Quoting: StoneColdSpider

Quoting: CyrilWhere do you live StoneColdSpider? If that's OK to ask.
I think we're pretty "lucky" in France about this aspect, we don't have data caps, except for mobile ones.

But even if you live in the city and you want unlimited data its 80 dollarydoos per month for 25Mbps speed...... 120-140 Dollarydoos per month if you want the "fastest" 250Mbps [External Link] And thats IF youve got the Fibre NBN Internet...... If Your out in the bush you are more likely to have the "Wireless NBN"...... And they have a different price structure....... [External Link] Some IPS are a bit cheaper but they are all around the same price.......

Woah... :shock: That's really expensive (as a French)!
Meanwhile in France it's like (roughly, you can have more speed or cheaper etc.) ~40-50€/month, unlimited data and speed of 1Gbps (down)/500Mbps (up) for example...

Quoting: benstor214Yeah, a lot of developers don’t respect your drive size limitations. It’s like most of them are thinking: “Why would our customers install ANY other software besides our game, right? RIGHT?”.

Not only hard drive size limitations but also internet data caps on downloads....... Not everyone has unlimited data plans........ I should know..... Im one of them......

Living out in the rural areas means theres not a lot of internet service providers here and the ones that are here all have data caps.........

Quoting: officerniceOhh nice, did not know this existed. Is it better than running the game via Lutris and the community HD upgrade?

For me: yes! Because it's not just an HD/graphical upgrade, it has a tons of upgrades of gameplay/interface etc (and it's native!).
Running the original game via Lutris will always be the same, there is no update of it.
Meanwhile VCMI is updated frequently and so is better every day! :heart:

Sorry, but I'm in love with this project, do what you want from what I'm saying. :tongue:
Just try it.
That said, I was not using the HD patch when I was playing the game with Wine, but since some releases of VCMI I only play it through it and didn't launch the Wine version since then.

Hmmm.. updates. What kind? As exciting it may sound, I also become sceptical if they mess too much with the original game.

As it's mostly subjective I think the best is that you just try it out. :wink:
Even if there are some regressions from time to time (and fixed, like any other software really) in the long term it will be the best way to play Heroes III, IMHO it's already the case as I personally like most of the enhancements.

Quoting: gbudnyThat is good news.

However, Freeablo is now a dead project, and I worry about it.
I'm not sure if license issues were sorted out. It's annoying that we had all these Diablo projects and Diablo 2. Now, they are all inactive projects.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIsn't Ubisoft the one where if you don't login for a few months they delete your purchases?

No and no:
* After 4 years of inactivity they send a notice to give you 30 days to cancel the deletion.
* If and only if you've got no game to loose in the process. [External Link]

Off topic, but happily surprised to see someone here using La Contre-Voie's services! :wink:

Quoting: neffoWhoa, Dark Reign - criminally underrated game.

And it's digitally available only on GOG, same for Dark Reign 2.

Quoting: neffoWhoa, Dark Reign - criminally underrated game.

The GOG page has some reviews that playing with WINE is broken, have you had play this version on Linux? I'm intrigued by this game

You mean the 12 years old review? I have both games on GOG so I could try though...

In this list, Empire Earth and Pharaoh are masterpiece for me. I played them a lot when I was younger, and replay them for time to time nowadays too.
