux way of thinking.

Quoting: fleskI'm also having the crash on launch with Nvidia graphics that is mentioned in the article, and I have no idea how to enable Vsync. :huh: The game works well with Intel graphics though, although only on low graphics settings, which doesn't look all that great. Still enjoying the game a lot so far though, and I've just gotten into the city.

It's should be a clearly labelled option in the main menu.

But when it crashes on launch, how do you even get to the menu to enable it?

Go to ~/.config/Epic/BASS2/Saved/Config/LinuxNoEditor/GameUserSettings.ini and add the value bUseVSync=True under [/Script/RevUtil.RevUtilGameUserSettings]

This is the first game I have pre-ordered since Repton 3 :-) Having completed - and really enjoyed - the demo, I can't wait for the full experience!

Currently playing The Bard's Tale IV. A really-good Skyrim-like RPG with many puzzles and good battles!
