I've been playing Hellpoint again, along with Bioshock Remastered - which I've started playing with a controller and it's surprisingly responsive.

I followed the comments here [External Link], to improve BR's performance.

New to the collection in Control, which I've heard good things about and am about to fire up.

Wow, I used to have a Matrox Millennium card (I forget which one) back in the day! Good to hear they're still going.

Looks good, and the battles sound great! It's on my Steam wishlist :-)

I don't know if it's still there but when I visited Gothenberg in 2006, the Ibis hotel was actually a permanently-moored ship. Quite cool!

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!
