Quoting: PixelPiThe Linux version runs pretty fine.

On your particular setup may be. It doesn't mean it runs fine in majority of other cases. If GOG rejected it for technical reasons, it means developers didn't want to fix some major game breaking bugs.

I think instead of steam GOG provides no defined runtime environment.

My setup is very common as you can see. I use an intel CPU and a GTX card. A gaming setup could hardly be more usual. I simply do not have your problems with the steam version. And while steam gives you a defined runtime environment, it should run on any any GTX/intel gaming system with steam. These system are the most common for Linux.

If you are interested in a Linux version, please sign here.

Oh give me break. Of course there is interest in a Linux version. Why do developers even bother asking this question?

I just signed. :)

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoJust for curiousity. Can the DRMFREE version of Metro Redux run with this?

Such a shame that the Linux version isn't on GOG... (Like many others too)

I've heard the Linux version is broken anyway (that's why GOG didn't accept it), so not a big deal I suppose.

The Linux version runs pretty fine. I stream it nearly every friday night. See my last stream:

Sorry, is in German. I play Metro now for half a year or so. It's an impressing game with an epic story. I bought both Metros for 9 Euro on steam at a summer sale.

I had to set SSAA to 0.5. If you look very closely you can see some texturizers (sorry, do not know how I should call this) in my stream. Especially with NPCs. But that does not matter to me. The Game runs very smooths without any frame drops. I play with the VSYNC option and 60 fps. The game is very good for streaming, because it has an unique atmosphere and a lot of action.

This seems to be not a Feral port but a day-1-release. Codemasters unfortunately have not ported F1 2016. All the more pleasing that this game comes as a day-1-release. Looks amazing. Could be the new "Rocket League".

Quoting: PixelPiIt's still possible to buy gifts and store them in inventory, if you are using the bic pictures mode.

But then the gift is in your inventory and you can't do anything with it. :)

You cannot gift them away?!? Sounds like a bug...?

Yes, I cannot gift it away. It was Euro Truck Simulator 2. There is a discount on it this weekend.

I think is a bug/inconsistence. They have forgotten to update the bic picture interface. I am probably the only one who uses it. ;)

So it's still possible to store new gifts in the inventory.

I have already contacted the steam support. Let's see what they say.

Quoting: sasannAnd I could not add him as a friend cause you cannot have friends on steam unless you spend $5 or more on games.

I added a new account (for a kid) to my friend list, but it was very tricky.

I have a steam group. I was able to find and join the steam group with the new account. Then I could invite the new account as a friend or vice versa, don't remember.

Quoting: 0aTTThere is no strong connection to "MADE TO WADE" or to 茶 - chá.

There is a connection with SW. There is some book character called Wade (and books are accidentally called Shadow Warrior). Make a quick search "Wade Shadow Warrior", and the phrase "made to" reminds me of something mentioned in SW1 in one of the fortune cookies, I need to look it up. Also, the symbol looks like one of the monsters with a helmet in the second game. At least I got such association right away. Overall, on associative scale, I'd vote for SW2.

I can't see what this have to do with our riddle. You have a connection to Wade by a name. But this is far away to solve the riddle. This is just an association.

茶 + MADE TO WADE = cha

This reminds me on Bayonettas Cha Cha Slide:

:)

Just kidding. But there are currently a lot of rumors about new Bayonetta Games/Ports.

While I'm sure that also SW2 will come to Linux, I doubt strongly that Feral will make the port. They already had confirmed a Linux version:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/sadly-it-looks-like-shadow-warrior-2-wont-be-a-day-1-linux-release.7982

So they announce it first, then they do not talk about it anymore and then Feral creates a riddle for it?

What kind of chaotic strategy is this? :)

Quoting: Guest2) The letter 茶 is the title from a Nier: Automata subquest.

But what means "Made to Wade" in this context? Simplified Wade is the most common romanization system for writing Standard Mandarin Chinese. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Wade [External Link]

I think it is impossible to simply ignore this point because it is evident.

茶 = cha

If you subscribe 茶 according to the rules of simplified Wade you get the syllable "cha".

It is this syllable that you must bring in conjunction with a game to solve the riddle.
