But I don't see the Sandy Bridge CPU on that affected list. :huh:
It start with the 6th generation, am I wrong?

It starts with Sandy Bridge. But that generation had AES-NI instructions only for I5 or above.

OK, thanks, still confusing I think, why not listing properly the affected CPU then?

Quoting: LiamPictured - Aliens: Eradication running on Linux with GZDoom 4.5.0. That's not a game pack I plan to play in a dark room, even during the day it was impressively scary.

I didn't try this game pack, but it's not surprising, I remember playing Alien Trilogy on the PS1 and it was pretty scary too, with a great atmosphere.

Quoting: GuestThat is pretty much the question of support. You can try older drivers for older nvidia cards, but using older cards is pointless because they will just waste electricity and barely deliver any performance - that is why companies stop supporting them.

What... Producing new cards is a more waste of electricity than using older cards. In this domain, replacing the components is worse than using older ones. But I assume you care only about your electricity consumption, right?
But you assume that everybody just want to play the big recent games while maintaining great performance, in this case sure it's pointless to use old cards.
Using older cards is pointless for you, because you only seem to care about performance (and features, we know).
Gaming doesn't mean for everybody "AAA gaming", and it's particularly true for Linux users, as other said: we could just stick with Windows.
If someone is happy using an old card because it's just works fine, and one day Nvidia (or other) decide to not support it anymore, it's still an issue. This is a waste, throwing components that still works because people have to buy new ones is nonsense for me...

I read all the thread, and, lunix, what a guy you are.
At GOL we're used to see guys like you, from time to time.

Still waiting for the Linux releases of Vaporum: Lockdown and Blashpemous on GOG.
I'm not confident about the second one though... Liam could you ask The Game Kitchen about it?

Same as Liam, very surprised to see this game release on Linux, thanks to the devs!

Quoting: Avehicle7887Quick update on this story, I contacted Mimimi regarding this issue a few weeks ago, got their reply this morning and I quote:

Thanks for your email! We always appreciate feedback from our fans. 😊

We understand your disappointment. However, this is a topic that is handled and coordinated by the publisher THQ Nordic. They are in charge of the publishing topics, which also involves the release strategy for the different platforms. We're focusing on making the best game possible.
It's best if you reach out to them directly on Discord or here: https://www.thqnordic.com/company/contact [External Link]. The more people let them know that they want a Mac / Linux release for GoG the better!

It seems the blocker is THQ indeed here, not the devs themselves.

Thanks for the feedback! It was obvious, but it's better to have confirmation.

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoIf it runs on stadia, it's running on Linux.

It doesn't mean it's native. And I think it's quite important.
Seriously we know barely nothing about their infrastructure.

Yeah, sorry guys... but I'm not so sure anymore that Stadia really runs native Linux games...
