I love DRM free games!. Got my dad to run Kubuntu 18.04

Wonder if it is possible to disable Direct3D multi-threaded command stream now with Wine 3.3, as there is one or two games that doesn't like it

Quoting: psycho_driverI do wish this was a wine wrapped port. You can install a glide wrapper and have a nicely accelerated 800x600 windows version of the game (I still have a working wine install of it).

The windows install files are in the game.gog file, and can be mounted and installed under wine, runs nicely at 800x600 without any tweaking.

I literally don't know what they are doing now. This "no way for us to provide DLC for DRM Free users" just makes zero sense.

It's because if someone in a multiplayer game owns the DLC then all connected players will be able to play as the new characters, which means all the coding and assets are installed on all copies of the game. The developers use an online check -- basically Steam -- to see whether or not a player has bought the DLC. I'm not sure there is an elegant way to allow such a feature in the DRM-free version that wouldn't be trivial to circumvent with a simple .ini edit.

THing is, steam won't stop piracy, especially with stuff like SSE (steam emu) and CreamAPI (a dlc unlocker). THe newest DLC is already on TPB so using it as an excuse is total BS. Steam DRM is extremely weak and so easy to get past.
