Samsai did it on stream. It's a matter of try, try, try and if you die, try again.

Crazy Justice! :D

Yeah, funny. Practically I think this weekend will turn out to be Two Point Hospital and Graveyard Keeper.

a 1000-player last-man-standing game mode
Jesus
If they pull that off , that's amazing
But will it add anything? The difference between a 10 person game and a 100 person game is that it adds a "loot" stage to the game while still having to watch your back. This required a bigger map and more players to pull off. But what will they do with a thousand players? You could make the map bigger, which would make games longer than they need to be. Making it busier would make things very chaotic from the start. They could also change the game concept entirely and make something that doesn't resemble the current BR games. Obviously, the latter would be the most interesting.

The Wine thing is still not particularly useful as it is. I now had to switch to "in the last month" because I tried both Fortnite and two games in SteamPlay Proton. But on a whole my Wine usage is still best described as "incidental" and hasn't really changed. Wouldn't it be better to have something that shows how often you have used it in recent history? Maybe "Have you used Wine or Steam Play/Proton to play Windows games much in the past six months?", with options such as: never, sometimes, regularly, daily.

Also note that if you install a game into a secondary library, that it will install both Proton and the compatdata into that secondary library as well.

Got the game. I'll run through HRM first though and then hope the new one is a little more complicated.

Quoting: legluondunetTekken 7 is on the Steamplay whitelist and it doesn't launch with Proton...Valve should verify his Whitelist before to publish it.

I suppose this is going to be a pretty big problem for the Proton future. Wine has always been pretty sensitive to details, so even though stuff works on one machine gives no guarantee for the rest.

Even updating Wine may break stuff that was whitelisted earlier. This may prove to be quite a bit of work.

Despite promising an Early Access release, Crazy Justice is out only for backers for now and it's rougher than expected

Quoting: BeamboomTo be honest, and this is of course very easy to say now in retrospect, but just by hearing the audio effects and background music in that gameplay video clip earlier this week, this really doesn't come as much of a surprise to me. It had to be some stock assets from the Unity editor being used, and more than indicated that they had a lot of work left. Like, a lot.
It's weird because the BR mode was a late addition to the game. Half of the issues should have been worked out for the original game. Especially the sound, since that is such an important part of shooters.

The really should have pulled in the backers for testing way back with the E3 build. I don't see them releasing anything free to the public in a short time now.
