They pledged to remove it , once they do i may re-install it.
I get where you are coming form personally could not give a rats fuck if some game studio wants to know what game i played after i played there game hell pay me what they paid red shell and i would happily tell them.

Including , OS , screen resolution , browser and sites visited.
All in the name of "marketing".

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoI like this game. I runs really nice on Linux and the gameplay is fluid and works very well with the steam controller... Also, I'm glad it was made by brazilians ;)
Its a fun game and the other game they brought out Horizon is not bad would like to see a story driven fps game but thats more of the type of game i am looking for more than anything.

This wine version show more work with quartz, devenum and amstream
mrdeathjr could you tell me more about this?
These are multimedia libraries, which affect video and audio playback in many older games. You often had to install native overrides to get sound and video sequences. If Wine developers fix them - there won't be any need for it.
Would this help with things like the Resident Evil Remakes? Always had trouble getting it to work properly, I think it uses something called "bink video" or something but I did install WMP as suggested on wineHQ iirc, which got the intro cutscenes to work but the game still crashed upon starting a game before the opening cutscene :(
Well Lutris has scripts for all the remakes they work well it boot as i am not keen on the remakes its as far as i ll dive in but i confirm they start at least as far as menu screen and loops to gameplay demo

Quoting: sbolokanovAhh Ninja are easy to take out once you know what to look for also and you may not like doing it you have to role a shotgun its the quickest way to gun them down before they reach you.
Actually, ninjas are the one thing keeping me from playing this more. I hate games where it just feels like I'm there as ninja fodder. I get your point about knowing "what to look for" but many of these players are so good that they just slice me up by the time I know they're there. I'll kill for "ninja free servers." Especially as someone who likes to play sniper in the game, we're sitting ducks for them.
Ahh i can help with the detection sound wise if you play with a headset you can hear them coming sounds like 80s laser beam effect when they are running towards you then there is a black smoke trail, lastly if your fond of the sniper class always make sure you can see 360 in all directions on the container map dont bother playing sniper youll never manage it its too easy to counter snipe with the marksman class.

Quoting: Purple PuddingAn article on Ballistic Overkill is published on Tuesday... Is that a Teabag Tuesday reference?

Jokes aside it was great rediscover this little game! Do you know what bonus we get at high levels in the classes (levels>20)?
I am not aware of any I have the Tank and Ninja at level 20 not noticed anything except i keep unlocking weapon skins

Unity game engine 2018.2 is now out with experimental Vulkan support in the editor

Nice unity looks so good now its a shame there are still so many asset placers rather than game devs making games on it. But i am really hopeful that with these new tools more developers will use unity rather than developing an in house engine as that sadly killed off any chance of seeing there are billions on linux as they had to custom build the engine because at the time unity only supported 100 units on screen at once.

Quoting: argaman123I think you should have a look on that old trello post [External Link] I found a long time ago.
I asked them about it in a discussion on steam before about a year, and they said that it's not their main goal back then.
So far, this website shows almost every single update that ever came out, way before it did, so I think it might be correct this time.
Oh, now that's interesting. A smaller mode, where you each have to pick a unique class - sounds good and should make games quite varied instead of three invisible ninjas running around :P
That has been my main issue with this game and it sure turned my off.

SteamOS has a minor update to test the waters before a bigger update

"Think $5 million vs. $100 million.
Present that to a board of directors and guess which one they will choose.[/quote]Oh i agree I also dont believe the ones that dual boot to play hl3 will stick around once hl3 gets boring it would take a sustained program of platform exclusives to keep people on linux. Bottom line when and if Linux has parity and its day and date for all the big triple aaa releases and i mean getting gta or dead dead 2 etc then linux base will grow because the os is free.
There are a lot of barriers to coming over to linux full time, there is a learning curve I remmeber using wine for the first time i was looking at people talking about wine bottles and depenendancies and i remember thinking fuck this am out. At least on windows all i have to do is double click and wait until it installs then am free to play. But i stuck with it because well windows 8 was an abomination and windows 10 is even worse and learnt a new platform from scratch.
Other obsticles include the linux elite you know who you are that refuse to help people and just make bitchy comments and a large part of the linux community is very anti linux noob. I think in all honesty Linux has hit its status quo now we will get 3 maybe 4 big/ish games a year and a bunch of indie titles and small scale games from small publishers. It would take a big big move by valve like Team Fortress 3/Left 4 Dead 3 and Half Life 3 all exclusive to linux but financially that does not make sense.
