Quoting: EagleDeltaThere are publishers who have removed a game from Steam and also removed it to download. It's rare, but it does happen.

Which one? So far I've only seen removed depots and I haven't checked whether they could be extracted from older manifests.

I only know of one instance of this, when Driver: San Francisco was delisted entirely.

This game is the only reason I still keep my Xbox 360 around.

Incidentally, Siege is the only reason I keep Windows around. It's always Ubisoft games, isn't it...

Yeah, Driver was particularly painful as it's absolutely superb. One of a few, select games I've played through more than once. I read a documentary on it recently that claimed that the average playthrough only gets to hear a tiny portion of the literally hundreds of hours of voice acting that went into the game. Sometimes I'd just ghost-hover over a target vehicle to hear the conversations!

I really, really want to say "no-one cares, lol", because I, specifically, don't care. But clearly over a quarter of a million people really, really care, so what do I know?

I'll be over here, playing Tactical Breach Wizards, waiting for Space Marine 2 to go on sale, because I'm too bitter about the £25 early access bullshit to actually pay full price for it now. I'm so petty - I'd have happily dropped the full £55 on Friday to play it, but they had to cash-grab, and now my goddam principles are throwing them a middle finger. And launching on a Monday? Yeah, okay Focus. You got at least 130000 people to buy early access (according to SteamDB on Saturday), so you don't care as you go to bed on your essentially "free" £3.25M, but you ain't getting my £55 now. Hope you're happy. (Narrator: they're very happy).

I guess you can set it to whatever you need. I use CTRL-PAGEUP for marking, and CTRL-PAGEDOWN for capture. I just don't use it very often though (see my Microphone comment above), so I don't know other keys are matching that combination and triggering.

If I try to set it to Ctrl-PageDown by pressing the keybinding in the box it enters it as Ctrl+' :dizzy:

I'm getting the exact same behaviour 😬, haven't actually set a keybind as a result, would need to test if it actually works, despite showing random keys when setting up.

For example, my numpad numbers are entered as ABCDEF.. so weird.

Yeah, so they enter weirdly during the assignment, but when you exit that config box, they should show up normally.

Quoting: sobkasSo does anyone know a good replacement for Lutris that isn't Heroic Games Launcher?

I jumped to Heroic a couple of months ago and it's a breath of fresh air. But if it's not for you, I suppose Arch Wiki has you covered. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gaming [External Link]

There's a section on launchers in there.

Edit - oh, and I just noticed that Liam covered another alternative earlier today!

Quoting: ElectricPrismIs it possible to learn of this power?

Just opt into the Steam beta, and you're done. All the details are in the original article linked in this article.

Quoting: _MarsNow I just need an option to record my microphone and I might actually use this. It's so close.

I'm in the same boat. Frustrating, as they acknowledged the issue about four releases ago.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMeanwhile LUTRIS is still with the version 8-26 shown as "stable"

Lutris is switching to ULWGL for later wine versions. See this Lutris forum response [External Link] on why 8-26 is (probably) the last wine version that Lutris supports directly.

That said, I'm baffled as to how this actually works. Lutris still has a "wine version management" tool, and doesn't list ULWGL there, so I'm not really sure how you're supposed to configure this. I use Heroic these days which seems to have a much cleaner interface for this stuff. And the GOG authentication actually loads, unlike Lutris, which just times out.

I wanted to love this game, but it was pretty frustrating trying to train your avatar to do what you wanted.

Haha - it reminded me of the actual angry frustration I'd feel in later games like RimWorld where I want a certain job done right away, prioritise it as high as possible, deprioritise or remove EVERYTHING ELSE, and my workers either ignore me completely, continuing what they were already doing, or just to rub it in, sit around doing nothing! I'm practically shouting at the screen - DO THE THING!

Man, these colony-builders are clearly not for me.
