Back to the original topic. My thoughts after finishing Ion Fury:

- The speed of the gameplay was unrealistically high
- It had a bad oneliners
- The plot was very brief
- It had way too many explosions

All in all... It was perfect! :D

How come people who are offended seem less fun than people who offend?

Guess being offended is a whine after all.

Quoting: 0ttmanDid you notice some of the Achievements/Trophies,when you launch from the command line?

Nice. Didn't notice. Completed the game on self-compiled EDuke32 though.

Quoting: heidi.wengerI heard there's now some kinda transgender issue with this game? Anyone knows more of this?

Does this count? ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVj17XtxfQg [External Link]

Quoting: Xpanderi shouldn't say this maybe but it works amazingly in proton anyway with all the avilable render apis the game has (dx11, opengl3.2 and Vulkan) - played like 4 hours with zero problems.

Xpander is right. I decided to compare the two.

Blood: Fresh Supply works amazing in Proton. NBlood seemed less smooth, despite it being Linux native.

It is up to the player what he finds most important. Gameplay, Vulkan, or Linux native. :)

By the way: I needed to run Blood: Fresh Supply with esync disabled to avoid random crashes in Proton. Furthermore, you can also run NBlood with the Fresh Supply files.

Weird :huh:

When using eDuke32 I get "Player Setup" instead of "Save Setup" :D

Options --> Control Setup --> Keyboard Setup --> Reset To Classic

But why? :)

For the nerds... You can build the newest eDuke32 source [External Link] to play Ion Fury.

Then run your own built executable:
$ ./eduke32 
EDuke32 r8022
Built Aug 15 2019 19:49:39, GCC 9.1.0, 64-bit 
Using /home/nerd/Games/Fury/ for game data
Using /home/nerd/.config/eduke32/ for game data
Initializing SDL 2.0.10
Using "x11" video driver
Searching for game data...
Using "fury.grp" as main game data file.
...

It uses these files:
fury.grp
fury.def
fury.grpinfo

Seems the devs held up their end of the bargain. I can compile the newest eDuke32 on Linux, and use that to run the full version of Ion Fury!

Thx devs!

I can tell you my review for the Valve Index on Arch Linux with a GeForce GTX 1080:

Things that work great:
- Hardware detection.
- Setting it up in Steam.
- The "Home Room" in which you start your 3D experience.
- Linux native VR games playable (duh)!
- Multiple Windows VR games playable using Steam Play!

I was amazed by how it "just worked".

Things I encountered:
- Needed to install missing lib32 packages for doing Big Picture stuff in the "Home Room".
- Some Windows VR games not playable.
- Movies for VR (360 movies) only worked on Windows.
- Google Earth VR is way too slow on Linux (is a great program btw).
- Booting VR the second time (in the same Steam session) makes it crash.

I cannot speak for people with an AMD card, but an Arch-based distro using NVIDIA drivers works!
