I tested it yesterday for many hours (thanks to liberodark on the first news), and I must say it was very nice, I really enjoyed it... like if I already knew this game.
I was close to the end (I think) and the game crashed, I lose my save... I will relaunch it!
But yeah like you I have bad performance whit it, but It's not really an issue right now.

For the H&S / A-RPG on Linux it's true we need some! Actually Diablo III tends to boring me (recently) but I love Grim Dawn (It's a pity there isn't native Linux version).

So fingers crossed for Last Epoch! (I'm thinking about backing it)

Edit: I will test the new build (0.4.9.5) and see if it's better...

Liam is in front of an invisible wall. Sad it's broken... Hope the devs will fix that soon, they should have delayed it instead. :S:

Edit: Too late!

Quoting: x_wingI found this:

I may be trying this during the weekend (if ever get enough time :/)

As far as I know, it's not using Galaxy API. If you want a well working downloader, try this: https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader [External Link]

Looks like nebula is a GUI wrapper of lgogdownloader (is listed as mandatory dependency in the code). My idea is to give my girlfriend another games source, so having a GUI is mandatory in my case.

In fact I tried it and I have it still installed. But I prefer use the .sh files. (And it's the same with the itch.io app)

Quoting: LeopardI can play Skyrim Drm freed. By simply downloading a cracked version.

LOL, Seriously? Ok so "all" the games are DRM-Free, cause yeah you know you can download cracks... :|

:Facepalm:

But i agree this debate is endless, we need to discuss this on the forum. (This discussion and all the sarcasm reminds me of Windows users VS Linux users, think about it...)

There is a wish on GOG : https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/trailblazers [External Link]

But I don't think it will be available there, anyway a vote does cost nothing.

Guys this topic leads nowhere... :(

Like jens said:

it is either 100% one side or 100% the other, nearly no in-between, at least not outspoken

It will also be on GOG at release.

Great! Fingers crossed!

It seems very unlikely, but if we have to stop providing access to GOG services and GOG content permanently (not because of any breach by you), we will try to give you at least sixty (60) days advance notice by posting a note on www.gog.com and sending an email to every registered users – during that time you should be able to download any GOG content you purchased.

So they make clear, that you still will be permitted to use your purchases (backed up naturally).

Also, they point out this:

If you would like us to delete your account please contact our Support Team here. Termination will not affect already existing rights or obligations of us or you.

I.e. you can close GOG account yourself, and still have the right to use your purchases.

Plus :

In the very unlikely situation that we have to stop running GOG.com we'll do our best to give you advance notice, so that you can download and safely store all your DRM-free content.

This : https://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm_digital_restrictions_management [External Link] and the FAQ [External Link]

The problem there is... With GOG you can download your game on their website OR with Galaxy. With Steam you don't have that choice, you HAVE TO install their client on your PC and then download/install your games.
Why you can't download a game on their website, it is too much complicated for them?
And (tell me if i'm wrong) you can't use Steam all the time in Offline mode.

Imagine if you'd buy any digital product on Amazon (just for example, I hate Amazon) but you can't download it until you install their software on your machine...
Anywhere you buy a game etc on Internet, they have to know if it's really you who bought it, so you login and download your stuff.
Or maybe you have an another idea to achieve that? Come on...

Hi there!

Do you know if the game could get a GOG release (or any kind of DRM-Free release) in the future?

Sorry to ask that guys but it might be important. Thanks!
