Quoting: gilboaAs far as I know, LGP's X2 still can be made to work

Do you have any more info on this? Preferably a painless recipe to follow, but I'll take anything.

Quoting: whizseLooks like Proton-6.10-GE-1 is reported to be working

So I made the compatibilitytools.d dir and put that in, I also put in 6.12-GE-1 for good measure, but it doesn't start up with either one, I have my steam installed in /usr/local/games/Steam/ and maybe that's the reason, cause I am getting this errmsg from steam:

pressure-vessel-wrap[14224]: W: Using libGLX_mesa.so.0 from provider system for some but not all architectures! Will take /usr/share/drirc.d from provider.
pressure-vessel-wrap[14224]: W: Binding directories that are located under "/usr/" is not supported!
bwrap: Can't chdir to /usr/local/games/Steam/steamapps/common/X2 - The Threat: No such file or directory

So, meh, still not painless :( Thanks for trying though!

Quoting: gilboaAfter spending months on X2, ...

Is there a painless way to play X2? I tried launching the old LGP demo of X2 but that only segfaulted, so I picked up X2 on steam when it was super cheap but steamplaying X2 resulted in missing audio

Woop woop, this looks great, hopefully someone packages replaysorcery, cause I tried to compile that sucker long ago and it was a mess. So if any packagers are listening, replaysorcery and depotdownloader would be useful =)

Quoting: PangaeaWhat happens when these useless hacks run out of classic games to ruin?

WTF are you talking about? The guy who runs beamdog came from bioware and was a big part of making OG NWN. Go deify your past somewhere else.

Does this have multiplayer?

Does it save all the jpegs to disk continuously, or does it just keep them in memory until it dumps the video?

This is actually quite fun but it desperately needs more players, playing against bots is only interesting for so long

Quoting: Kelvinhbomy setup is irrelevant because I have been able to reproduce it on different cards and CPU's but if you must know my main is a 9900k, GTX 1080 ti at 3440x1440

Hi, I don't think it's irrelevant at all, it sounds like you have pretty powerful hardware, my hunch is that because you always seem to get bad performance, maybe there's something going on with your software that isn't working out so well =) Anyway, personally I play at 1080, it might be that the higher resolution performs worse, I have no personal experience with that, but either way, if other people have fewer problems than you do, and you have plenty of problems with everything, then the problem is still likely to point to you =)

Quoting: Kelvinhbo150-300 fps nice dude! because the game is capped at 250 fps max.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be some kind of 'gotcha' statement on your part? If you're content with 250 then that's fine, but you can remove the cap in the config file which I've done. And 300 isn't even the highest I've gotten, for example in dribbling challenge 2 I get 450 fps; I didn't mention that before because I figured that was neither here nor there, however it serves as an example here I guess =) Again this is with my ancient hardware, if I had your hardware holy moly =)

Many of the titles you claim run like garbage, run fine for me. Though again, I am only running in 1080p. I hope you get your system tuned so you can finally run things without problem =)

Quoting: KelvinhboAlmost every Linux native port that I have tried over the years have performed significantly worst than on Windows, only exceptions are Valve native ports and Feral's recent conversions.

About 90% of the Linux native ports I own have been abandoned for years, Examples: Both Borderlands, both Metros, Bioshock Infinite, Dying Light, etc... the list goes on and on, at this point you can get double the performance, on some cases even more when you force your native ports to run on Proton.

Even a game that wasn't abandoned until recently "Rocket League", performed absolutely horrible on the Linux native port, I could get around 120 fps on Linux, same settings on Windows gave me 250 fps, same settings on Linux with Proton D9VK gave me 250 fps.

Hello, if you go to one place and smell shit, it might be a shitty place. When you keep smelling shit everywhere you go, maybe it's not the places you go, maybe it's just you. I don't know what kind of setup you have, but I get 150-300 fps in the native rocket league client, using a very old core i5-750 and a 980 =)
