Quoting: drjomsGotta say, this game is AWFUL so far.
Downloaded, compiled.
No basic way to enable any graphics.
Without it looks like ass. I am sorry, it's 2022. I loved Dungeons of dredmore, look it up. Great rogulike.
Git page has good chunks of links not working.
Stay away if you value your sanity.
Late reply, but there is a launcher that gets you either the latest stable or experimental build, install sound packs, mods and other stuff.

Been wanting to use this launcher, but I always get stuck after putting my SID.

I would like a copy. Played S.T.A.L.K.E.R a couple of years ago, and METRO looks like it will sort of scratch that apocalyptic Russian game.

That game looks fun. Been hungering for some megaman battle network style grid battle game since I played 2 on gba, so consider me interested.

Any way to show only the RAM the game is using instead of overall?

Anyone know if the library is electron based now?

Anyway, I'm finding it to be sluggish loading stuff and resource hungry.

If you need help managing NVIDIA Optimus check out this little tool

Will now prompt users to log out when switching GPUs.
I don't have a laptop, but wasn't the new nvidia prime render suppose to eliminate that? Do you still have to log out to change from light work to gaming/video editing/etc and vice versa?

Just when you think you can stop drinking, Wine 4.0 has another release candidate available

Quoting: F.UltraI see, of course the more curious question is how anybody can play Binding of Isaac with a controller :). I've found anything else than keyboard completely horrendous in that game, but each to their own I guess. Sorry to hear that you have not gotten any reply from them, that really sucks.
For me, keyboard was horrendous, plus I like to lean back. :p

Yeah, typical linux users are an afterthought...

Quoting: UsualManaged to get an error trying out isaac rebirth on wine-staging. Do they accept wine-staging bug reports or just regular wine?
just curios on why you tried that game on wine when we have it natively?
I kept getting issues with my gamepads(ps3 controller, wireless 360 controller and logitech F310), so I wanted to see if they worked on the windows version. They did, but if you use the keyboard it doesn't work anymore.

Tried to contact Nicalis about the Linux version problem, but all I got was crickets...

Unrelated, but Super Meat Boy linux version also doesn't let you download the soundtrack. Would be happy if more users contacted Team Meat about it to see if they do something too.
