Quoting: hummer010Grim Dawn is finally fixed!! I'm glad to see that - time to re-install!
It works well, but with Proton 4.2 I've started to get the flickering that a few other people have reported. No issues when using the /d3d9 switch, but in that case I don't think it should be rated "Platinum". Very shiny Gold maybe.

EPIC store does not support Linux.
The other day on Twitter someone asked them about Proton on the Epic store, they said they couldn't because of the tech they used. But then went on to say they were hiring Linux people... I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they will be working on a client but its something.

I had some issues getting the demo going (as they mentioned on their download page). I vaguely recall other Visionaire games being a bit iffy on Linux too.

I'd be interested to try when all the kinks are worked out.

Reminds me a bit of Overlord, which isn't a bad thing. Was fun to be the bad guy.

Quoting: Purple Library Guywho know enough to know there are other, enemy, "teams" out there.
Hats off to you Purple Library Guy, that whole post is bang on. Although Linux users have been known to be just as tribal. Same as Win vs Mac vs Linux...iPhone vs Android... PS4 vs Xbox. Its all pretty stupid when you think about it. Just like what you want to like.

Reminds me a little of this clip [External Link] (NSFW language)

Intel begins talking up their open source efforts for their upcoming dedicated GPU

I've had the same video card for a while now. There just doesn't seem to be a need to upgrade! I think it's mainly due to consoles, but maybe Vulkan will give it an extra little bit of life too.

Weird. I've got a Nvidia GPU but have never seen that screen corruption issue before. Nice to see it fixed though.

Quoting: PatolaI can't see a good reason why anyone with a reasonable budget wouldn't make it 3D nowadays
It would ruin this game like it ruined QFG 5.

I like my women hot, my beer cold, and my adventure games in 2D!

Quoting: razing32Don't AGS games run like crap on linux ? Or am I wrong ?
I run them with Wine/Proton instead of a native AGS, and they seem to work fine.
