Ah, this github project used to be called world-of-might-and-magic. It was somewhat dead-ish, so if it's actually picking up again than that's great. The fact that there is still no proper open source implementation is sad. I replay these games every 3 years or so... love the lore and gameplay. Probably my favorite RPGs of all time.

Quoting: mphuZDeckard?

No, more likely just diving goggles. Look at the wetsuits hanging behind it. He is on a yacht.

Quoting: subHope it supports cross-platform cloud saves.

Such a great game!

If you mean Windows-Linux then can confirm yes.

Actually, I started playing the Linux Beta on my desktop, and wanted to continue on Deck, but I installed the Proton version by default and the cloud saves wouldn't sync up. It just kept throwing errors. Once I realized that I installed the Windows version on my Deck, I reinstalled it to use Linux version and the cloud saves finally synced. So I think Linux->Windows saves don't work (maybe it's more about different versions rather than the platform difference)... not that it matters much, but it is good to know and beware.

What's with the gatekeeping? So basically what they are saying they don't want EAC to support any other platforms but Windows, so they won't use it and hope Proton/Linux to fail... so it doesn't take away from EAC Windows resources. What a twisted logic.

Quoting: scaineHow quickly do Fedora update this stuff?

Usually rather quickly. You can see that Mesa 22.1 already has packages made and currently considered as update-candidate.

So how does it work on Fedora? Are those just official packages, updated that quickly? Or is there an equivalent to a PPA that you have to opt into to get updates that fast? I remember back in the early Ubuntu days, you had to opt into backports to get the good stuff, which was just a tick box in your package manager. Is it like that? Or is this just the standard update cycle for Fedora?

What you are looking at are official packages. There is also Koji for rpmfusion packages. For certain core packages Fedora is indeed quick, but for example Fedora 35 doesnt have Mesa 22 (yet? or ever? not sure). Fedora also has rolling kernel, so that's also usually pretty fast and new. Fedora does have user repos (checkout Fedora Copr), but as far as I am concerned those tend to be used for either obscure or officially poorly supported (old packages in main repos) or really bleeding edge stuff (you want Mesa 22.1 two weeks earlier). And I feel people don't tend to use them as much. In comparison to constatntly hearing about PPA, this tends to be more lowkey niche.

Obviously any QA issues will slow down the package. If this Mesa build will be deemed bad then next one will be created and go through another QA. Then the tag will change into either update-testing (user needs to have testing repos enabled) or update (proper).

Quoting: TheRiddick

Quoting: SolitaryYou are forgetting entire EU, nearly 500M people. So... not so limited launch.

If it don't include Australia and New Zealand then its very limited afaic. :p

Stop making up places, next time you will try to convince me that Japan is also real and not just place from anime.

Quoting: TheRiddickNot bad for a very limited launch product that is ONLY available to CA/UK/USA residence (likely for a good 2 years).

I'm in Australia, might as well wait for Steam Deck 2....

Well, if it's sorted by revenue then that makes sense. This way it will stay #1 for a while too, as the production is getting bigger, there are customers already actually waiting for it and the price is comparably ~10x higher then other products (games).

Bottles indeed have more thoughtful UI, because it takes into account the paradigm of "setup.exe -> install -> run-application.exe" that is standard with standalone Windows apps and makes it more sensible to use it.
