This looks like a CardHunter type game. Very interested in this one.

There aren't too many truly co-op games out there - as in, games that require you to coordinate with another player in order to advance. Portal 2 is a good example, but in terms of "special place in my heart", I'd definitely recommend Ibb & Obb.

This looks pretty cool. I think I remember the first - it was a 2D side scrolling "escape the tower" type thing, wasn't it? Let down by overly-simple combat, I think, but the graphics looked pretty nice.

This looks like the game they wanted to make all along. I'm not sure why, but the environment puts me in the mind of Mirror's Edge...

I saw this a few months back... on twitter maybe? But there wasn't anything that suggested that it was getting a Linux release. Massively hyped to play this. It looks amazing.

Huh. Bought it, it doesn't run, at all. Probably related to glibc version that micha noted above. I'll check the discussion forums, but will probably just refund. I can't be bothered with hassle for games these days... :(

Quoting: EikeI sometimes get strange scrolling behaviour, probably due to quotes folding afterwards or something like this. When you use his link, go to the URL box and press enter, maybe it will resolve properly?

Nope - still just a generic page URL for me. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, latest Chrome. Same behaviour on Kubuntu 18.10, latest Chrome.

I was curious, so I've just tried it on Firefox - it works. So this is a Chrome issue.

Huh, scratch that. I just tried Chrome incognito and it works there too. So it's something to do with my profile, or something related to an add-on I use that isn't switched on with incognito. Probably a greasemonkey script, although the only one I use disables those annoying pop ups that appear when your mouse leaves the browser window... I'm sure you know the ones. Even then, that script is hit or miss, so probably that.

Quoting: scaineYour link isn't to a single comment - you can do that from the toolbar in the comment itself (one to the left of the "quote" button). You linked to a page of comments.

The link is to an actual comment, the one starting with "Well...<snip>

Huh, well that doesn't work for me. Kneekoo's link is:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/you-can-now-easily-run-the-epic-store-on-linux-with-lutris-epic-suggests-applying-for-a-grant.13964/page=2#r152746

But when I click on the "get link" button I get:

So, the reference is different, and the style is different.

And when I click on Kneekoo's link, I get taken to the top of the article, at page 2 of the comments.

No idea what's happening there.

Quoting: scaineNo one is "shaming" Epic for not releasing the client on Linux. Where are you getting that from?

I put a link on shaming, to the forum post that got a lot of likes.

Your link isn't to a single comment - you can do that from the toolbar in the comment itself (one to the left of the "quote" button). You linked to a page of comments.

Regardless, I didn't see anything that qualified as shaming.

Honestly, I disagree with pretty much almost everything you've written on this topic. That happens, and it's a shame when we can't see eye to eye, or influence each other in any way, but there it is.

I couldn't care less about Fortnight tbh, but I'm quite keen to play Vermintide II which is in the same boat. There are probably a handle of other games I'd play if EAC was no longer an issue.

Quoting: StenPettJust tested this, and ran Subnautica flawlessly on Manjaro. Downloading a few other games as I type this, including that thing that's all the rage, despite me not really liking the whole "Battle Royale" genre...

Sadly, EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) will scupper you there, I think. Apparently Epic (who own EAC) are working with Valve's DXVK developer to see if there's a solution.

The other big anti-cheat, Battle-Eye, have already said "it can't be done", which rules out any hope for Arma 3, now that Virtual Programming have been dropped as their experimental Linux porting house.

[edit: I wrote "haven't already said", instead of "have already said"... eejit]
