Quoting: CorbenIt's so much fun! (you can watch it here [External Link] :D)
My second playthrough was walking only, no trucks or bikes. :) Also I just go around the MULE and live ammo terrorist areas. Sometimes you find cool bits of landscape when going the long way.

Quoting: CorbenAtm I'm really enjoying Death Stranding, the graphics, the characters, the story... and I guess I will enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn when I finished Death Stranding as well. Great games, thanks Valve to let us play those AAA games on Linux!
I've briefly popped in to one or two of your Death Stranding streams. It's one of my favourite games of the past few years and it's fun to see other people discover it.

Also notice how it has a whole screen showing what open source software was used to make it. Mainly just tiny bits, but it's nice that they actually bother to show it.
What have you been playing? Have a Sunday chat with us

Quoting: inferneluLast Epoch to support the developers for making a linux native version, i am gonna wait a little bit until i start playing, to give them some time to fix more bugs
The native version runs really poorly here, so they might need a lot more time. Runs ok under Proton, except for some areas with bad frame rate.
Metro Exodus from 4A and Deep Silver has officially released for Linux

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: GuestOut of curiosity, do you know if is it still using some libdxvk.so in the linux build like it does on stadia?
If the ray tracing actually works on Linux (haven't seen any tests on that yet), then they must have worked from the DX12 path and dxvk wouldn't have been helpful. It actually makes me wonder if they implemented a whole Vulkan backend for their engine. Which would also explain why porting it took a while.
The ray tracing does work. (although eh, you're not really missing much without it)

I don't see the dxvk lib in there any more, so maybe they did some copypasta instead. :) Totally legit dev strategy.

Quoting: InhaleOblivionHmm so if we already bought the game, but wait until Friday to download it/play it for official Linux support. Does that count as a Linux sale?
I believe you have to play within 2 weeks of purchase.

Quoting: tomaszgSad he had to apologize. It's only encouraging more attacks of this kind on other people.
I think he needs to apologize more, perhaps a bit of groveling thrown in. And sheesh, the wording. "Women" Stallman, seriously? Stallman's rap sheet is long, ranging far beyond just comments about a pedophile.
