FPS game Ballistic Overkill's Bloodlust update is out

So I started playing this game again, since I've returned to Steam. I am still very much in the middle of like/dislike with how I feel about this game. Perhaps, it is because I'm an older gamer and use to quick deathmatch games that I can LAN with family and friends. I picked this up as it was the first MP shooter that I purchased/supported that did not have those feature to see what that's all about. That aside.

The game performs excellently. The game looks great.

I still have issue with teams not being evened out until players decide to switch. Why there is not auto-switch, I have no clue.

Lately, I've been in matches with players that are really high ranks and levels with really elite weapons and those usually do not go very well. I am still under 20 level with the Berserker which I am trying unlock all the stuff for.

I've had some great matches with people when then the servers are full but when they are low it's pretty bad. That can only be helped with more players, tho.

They're should be an offline mode to try out the classes at least. Having to join a match with a new class and having permanent stats of that match affect your always shown stats when loading the game blows.

Unepic is awesome. I do not like many Metroidvania games but this one had me from beginning to end.

I just picked up Turok Dinosar Hunter from GOG. I played the game as a kid but I cannot remember ending it but I messed with some mods on it for back then.

Strife Veteran Edition was my favorite game that I played in 2017 that was SP and these guys made that happen to.

I am going to keep my eye on this one for when the GOG version makes it's way.

What are you playing this weekend?

Wow. This thing is great. Super simple to install and get up and running.

Quoting: MblackwellCare to paste the results of ldd IonMaiden_Linux.bin?

Thanks dude. I forgot about that command.

I found my fix here - https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libs/libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0

Quoting: MblackwellInstalling sdl mixer should fix up that error in theory.

It looks like it's installed and latest version.

Quoting: MblackwellThe installer on the 3DR website for whatever reason was packaged as an EXE, but it's really just a self extracting archive. You can extract the contents to whatever folder you would like and it should be good to go as far as I know. You might need to set maiden.bin (or maiden_nodrm.bin, can't remember which file is included) as an executable to get it going I don't make the packages so I'm sorry I can't give you more advice than that. If things aren't working and you can tell me the exact problems you are having (and even if when running there are errors) I will do my best to help.

I played the game on 16.04 but I can not remember if I installed what was needed or if I symlinked. The deb file from Ubuntu repos stated that an older version is spread's installed.

Quoting: KristianI bought it 3 times to show my support.

That's stellar. I am hoping they will provide a GOG key as some point because the installer on their site does not seem to work on Ubuntu Mate 18.04 at this time.

I think it needs a symlink but I can never get those right.
