Quoting: iiari

Quoting: scaineIs Epic running the same gig? Or can you download a DRM-free version of their titles for play without the need for the Epic launcher? Knowing Epic, I'd expect both a forced launcher AND draconian, bullshit DRM on everything.

Outstanding point... Good question about Epic, and I agree with you that given their history, draconian is what we could probably expect on DRM...

I only checked the free Subnautica, so I don't exactly have a big sampling size. But the Launcher is the only way to download the game. After it is downloaded, it is installed in a separate directory, it didn't launch from there directly. I checked the launch command when it was started from the launcher and that shows that it passes on the user and authentication hash to the game as command line options.

Quoting: TheRiddickDo you think the problem will be resolved in Xserver? how does gsync work under wayland? better?

That's the trillion dollar question. Will Free/G-Sync work better in Wayland in theory? Will it even work at all? It currently doesn't work though.

Quoting: TheRiddickPS. I hope NVIDIA pull their finger out and fix this dual/multi monitor issue with gsync, its really kind of lame because non of these issues exist for windows users!

As I mentioned above, they can't. It's an X issue, not an Nvidia issue.

According to Linux YouTuber star Xpander69, who I spoke to and has tested it out, the new G-SYNC Compatible feature will only work with one monitor enabled and the game will have to be in fullscreen. Shame, as that would make it pretty useless for me personally with two monitors I use heavily.

Yeah, that's the case for normal G-SYNC as well. It's an X limitation though. Makes you wonder if Wayland is any better for this. I wonder if Wayland can handle variable refresh rate at all at this time.

Salt and Sanctuary vibe (and therefore Dark Souls vibe) is definitely there. Wishlisted.

I do have to say, it does look rather nice and shiny!

But on casual inspection, it doesn't look out of place. Which is a real risk when doing these things in older games.

So many hours of gaming to go until I'm ready for this one. :D

Quoting: rat2000I can only hope that as a community(of steam users not linux users) we can restrain ourself from buying the game on epic but we all know we will fail miserable on this...

I have no intention of buying a Windows game at or close to full price. Ever. And with the complete disaster that is the Epic Launcher in Wine, it's wouldn't be a fun ride.

Quoting: BeamboomTotally unrelated but:
Seeing screenshots like that, and then looking over at screenshots of our indie games... And... Yeah, well...

You can always distinguish a AAA game screenshot from an indie one by the fact that you can never find that AAA game screenshot in the actual game.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs almost 50% more of the Feral port performance... They should update their port to vulkan.

But these are the less interesting areas. In TR2013 the fps took a dive in the big open areas like Shanty Town. That's where it could really make a difference.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, is it bad that I didn't even know this game was out because I hadn't seen the 'out for Linux'. So here's my question... will this somehow replace Elite: Dangerous for me so I can fly in space in VR under Linux?

Yes! Because that means you haven't paid enough attention to GoL. :D
