X4 would be a nice addition to that list as well.
Can anyone get Tannenberg running? It still hangs at the title screen for me...

Quoting: Whitewolfe80And now with DX11, so DXVK would apply at this point if the Battleye were to work.Quoting: iiariIf this is accomplished, it will also likely allow Planetside 2 to work, which would be very exciting...Oh damn is that still around i thought the servers died for that a while back cool to see its still online had a bunch a fun with that game few years back.

Quoting: amataiUsual message about how minetest is cool to put under any post about Minecraft ^_^My kids like all of the extras that Minecraft has, like animals, rails/cars, house decorations, etc. How does Minetest do with those kinds of things?
Nah, seriously, if you have'nt tried Minetest, it has become very cool (I will probably stop putting message under every message about Minecraft on the issue, that can soon become annoying)

BTW, I second the mods making this interesting. Some of the mod maps are very good...

BTW: Now thanks to Proton, I just started to spend some time with some of the Battlefield games for the first time, and I must admit that they're terrific. However, sometimes you just don't want to deal with MP dynamics and getting mowed down every 8 seconds by ace players with 800+ hrs in a game, and Ravenfield is perfect for when you want that Battlefield feel but by yourself in SP... BTW, another game that's great for that feel in a Sci Fi universe is Angels Fall First via Proton. While there's MP as well, the bots are amongst the best I've seen and play the game better and more strategically than many human players, making SP play just as satisfying...

If you found it a little easy beforeNot at all! In fact, I found the AI *too good* before, with NPC's taking me out from a distance halfway across the map with handguns and such. While I welcome that they're smarter, hopefully the NPC's aren't still OP'ed either...

Easy Anti-Cheat is actually still supported for Linux, a statement from Epic Games

Quoting: mao_dze_dunOh, for fuck sake, what do you people want? A written statement signed in Tim Sweeney's blood? They're not stopping anything and just being honest about prioritizing Windows over Linux because duh. Being critical of Epic is one thing, but being ridiculous tin foil wearer is just absurd.Yeah, I'm actually surprised Liam got even this much from them. The fact they bothered to address it at all (rather than one big shoulder shrug and a "who cares?") I find the most encouraging aspect of all...
Good for you for owning up the mistake Liam. Also thank you for the new info on the matter.
Bearded Giant Games have announced the 3D dogfighting game Space Mercs

Regarding the "jet fighter" look of the ships, I was channeling some C64-era Skyfox nostalgia for that...

Quoting: CybolicThis looks quite interesting, but I doubt I'll get it if it isn't released on itch.io or Steam.Just install their launcher to your Steam Client. Problem solved. This degree of Linux support in my mind deserves our support. How many titles do you see with Linux UI elements baked into the game???
With the amount of games available these days, if it's not in my usual game library, I'm sure to forget I ever bought it.

Yeah, I'd agree it's not looking like a HOTAS kind of title :). For an estimated $10, it sure looks like fun, though!
