Water has flow under the bridge. My son of 13 is currently playing TW2 bought on GOG on a modest pc (ubuntu, i3, 960, 8go) and enjoy it. Thank you Virtual Programming and CD Projekt RED for that game 'n port.

I would conclude from this story (I didn't known before)
We love all games and ports. We like companies that try porting, even if it falls short sometimes. If ports come unfinished, we can ask for better job with positive communication. If nobody answers or works on, then it seems that, as all communities in the world, we have our bunch of mad-haters to release from their leashes :)

Thanks for "Quick soldier info" and "Stop Wasting My Time" discovery. I'm currently playing long war 2, I was looking for something like "Stop Wasting My Time". Nice!

About overlord, I prefer War of overlord [External Link]
and I found Age of Wonder III too slow to progress to be catched.
Paradox is not focused on percussive and mainstream games, Triumph too... Let's see their future games, hoping for fun and easy gameplay rather than Rube Goldberg machines.

Quoting: Guestshowing it running on a gtx 1080 and a core i7-7700k

There's really no fluidity to this at all. What framerate is this? It seems like really horrible performance given the hardware.

Strange indeed, does the video recording can do that? I run it smoothly with a i7 and 1060 all max. Before with a 960, I had to put a lot graphic stuff to medium but at 40 to 60 fps and no (apparent) stuttering.

Quoting: malek69Use wine64(./configure --enable-win64) Use mods:The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, Super Turbo lighting Mod, Unification patch for 1.31 and 1.31GOTY game versions and more. I have only one DlC "The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine"

Curiosity: Hi Malek69, what's your material? Can you run it smoothly by decreasing graphics?

Can you explain all steps to install wine staging and the game with the less pain please?

Quoting: GuestHow populated is this right now? last time I tried it I couldn't play multiplayer.

I always find a server. I'm in Europe, I play on German, Italy and Belgium servers (I can get their name this evening if you need?). When all games on those server are full, I create my own game from on of those servers, and I rarely have to wait more than 3 minutes before playing (so that 3 to 4 more players joint on mode with flag like blitz or similar). I usually play between 8 pm and ~11 pm Greenwich Mean Time.

Alternating with Rocket League, the two online games to play! Every game modes with flag are fun, blitz in first, hope to meet you there. I will put after my nickname [GOL] if some of you also play this game ^^

Even if he is a good popularizer, he seems to participate everywhere/time there are some money to catch. One point more to alert about this kind of kickstarter call.

The unofficial mod from pavonis [External Link], Long War 2 [External Link], was a nice add-on. I hope that this DLC will bring more novelty than LW2 provided ^^

Quoting: Refuerzo1I'm considering to support you, Liam. I'm an eager reader of your work and articles, and all of them are brilliantly written, authentic and with knowledge of cause...

Me too. Thank for paypal, as 5€ per month is too high for my wallet but I can spend more than 1€.
A typical web subscription to the best non-OS-specialized journal about gaming in France is 39 € per year VAT included [External Link] (there are cheaper journals but less funny and objective in their tests). I can spend that amount of money per year to access GOL and would love to be premium for that (that's sound fantastic to be "premium" :D). Even if your works completely deserve it, you are a bit expensive Liam ^^

Can I suggest some potential developments for GOL, Liam?
1/ By reading many of your papers, I often feel that somewhere on the net, we lack of a more militant site that would organize, quantify, show and advertise requests, demands, etc. for linux gamers. A place where you can create a web page to vote (thus number for developers) for some ports or kind of games, indicate how much you would fund such port or buy those games on linux, for requests to sellers (e.g. GOG or itch) to do this or that, etc.
Structure of such webpage would be(? I don't develop website :'(): A title of the vote, a summary of the request, a list of possibilities, show the number of votes for each possibility...and a discussion section like for each of your paper to detail and discuss requests ;-)

2/ a list of games you wrote about with vote (readers will do, would rank game in this list per genre?) and keyword about the kind of game (type: RPG, Shooter, etc.; difficulty; age: I'm always looking ofr good ideas for my sons of 12 and my nieces and nephews of 5, 8, 15) to help us for choosing the next games we would play.. with link to steam, gog, itch, humble stores (they can remunerate you for that?)

3/ A (or some) clear webpage(s) where we can aggregate links (with a search engine?) pointing to useful developments and discoveries, like wine-wrappers, project like openMW, interesting mods for linux gaming on popular games, etc.
