I felt the need to check the calendar. No, it's not April yet. :dizzy:

Quoting: subDoes anybody knows if Linux has a standardized FF API, or do games need to explicitly support the model?

The kernel has a standard FF implementation which can be used through evdev (it's pretty much a copy of the Windows api.). Very few drivers have it implemented and most are incomplete. As far as I know, the only non-Logitech FF implementation is the iforce joystick driver. But it is possible that it only applies to USB.

Quoting: FaalhaasThe VR experience of Distance is also fantastic. :woot: I would recommend using a controller instead of a steering wheel though.

I assume VR is also available in the native game. How have they implemented it for a 3rd person racer?

Seems things are not quite working for me with the "updates overlay" on the site. Nothing on there is clickable for. Neither the discuss button, nor the social media links do anything other than closing the overlay.

Quoting: rkfgBut is it going to be released for Linux at the day one?

Twitter may have been vague, but the Itch and Steam pages list all platforms.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyA bit moot currently since I believe Mac has at least 5 times our gaming market share at the moment, so the market is larger porting to Mac anyway.

True. On the other hand, any dev that wants to can create a small partition on their dev machine and try a Linux build for free. Getting an actual Mac to test things on is not exactly cheap. Which, I assume, is why you frequently see games with a Linux port that don't have Mac ports.

Quoting: WorMzyBoo. Didn't realise it would require gtk3. :sick:

Shouldn't the snap include its dependencies?

Anyway. What is there seems to work perfectly fine. Not much to test of course, but I wanted to at least see how it responded to ultrawide. Which seems to be good apart from a minor nitpick.

Well, this is something I'd like to test for sure. Thanks! That'll give me something to do tonight.

I haven't played many games with Proton. One interesting one was Bioshock Remastered. This one is interesting because the reviews are littered with people complaining about crashes and whatever issues the game has. However, I played it all the way through without crashes or any other issues whatsoever. Seems that proton does better here than Win10. It is also pretty much a must for VR because the number of native releases is rather small. However, there I have encountered a few failures.

Nice! Still a long way away though. Even though the Linux port for this should be easier than the first one, I hope they leave it in for all that time. If they do, I'm there!
