SIGIL, the free Doom "Megawad" from Romero Games is out now
2 Jun 2019 at 7:29 am UTC

Well, my GZDoom g4.1.2 won't load SIGIL.wad, no matter which way I try.

Edit: Nevermind, was a config mistake on my side. Didn't have the file search path setup properly, so it couldn't find SIGIL.wad. Damn GZDoom could have given a hint ;)

Awesome news for an awesome project! I think I really need to step up my game-dev journey and move to Godot ( I am still doing my amateur game-dev in LibGDX :D ), since 3.1 this engine seems really promising.

Quoting: wleoncioIf I have a beefy setup, should I bother with GameMode? It helped heaps with my low-tier setup, but I don't know if I'd be introducing unnecessary tear to my new parts.
If you are doing any kind of Wine/Proton Gaming you should definitely try GameMode. It gives a lot of performance for most Blizzard Games for me (WoW, D3, SC), gives a good boost to Witcher 3, that were the games I was trying recently with GameMode.
Lutris has a handy switch for activating GameMode if you start a specific wine prefix, so it is also easy to use if you manage your wine games with Lutris.

Danger Zone is a lame game mode, and this makes it even more lame.
I stick with Defusal maps!

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus officially released for Linux, more content on the way

No cover mechanics you say? Well count me in, I always hate cover mechanics in such games, that's why I never could complete XCOM2 or the Shadowrun series, because combat is always to slow for my taste.
Seems like I have a new Wishlist top spot entry :D
