Quoting: marcusYes. I just bought it and there is a Keybindings menu in the settings.
Yeah, I found it in the web version as well, so bought it after I noticed it.

An update on Easy Anti-Cheat support for Wine and Proton

Quoting: g000hI get quite irritated by the fact that the likes of Garry Newman and Tim Sweeney and other game developers suggest that the approx 1% Linux gaming market-share would in any way influence the amount of cheaters on their games.
Cheaters make and use tools to do so. If Linux would provide an angle to defeat EAC, it would become a tool for the cheaters.

Time-travel action-RPG 'Last Epoch' has a huge update out

It gave me almost double the performance and graphically caused no issues.
My experience with multiple Unity games is that it Vulkan can cause severe input lag when vsync is enabled (or gsync is active). Which has made it unusable in a few games where I tried.

As for this game, still waiting for the 3rd party account requirement to be removed.

It's a pretty great bundle of games. With one slight problem. If you've been buying games for a while, you likely own most of it already.

Is it possible to rebind keys in the full version?

You missed this one on the crowdfunding page. I missed this one entirely. Never saw it before. Curious mix of indie and AAA graphical elements. The trailer is not giving me any insight into the gameplay though.

Quoting: mao_dze_dun
Quoting: elmapul*personal reasons*
" including Meltdown, Spectre, ZombieLoad "
yeah, we know who did shit back then, lol.

just kidding but we never know...
An internal memo was leaked which shows that he apparently did quit over personal reasons. Sometimes there is nothing to it. Hope everything with him and his family is ok and he just wants to spend more time with them. Pretty sure he should have enough money to retire should he wish it (though he's probably just taking a break).
Besides, it's silly to think that in something as complex as a modern CPU, you could identify a single person to have a major stake in anything related to it.

Supraland is leaving GOG after less than a year, dev says sales were low

Quoting: zilotI have played the game and finished it. It was an amazing game so I heavily recommend it. If as I could read he only "compiled a linux version with unreal engine", I got to say that it doesn't suffer from any bugs. Slow for some people ? Maybe, I can't tell.
So did I, 100%ed it without a single issue. Yes, performance is not that great, but it really isn't that great on Windows either. It's just that the basic double fps on dx11 makes it generally more playable.

However, at some point the dev must have changed something because it currently doesn't run at all. I suspect this is not a "Linux" issue, but a real bug that just happens to trigger (more?) on Linux. Solving this would be what multiplatform development is good for, finding problems with you code by running it through multiple systems. But it appears that just dropping it is easier for now. Until it fully breaks of course.

Anybody here that use KDE, has an NVidia gpu and uses gsync? Does it work properly?

Wow. The improvement in graphics and animation is pretty darn amazing. Where the original was kind of basic, this looks absolutely gorgeous. Gameplay looks smoother as well. If the rest of the game is as good as the looks, it'll be a winner.
